Clemmer on his L'Oreal Pitch:
“I
had the chance of designing a pitch for L'Oreal when I was working for the
Spatial Harmonics Group. The director's wish was for a hybrid between fluid,
fabric and gas, a spectacular piece of fluid animation. I created this gasesous
fluid fabric with 3d Studio Max, FumeFX and Krakatoa, compositing in
AfterEffects. This is what I came up with and apparently I nailed it on the
spot :)”
