Molten Metallic MTV Video Awards
MEDELLÍN, Colombia and LOS ANGELES – November 12, 2017 – The molten metallic look of the 2017 MTV Video Awards got a boost of adrenaline from this year’s top-notch team of 3D designers including Raoul Marks and Medellin native Alejandro Robledo Mejia.
Design Director Duncan Elms, of LA-based studio Elastic, describes his collaborative vision: “In a year that celebrates the original launch of MTV and it's iconic Moonman, we take the viewer on a journey into a psychedelic liquid landscape that fetishizes and exalts the iconic trophy and imagery.”
“I really enjoyed setting up all the 3D renders in Octane, working on the nomination packages, and making sure the psychedelic color synchronized with the pop look of the show,” says 3D Animation artist Alejandro Robledo Mejia. “My contributions focused on camera angles, final board development, and nailing down the setup of scenes for final animation.”
Other contributing artists to the video included: Thomas McMahan, Viraj, Duncan. Link to entire team (Danny, Kate)
