Stag is a live action photography / CG / VFX hybrid film, it's been my main personal project for late 2019 / 2020.

Plates were shot at various locations around the Lake District in Cumbria, Crombie in Scotland, and Highgate Woods in London. Additional macro photography footage is used at various places. Forest sounds recorded on location.

CG was made using Houdini for 3D (rendered in Redshift), Nuke for 2D. Music was made using Ableton Live, also running Native Instruments' Pharlight and Straylight a lot. Photography - Panasonic GH5. More at davewebstervfx.com.

"We" is a visual essay on the state of being connected – a metaphorical study of interpersonal relationships and social constraints.

Personal experiences and current social contexts are portrayed through a series of abstract analogies reflecting the essence of our everyday social interactions.

Background

Motion Design Plus invited the artists to collaborate on a piece with full creative freedom for their latest "Made With" campaign sponsored by Msi, Dropbox & Adobe.

Directed by Martina Stiftinger & Rita Louro

From executive producer Ridley Scott, Raised by Wolves centres on two androids tasked with raising human children on a mysterious virgin planet. As the burgeoning colony of humans threatens to be torn apart by religious differences, the androids learn that controlling the beliefs of humans is a treacherous and difficult task.

This highly-anticipated series is now showing on HBO Max.

Scott directed the first two episodes of the 10-episode series, marking his television series directorial debut for American audiences. The series was created by Aaron Guzikowski, acclaimed writer and visionary behind the highly lauded film, Prisoners.

For the series, STUDIO AKA was invited to design and animate the Main Title sequence. Studio AKA director Steven Small designed intricately hand-rendered shots depicting the destruction of our planet and all remaining life departing to find refuge elsewhere in the solar system. Along with a team of animators, Small drew reference from a wide array of source materials, using a combination of 3D, rotoscoping, and simple artwork to create these captivating sequences portraying chaos and destruction.

Small says of the project:
"It’s not every day you are invited to work on a project in a genre with the person who created some of the most resonant and powerful examples of the genre itself. I was pinching myself on regular occasions. Collaborating with Ridley Scott on the title sequence of ‘Raised By Wolves’ offered a rare glimpse into his creative process.

He draws, storyboards, thinks like a painter, and has an unsettlingly good eye. Aaron Guzikowski’s darkly compelling story contains a powerful pioneering spirit that carries humanity's flawed past into a fragile dream of the future. We wanted to create something that felt both broken but hopeful to reflect these contrasting themes. Creating these sequences for Ridley Scott was an artistic thrill."

River is an audiovisual crafting brand.

This Year we sponsored the Motion Plus Design for their sixth event in Paris. On this occasion we were asked to introduce our studio. But rather than deliver another showreel we decided to create a manifesto video where we could play with some funny storytelling through our different baselines. We used the showreel codes to create the same type of dynamic except that each shot was created for the film with various artistic directions.
Anyway the intention was to create a demo tape with a somewhat atypical shape.
Thank you for watching !
