Projects in Crans-MontanaProjects in Crans-MontanaFluid, Two Palettes
A motion design study built on a single idea: soft, shapeless forms drifting and swelling around a bold white FLUID set at the centre of the frame.
The challenge was to let colour define the character of the piece while the animation stayed identical. Same forms, same timing, same type.
The red version is built on contrast. Flat saturated shapes on pure black, the soft falloff doing all the shading, the type sitting hard against it like a poster. The purple version works in gradients. Violet cooling to the edges, magenta where the forms catch light, the blacks lifted into plum so the whole frame breathes softer. One is graphic, the other atmospheric.

A motion design study built around a single shot: a slow five second push in on a cratered planet, small moons in orbit, a glowing core swelling at its centre.
The challenge was to make one move carry two completely different moods without touching the animation. Same camera, same timing, same composition.
The grade does all the work. The blue version pushes the blacks toward indigo, lights the rims in violet and lets a cyan core bloom out of the dark. The red version turns the rock olive and grey, sets the core burning red with a green haze moving across it, and softens the highlights so the texture reads harder. One feels distant and cold, the other close and volatile.
