Goodman Group - Wired For Change

Created for Yonder Creative. This was my attempt at a more maximalist / FUI style animation. A nice CGI challenge - creating an entire city like circuit board in only a few weeks. Bit of Houdini magic, bit of compositing but mostly flying around. / / CD: Benjamin Gay / Julie Faktor Account …

A Toby And Pete Project. Back in 2017 we designed this minimalist set of visuals for Aussie legends Rufus Du Sol. Simple shapes and motion take on a whole new quality when magnified to the size of a stage wall. This was an exercise in restraint, treating the LED wall as a light source more than …
