A short experimental piece featuring a blend of Macro Photography and CG Animation.
This project started with an idea by our friend David Parvin at Two Rivers Partnership to shoot abstract forms using macro photography. We loved the concept and together we came up with some great ideas. The footage was shot at Two Rivers Partnership with David Parvin as Director of Photography. Jonathan Lax worked as camera operator and focus puller on the production. We ended up with a plethora of unique and intriguing footage.
The live action material was shot with a Canon 5DMKII and a 100mm Macro lens. All live action material with kind permission of Two Rivers Partnership.
Back at Gecko we experimented with interspersing CG elements with the footage, to construct a narrative from the forms we saw. We decided to create a simple shape in CG, the Gecko Animation logo, out of the living materials we shot on camera.
All CG shots and elements by Gecko Animation Ltd.
