Autumn is slowly fading away in Bariloche, making room for the long Patagonian winter 🍂❄️
Before the colors disappear, I wanted to share this short cinematic piece filmed at Balcón Gutiérrez a beautiful trail connecting Villa Los Coihues and Cerro Catedral in Patagonia, Argentina.
A quiet place filled with wind, forest, and the last golden leaves of the season.

Background motion graphics for Audeo website — built in Melius
The project
Audeo is a product I'm currently designing. I needed distinctive animated background elements — section dividers that add life to the site without pulling attention from the content.
The process
Started with one base gradient — the source of truth for colors and overall vibe.
Then a node that adds a soft frosted glass layer on top.
From there, 4 parallel nodes generating different variations — one for each section of the site. Same DNA, different shapes and flow.
Final layer: very slow ambient motion on each variation. Movement is visible but never distracting from the actual content.
The whole system lives on one canvas — base → glass → variations → motion. Easy to iterate, easy to extend.
On Melius
Melius gives you real control over the process and access to multiple models in one place. I think the possibilities here are basically unlimited. I'll keep building site graphics in Melius going forward.

This video wasn't made for commercial purposes, but since I'm a huge fan of classic movies, one evening I decided to grab my camera and the Hellios 44-4 and head outside to shoot a short clip in the style of the movies I watched as a kid.
And to be honest, I really enjoyed editing this video, because these days everyone tries to edit so quickly that sometimes it’s even hard to figure out what the video is about.
really nice!
