Not long after submitting for this I printed a version onto canvas - duplicates are available below from Artflakes or by emailing me directly.

I was using it as a test to see how I could link audio to layers in After Effects - this was all keyframed manually for accuracy. The illustration is based on this poster by Gianni Rossi.

I'd quite like to continue this as a series as a set of screenprints to be made available.

Initially the animation was intended as a narrative based piece, with a character discovering he can play music and learning to play music with others, though during the process of linking the sound to visual elements, I realised that I had constructed the beginnings of what could easily be a simple interactive music sequencer that could be picked up by children with relative ease. Referencing synaesthesia as an inspiration, I linked up each musical note (A through to G#) to a colour, and then each different sound to a shape - allowing the music to be 'seen' as it is being played much easier than a conventional sequencer.

Using the grid layout and a few elements from Tasty Visuals I looked at a kind of parallax styling for the scenes. Initially I started with a palette of browns and a nice serif font intended to give it a traditional feel - then adding some sharper more geometrical elements of brighter colours to contrast this. Whilst I quite liked this look, the client felt it wasn't on brand enough - I then had to incorporate the Proximity colours and then elements from the logo - replacing the triangles with circles.

The outcome is a mesmerising mix of shapes and colours that bounce, grow and appear in time to elements within the music. The set so far consists of 8 compositions that is made of up 8 layers, with each layer having it’s own 4 clips. Every clips can be mixed with another to create new compositions on the fly; and because of the way they’ve been constructed, can also be retimed to sync with various BPMs whilst playing. My next steps include recreating all of the visuals in 3D and using a game engine to perform them with. Having seen the power of the Unity engine, I’d like to try and build something that can respond to multiple inputs (MIDI / OSC) all in realtime...

They highlight the different roles that AMV plays in certain campaigns - either Centralised, Lead or Local. Depending on what the campaign is, a different animation would be shown. Centralised: Where AMV takes the lead on global copy and strategy as well as taking full responsibility for all adaptation and supply to local markets. Lead: Where AMV is responsible for the global strategy which is then implemented by the local agencies. Local: Where AMV is responsible for UK copy and strategy only, however local agencies have then decided to adopt our strategy/creative for their own market.

The style was based around the isometric scenes produced for ‘Tasty Visuals’ - though this time creating all the elements in 3D; the objects being loosely based around things in and around the LAB. The idea was to step away from the rigid, technical branding of the LAB previously, which relied heavily on a periodic table theme.

Featuring bright colours, intriguing shapes, slick animations and a varied mix of sounds to appease the eyes and ears. The logos were all designed in Illustrator before taking the individual parts into After Effects. Each shape was then animated individually to build up a total of 10 compositions. The sound design was the final part, and was crafted in Ableton. Credits // Luiza Cruz-Flade // Post-Producer See More // Bēhance Project Flickr Set Links // AMV BBDO AMV LAB
