grandfathers icaro - video & insight (Patreon)

hey ! first of all thank you for your support 🙏here is my first version of grandfather's icaro.https://youtu.be/MdUZMGX2_FM (update2)I spent so many hours on this already and I wanted to share this first version with you. I am still working on details of the soundtrack and final video composition. the setup of scene looks simple but this also makes it super powerful. there are so many parameters and effects working together that make this audio-visual artwork special. I tried to keep it reduced, clean and focused on the essence of this feeling that is transported. the video is inspired by an Ayahuasca experience.attached you find a few screenshots from my process. the 3d scene is built with 3dsMax. the main element is an expanding and repeating torus. each torus is a particle with an animation that starts with its birth. compositing of the final mix is done with Magix Vegas. the basic icaro texture was built with illustrator and is a vector graphic that I reconstructed based on photographs of fabrics by the Shipibo-Conibo people. The Shipibo-Conibo people are from the Uycali river region of Peru. They have powerful healing practices, including working with Ayahuasca. Their practices have helped many all over the world, and continue to do so.if you like the soundtrack (which is remix) please check out the album Icaro by Maneesh de Moor. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kyJPWSIGqvYUF7ZfXzLK5y4hTIhe6lLaI
