ABOUT THE PROJECT

Bloom  is a vignette about life and beauty in memory of Jenny Considine-Mueller. It's the result of a collaboration between artists from different backgrounds and skills, coming together to create a 3D animation with the purpose of personal expression.

​

It started in September 2015 when Josh Clos (FX simulations and dynamics) and Romain Faure (modeling, lighting, rendering and compositing) decided to work on a personal project with the intent of further exploring their abilities without restrictions. As soon as the idea became a goal, I was called to join in the role of Concept Designer and Art Director.  Being the first project outside of my fulltime job that involved other talents, I was extremely excited to jump on board. 

​

After agreeing with the team on a theme and a subject, I started creating mood boards and styleframes that would be the guidelines of the piece.

The idea was to illustrate a plant breaking through concrete as a symbol of beauty overcoming hostility.

Styleframes for Bloom

​

Moving into production the load of work was massive. The project included many challenges, both creative and technical. The choice of setting the scene in a dark, detail-less enviroment made it so lighting and composition had to be carefully planned;  and the amount of fluid simulations and all-over FX made the project heavy to deal with.

Fortunately I was working with amazing artists that took every challenge and turned it into a learning experience and ultimately into what this project is today. Without their hard work, this piece would be the ultimate concept confined to my imagination.

​

Alec Considine-Mueller brought our visuals to life by writing and producing all the Sound Design which included a personally meaningful passage from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran.
