IC3PEAK
This is a short teaser themed with the music and art of the Russian band IC3PEAK, which I really appreciate. My goal here was to have some fun tinkering with the rendering engine, playing around with new dynamic compositions, and boosting my art skills along the way.
I got inspired by the puppets from their plak-plak music video, so I went ahead and digitally sculpted the heads of the band members. And big thanks to my friend Kardelen Babal for lending me a hand with those facial expressions!
While delving into various new rendering techniques, I had a light bulb moment—I wanted to infuse a touch of analog charm into the rendered footage. That's when the concept of analog motion blur struck me. Instead of settling for the initial render as the ultimate result, I devised a nifty setup: a small rig equipped with a camera securely fastened onto the bass membrane of an audio box.
The camera captured the footage, which I played back on my 4K screen. Harnessing the powerful bass output, which I fine-tuned specifically for this purpose, added a natural shake to the camera—something that's not easily replicated using traditional digital tools. This unique approach injected a dose of organic dynamism into the visuals, elevating the overall aesthetic with a touch of authentic flair.
The following videos showcase the initial setup and the results of my first trial with this technique.
