These images are the result of my creative journey undertaken for a high-profile advertising project.

They delve into the fascinating world of digital cloth and the fluid dynamics.
This project is like a harmonious composition, blending detailed simulations, lively motion, and elegant lighting with a touch of artistic thoughtfulness.

The visuals were brought to life using Cinema4D, rendered in Octane.

I now also integrate AI in my production process, if needed, for my clients, for look development and concepts.

This, combined with my expertise in motion design, allows me to speed up my workflow, come up with fresh ideas, and ensure the highest quality.

My experiments with Octane and C4D

Île Soniq is an important electronic music festival in Montreal and takes place every summer in August at Jean Drapeau Park. The area is transformed into an urban oasis of electronica, dance and hip hop with some of the best artists in the world.

I was approached this year by the organizer to design their new visual identity. While I was given a high degree of creative freedom, some core elements were to be represented in the design: mushroom, nature, and skull._

This lead to making lots and lots of R&D playing with composition, colour palettes, textures, and more.

This was a fun and engaging project with a good balance of creative freedom and direction.

We were approached by McCann to help them revamp the Lotto Max Draw. The brief was to craft 3 distinct, sophisticated and playful universes,

This is exactly what we created.

As intriguing as each of the universes were, what was most important was the method in which we finally revealed the winning number. We did so in many different, exciting and impactful ways.

Because we used a procedural approach we were able to easily change the number on the winning ball, affording us, the agency and the client a lot of flexibility. In fact, what we built and provided were 3 films set up as toolkits, capable of being freely modified at any point.
