Giant production for the Shanghai Autosalon 2013 Trade fair. The 3D animation was synced to a dance performance on the center stage of the Volkswagen booth.

Unfortunately no final video on this one, but you can find out more about the project here.

Apparat Hamburg joined forces with me to do the post work on this vfx intensive spot. The video originally served as a backwall projection on Volkswagen stand at the Autosalon 2012 trade fair in Geneva.

The 2011 BMW Geneva Motorshow Stand was all about their new ConnectedDrive technology. Mutabor Design was in charge of the whole presentation and asked me to be part of their animation team for the media wall.

As always with trade fair stands made by Mutabor the wall had a special catch: When opened the BMW Vision ConnectedDrive prototype was actually attached to the wall and would guide the viewer through the different aspects of the technology.

To get an impression of the wall in action visit the project page at Mutabor or check out the coplete version here.

On this project Mutabor invited me to help them animate the visuals that would serve as the backdrop of the Audi A1 booth at the 2010 Automobilsalon trade fair in Geneva. Three real models of the Audi A1 where placed within the gigantic highlight wall. The visuals would then optically extend the boxes containing the cars and give a false perspective of them floating in space.
I was responsible for 3D animation and rendering, whereas Mitra Navab-Pour and Mutabor’s Alexander Hanowski did the 2D Motion Design and Compositing. Additional renderings of the A1 have been done by Carl Dixon. The sound design was done by Bauhouse.

I was asked by Mutabor Design GmbH to help them with the 3D execution of this lush self promotional film to go along with the relaunch of their homepage.

Apart from the intro, the objective was to create three distinct worlds that represent the spirit of the divisions white, black and the newly installed silver.

Be sure to check out more of their projects on their site.

To show off the superior safety standards of the Nissan Tilda Sehsucht asked me to help them on the challenging task to give the rough streets of Buenos Aires a soft padding.

The job involved a lot of 3D tracking, Cinema 4D Hair and a big bag of tricks from the compositing guys. From my part I was mainly concerned with the hairy wall and some of the wool roads.
Now wrap yourself in your favorite blanket and enjoy.

This neuronal network was developed for the Volkswagen Olympics 2008 in China. The whole spot can be seen at the Optix Digital project page.
