Trapcode has commissioned ‘Exodus,’ an animated short film to director/designer Magnus Östergren at Potemkin. The film uses Trapcode Suite with a focus on Trapcode Mir.
Mir, a plug-in for Adobe After Effects, provides the artist with a polygon mesh that can be displaced with a fractal and shaded in a number of different ways. Mir uses OpenGL so it give very fast feedback allowing you to play around and experiment, while getting instant results. You can download a trial HERE and start playing.
Magic Bullet Looks was also used for Color Correction, some look processing and film grain.
Östergren says “The film is set in space in an alternate universe. Logic and photo-realism are low priority but cool scenery and glows rule supreme”. Magnus, who also creates the soundtrack for the film, continues “I like the concept of ‘art by accident’, just letting stuff evolve, like in my music production. In Trapcode Mir I found a great tool for this method.”
