BMW i3 - CAR BALLET

BMW i3 - Car Ballet
FRANKFURT MOTOR SHOW IAA

For Germanys massive motor show in Frankfurt, ARRI Media, lead media production company Rekorder and Wolf Productions collaborated with lead agency Meiré to develop an immersive show experience. I was offered the opportunity to work with the amazing team of artists at ARRI Media as freelance Motion Designer to create animated content for BMWThis portfolio piece shows an excerpt of the IAA show: the BMW i3 presentation. The whole car ballet sequence underwent dramatic changes and was handled by my talented colleagues and lead artists Daniela Hermann and Felix Deimann. I did some early 3D setups and concept frames for the sequence before coming in later on, doing animation clean up, rendering and compositing. 

STILLS

Stills from the final animation produced in 9k for the almost 50 meters of curved screens. Animated in Cinema 4D, rendered with Octane and composed in After Effects.

MAKING OF

Various renders, quick previews and work in progress.

STYLEFRAMES

During the early stages of developement, when the concept was still rather futuristic, I got the chance to do some look dev and architectural explorations for the full cg location.

PITCH FRAMES

Prior to being awarded the IAA project, I got to work with the talented teams at ARRI Media and Rekorder on several occasions to produce pitch frames that helped to win over the client and get the account.
