Inlight Richmond: Luminous Deception

THE PROCESS:

This project was created for the Inlight Richmond Art Show in Richmond, VA. The location was right off the river going through the city. I chose to go with the archway. This was a prime location. I saw this as a chance to give the audience a visual representation of walking into the rest of the show and allowing them to get immersed into the show. I wanted it to have the look of reality but then transform into something else.

‍

After taking reference photos at the location, I started the design process. For the photo real animations I used Houdini for modeling, texturing, lighting, animations, and particle effects. 2D animations were created in After Effects. The animations were mapped using MadMapper.
