AMON TOBIN 2.0

Still from the piece I designed/animated, Bedtime Stories

One of the coolest jobs of 2012 for me was Amon Tobin 2.0 at VSquared Labs.  It was my second go at Amon Tobin’s Isam,  having done a piece in the previous years show (“Nightswim”) – except last time I only had 4 days to make it.  This time I had 5 weeks to make something awesome but was such a blowout ended up taking 9- UG! Anyway it was long and hard but it was a work of passion and it was a real privilege working with artists like Amon Tobin, Vello Virkhaus, Pete Sistrom, Carlo Sa, Jordan Halsey, Heather Shaw and ALL others involved (cheers to all!) at Vsquared and Vitus Modus.  Got to directly work with Amon 3D digitizing him for the piece I was creating,  “Bedtime Stories”- had a great session at the old Vsquared Labs Cleon studio and made some cool 3D models.  In the final live piece a 3D virtual model of Amon in a spacesuit lays in his suspended animation chamber on his ship and after it is hit by a field of micrometorites, the ship begins to destruct and there is a seemless transition to where the REAL Amon Tobin in a spacesuit appears in the exact same position and rocks out the crowd- the effect turned out awesome!  Anyway was a great project!

The above video is from Vice magazine’s Creator’s Project and I appear in the video consulting with Amon during a test run.  There’s lots more info and videos at VSquared Labs!

Here’s some vids of my section- takes place in a space ship
From 1:15 to 3:25 is my section- took forever!!! (9 weeks!)

INFECTED MUSHROOM – FungusAmongUs 2013 Tour

Some Davy Force 3D mapped machines over sweet Brummbaer 3D caverns

A fantastic gig from 2012 was animation directing the 90 min. visuals show for Infected Mushroom’s FungusAmongUs tour, at Vsquared Labs.    The result is an architecturally projection mapped spectacle that now tours the world.  Creative director Vello Virkhaus and VSquared Producer Anastasia King challenged our animation team to create a 90 min. animated piece that takes the users on a visual journey to accompany the Infected Mushroom live set.  Our 90 min. piece was created with a skeleton animation crew of Carlo Sa, Jesse Nikette, Pete Sistrom, Adam Smith and myself @ Vsquared labs, with add’l animation being created offsite by 3D Fractal wunderkind, Brummbaer, as well as Rhode Island super studio Treanor Brothers animation.  We likened the result to a “new” version of The Minds Eye videos from the 90’s- lots of psychedelic CGI animation.  The live set is live VJed  by VSquared’s Jesse Nikette on a custom system programmed by touch wizard Pete Sistrom at VSquared.  Aweome set pieces designed/built by Heather Shaw and crew at Vita Modus.  Was tremendous working with Erez and Duvdev from Infected and all their people.

Special thanks to everyone with Infected Mushroom, Vsquared Labs and Vita Modus!
