Design Details

Unique Properties
Video made to present a new start up- the device for children studying at schools. The goal is to show how usefull it can be, and model few examples covering it's main features. BioStu is a helper for children studying earth sciences. It allows children to see plants growing, insetcts, nature processes like water tornado and biosynthesis, and much more. Children can make videos and timelapses, control the light intensy, check the parameters like temperature and so on.
Inspiration
Based on the purpose, I wanted this video to be calm and mild. With a very suddle feel of mystery, as I think studying means a journey and discovery. Keeping in mind this device should help in searching earth science, I included related elements to each scene: plants, rocks etc. The original version for my client also included female VO, but to me it works better with just music, so this is what I keep for my portfolio.
Realization and Technology
Maxon Cinema4D, XParticles (rendered with Redshift), Quixel Megascans, Adobe AfterEffects, Adobe Premiere.
Operation and Interaction
The purpose of this video is to show how BioStu device can be used. Each scene is a separate feature, and I tryed to achive smooth transition from one to other, to make viewer feel we're talking about same thing all the time and keep the line. I wanted all scenes to look alive, so they all include elements corresponding to that. The light setup was also important for this, I used GI everywhere to achieve soft shadows which looks more natural. It's not hard to achieve technically, but way longer to calculate. Anyway this is what we needed for this purpose.
