Heraldic Mark in Motion

Trotting unicorns · strobe · scale + colour play · BIG, LOUD, GRAPHIC

15 seconds of the heraldic mark, animated. The two unicorns trotting and circling like the venn discs, while scale, strobe and colour pulse around them. Gaspar Noé territory. Clean, structured psychedelia in the register of Gesaffelstein and Justice. No screensaver wiggle. Simple but not simple.

01.b / INTRO CONCEPT

Horses Doing What the Discs Do

3D heraldic mark · venn-disc motion · structural psychedelia
HERALDIC MARK
+
VENN MOTION

The two heraldic unicorns rebuilt as a 3D model, animated to overlap and circle each other in the same motion as the venn discs. Trotting in place at first, then drifting into the venn position, then strobing apart. Big, structured, repeatable. The intro becomes a signature.

3D MODEL · NOTCH / C4D · 15s ARC
02 / ELEVATED PARTICLES · 3 × 5s

Particle Studies

Three short loops in the elevated-particles language

Three short studies in the elevated-particles direction. Study A: void ocean, fine particles, solid black forms drifting through luminous dust. Study B: coalescence, pinpoint stars gathering to recognizable form. Study C: architectural drift, scale and density at venue size. Three 5-second loops, then we rock from there.

NOTCH + HOUDINI · 3 × 5s · LOOPABLE
04 / PHOTO-REAL · EXPERIMENT A

Scenic Fantasy

Five Past Three register · meteoric light · Turrell-adjacent

Photo-real used sparingly, as scenic fantasy. Light beams, weathered atmospheres, distant horizons. The image grounds the show without ever announcing itself as a render.

UNREAL + AI PLATE WORK · 12-15s LOOP · PRORES
05 / PHOTO-REAL · EXPERIMENT B

Weather & Monolith

Atmospheric build · slow camera · monolithic forms

Sister to Scenic Fantasy. Atmosphere does the work. A monolith arrives slowly, weather pulls across the frame. Built for the build, not the drop.

UNREAL + POST · 15s LOOP · PRORES 4444
06 / GRADIENT · ATMOSPHERE

Echo

Feminine atmospheric · soft halation · drift

A breathing gradient. Lavenders, dusty corals, warm graphite. Frame is mostly negative space, with a single luminous form at center. Slow drift, no jitter.

NOTCH + AE · SEAMLESS LOOP · 12s
07 / GRADIENT · TEXTURE

Riso Halo

Risograph halation · grain · pop accent on monochrome

For moments where the show needs colour without breaking the language. A single saturated halo on a black field, with chromatic noise and grain. Earns its pop honestly.

TOUCHDESIGNER · SEAMLESS LOOP · 8s
