A collection of works from 2021 to 2022, resembling the new style we created for Volkswagens Live Experiences (Press conferences, keynotes, …). We interpreted Volkswagens New Brand Design in a new, interesting, graphical way: their NBD relies heavily on gradients and vibrant colors, two aspects which we translated into a 3D environment, working with lights and shadows. For every event, we made a new iteration to make a fresh new version of our design system. (Videos are in chronological order from Autumn 2021 to Summer 2022)
Motion Graphics
Scorpions – Peacemaker
Music video for the well-known german band “Scorpions”. The whole video was filmed in the hyperbowl, a virtual production studio based near munich. I had the chance to create some graphics to support the futuristic neon environments, which were then used as overlay and partly also as a complete graphical environment.
Volkswagen – Virtus
This was a project we did at ACHT Frankfurt over a timespan of three months for Volkswagen India. It included a 15-sec Teaserfilm, Still Images in 8K and a 45-sec Reveal Film. I worked mostly on shading of the car-models, the still images and the end sequence of the Reveal Film which takes place on the rooftop of the garage.
Ferrero – Kinder Country
I was lucky to have the chance to work on this fun TVC together with Florian Meimberg and the kind people at IAM and Havas. In this TVC, the protagonist gets transported by a swirl which is made from the various ingredients contained in a Kinder Country Bar. I art directed the swirl from concept to final image and animated (Cinema 4D & X-Particles) and rendered (Redshift) it. Compositing was done in Flame by Markus Wellmann at Acht.
VOLKSWAGEN – CES 2016
While we worked on multiple films for BMW at the time, this one was something different. Director Alex Feil had a film in mind that was unexpectedly artful and special: the protagonist should be able to change the world around him. This story should be told through animated water-colour skies, capturing the golden hour that was originally filmed in southern africa.
Porsche – VW Group Night 2016
My task was to create a animated Stage Design for the floor and the walls of the stage which was then projection-mapped onto it. As this had to be pre-rendered, it was challenging for the drivers to follow the aerodynamics on the floor, which did not always work out as one can see.
Shapes
SHAPES is a visual experiment that originated from styleframes and motiontest for a commercial project, which was canceled later in the process.
BMW – The iX
Being the first in a series of product films to come, this one showcases the design of the first fully-electric SUV by BMW in a different way. It deals with real social media comments by real users who are criticizing the progressive design of the original concept car for the iX, though it contradicts them with the images shown. We developed the visual concept for the graphics and finally composited and animated them.
