2021

I was invited by Thiscover_ to animate in augmented reality the Blade Runner's soundtrack cover.

Thiscover_ invited me to choose a Vinyl cover and work to its AR animation.
They connected me with Amplitudo Sound Agency for the sound design.

I choosen one of my favorite soundtrack, from one of my favorite movie ever, Blade Runner.
I taken a lot of fun from this project!

Music by Vangelis, originally illustrated by John Alvin.

Install Aria Platform for iOS and Android to frame this and other vinyl covers, and blink your eyes!

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

I was totally free to play the original artwork by John Alvin how I felt, so I put in this animation all the passion for this cover, and for the movie.

So I mixed a lot of tools and techniques:

Adobe Photoshop with a Wacom One tablet for the illustrations,

Adobe AnimateCC for the traditional frame by frame animation,

Adobe After Effects for a lot of compositing.

Tools and techniques

I mixed a lot of tools and techniques:
Photoshop and Illustrator with a Wacom One tablet, to design and illustrate.

After Effects and Limber plugin for the character animation and compositing.

Animate CC for frame by frame vfx and the "run" cut. I used a reference for the run cycle.

Cinema 4D to model and move the 3D backgrounds.

Design

I got a huge creativity control in design and direction.
I chosen a very saturated palette, and I started to develop the main characters.

(surprisingly) the client requested very few changes for this project...

The illustration crafted in Adobe Photoshop needed a extra touch to enter in the world of the movie.

So I added an abstracted ledwall effects.

One of the few requests made by the client was to touch up the skin color of the Caucasian players: the fuchsia was too strong!
