BMW Motion and NIVEA MOTION

This project is divided in two seperate projects I was part of during my time at Storz und Escherich.

I. BMW – The Art Of BMW Individual

In 2017 I attended an internship position at STORZ UND ESCHERICH. While I worked on several projects, the BMW and NIVEA one stood out immensly for me – I never was part of a „movie“-shoot, and seeing the finalized product in the end was amazing.

BMW wanted to create a movie about their interior individualization programm called „The Art Of BMW Individual“. It’s a way for customers to personalize their veryown BMW with high-end materials and special leather seats, for example. The movie SUE had to made set out to capture this essence of pure individuality and rare materials. The shot you can see above was supposed to represent the dark bamboo interior, visualized by a wonderful mandala of intersecting forms. The material we put on the geometry in the end was based on a photoscan of the real bamboo.

II. NIVEA Motion Capture

Nivea wanted to fill a 3d stadium with a big crowd of people for their upcoming advertisement. To animate the huge crowd of over 30.000 people we used a motion capture suit – and I got to work! Jumping, screaming and clapping – all of those moves were then load into 3DsMax and on a Biped. It worked very smooth and the end result is very impressive!

These projects were realised at Storz und Escherich, 2017
