Core Concept
Process
This project began with visual explorations, crafting styleframes and 3D designs around a simple circle motif, rendered with Redshift for depth and texture. Early on, I focused on bold visual expressions, but the real lesson emerged mid-process: "less is more." Composition and art direction drove the narrative, yet flexibility was key, iterating as the piece evolved taught me that even the cleanest concepts adapt to stay compelling.
Key Takeaway
Technical experimentation: Experimenting with Redshift helps create foggy, mysterious scenes in the RS environment. Blending these basic renders with Photoshop techniques brings everything together.
Camera and Lighting: The right camera angles and lighting are crucial for styleframes, making each scene feel real and unified.
