Watch this amazing CGI 3D experimental short by the talented artist, Simon Russell! Dysco is about synesthetic drones, neon dubstep and the surveillance state. For more information, please see the details below: To find out more, download free clips and 3D models from the film go to: simonrussell.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/dysco.html Audio by Simon Russell & Toot London http://www.tootdotcom.com http://www.simonrussell.blogspot.com http://www.twitter.com/simonfarussell The environments are based on photographs I took around London. I used Cinema 4D's Projection Man tool to project it onto geometry and then I began populating it with futuristic buildings, barbed wire and drones. Before building anything in 3D I generally researched in online and sketched it out by hand. Most of the animation and particle work was created in Cinema 4D. I used After Effects to composite and add in extra effects and Premier to arrange and edit everything. I found the integration between After Effects and Premier CC surprisingly good. I used Thinking Particles and Xpresso a lot for the early automation tests but soon I was mainly keyframing the animation and X-Particles became my new particle plug-in of choice. It's a powerful tool and a lot of fun, if you're into that type of thing :) To watch the original film go to: vimeo.com/simonrussell/dysco Find out a bit more about this demo here: http://simonrussell.blogspot.com/2014/04/dysco-live-demo.html You can view the making-of here: vimeo.com/simonrussell/makingof To find out more about Dysco go to: http://simonrussell.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/dysco.html
