One man's trash is another man's treasure. Amber Cowan curates discarded glass
objects, melts and transforms them into incredibly detailed new and unexpected compositions.

Bradley GMUNK Grosh pioneered the golden age of digital motion design and animation. Transcending the computer world he now creates massive immersive metaphysical experiences with light.

Maud Vantours lives and works in Paris. She went from traditional illustration to using paper as a material to create colourful layered sculptures.

The goal was to make the artistic struggle visible but also fun to watch. What better way to do this than to make the artists temporary sculptures themselves.

We put all three of our artists in slightly whimsical but highly art directed temporary poses that tell their individual stories.

Big lights, camera crane, amazing DoP, fantastic production designer, strong contrasts, rich textures, graphic, balanced compositions.

All the stuff my dreams are made of.

Maze of Mirrors —

We needed a device to graphically connect the three individual stories. The idea was that the mirrors work as reflections of the artist's thoughts, visually fragment, complete or multiply the early stages of the artwork; and over time the reduced amount of mirrors make space for the bigger, completed picture.

Also: Mirrors are really cool to play around with.

We kept it real on this one and used in camera effects instead of digital smoke and mirrors. Since this was about portraying authentic human art creation we wanted to capture man-made imperfections. We captured as much as possible on set and kept digital trickery to a minimum.

tldr: in camera > in computer

For the stop motion shots some old fashioned, light-hearted insanity ensued.
