PROCESS


I've worked with projections and volumetric light before, but always using video projectors. Nothing compares to the bright, crisp beam of a laser projector. To see light visualized in a tangible 3D form is an experience that thrills everyone the first time they see it. As one of my favorite mediums, even now I cant resist but to reach out and touch the beams as they sparkle with particulate fog. 

The laser projector brought with it a brand new set of difficult procedures. Limited to only line-work animations, the laser projector uses an array of quickly spinning mirrors to rapidly reflect a beam into the path of the texture you feed it. It is not a constant image and cannot be relied on for complete repeatability. The process to project custom animations from C4D had many steps that often took half a day to even preview, but the results were beautiful and always made the effort  worthwhile. 

Ultimately this project was a series of late nights making good memories with people I love. Through months of fog were born new friends and fresh ideas. I'm thankful for everyone I met on this project, and everything I learned. Here is a behind the scenes edit of the magic and love that went into this project.
