The master of electro-psychedelia, GMUNK, reached out for some hologram designs as part of his OFFF Barcelona title sequence. He asked that I create a design to visualize a figure at the center of the universe, her consciousness acting as a vessel for charting the stars. Once completed, my hologram animations were composited into the final film by the visual effects masters at Psyop Berlin.
 

As described by GMUNK, the Human Dream Field was the only flashback in the film, and was used to represent the Vi’s motives in their harvesting of human dreams to fuel their algorithms to predict the future. It was also an opportunity to define the Vi’s ultimate goal in harvesting Decima’s soul and it’s purpose, to bring life to their newest creation, the Rune, the Oracle created for their own salvation.

I started the design process by sketching various arrays of graphics surrounding a hovering figure. I then built out the hologram using Cinema4D and x-particles. The final frames were rendered using octane and output as EXR sequences for Psyop Berlin to composite.
