Just in case you were wondering what I’ve been up to lately, here’s a compilation of some of our best digital work. All neatly packaged in a dynamic reel that totally rocks.
When you watch this, keep one thing in mind: All is computer generated imagery, except for people — which were real. At least, most of them were.

A five minute cut down of the Lexus “Dark Ride” project we completed visual effects for at Speedshape has been added to the L Studio website (another project I concepted while freelancing at Team One). While you’re watching, keep in mind that all exterior shots of the vehicle have been tracked and replaced with CG, and all action interior driving sequences were shot with a buck on a green screen stage.

A friend alerted me today that there is a promo for the upcoming Lexus Innovation Website on the Imaginary Forces homepage (where I snaked this video).

Our target was clear on the rational superiority of Lexus, but less so on what defines a strong emotional relationship with the LS. We needed to heighten the emotional feeling for the LS, and create desire rather than just a rational appreciation. And we needed to do that for ultra busy executives who don’t have the time to play around.
The Lexus 2007 LS Launch Site features beautiful intro animation and seamless transition to landing page. Executive tour replete with large and fast-loading CGI video demonstrations and brilliant voiceover of the finer features of the LS. User controlled beauty 360° spin on landing page. Industry response to the sight has been overwhelming, and we won Site Of The Day on theFWA.com.

The outgoing Lexus ES was unable to connect emotionally with consumers. We needed to show that the new ES made a big visual statement of its owner’s success. Upon seeing the car for the first time, consumers described the car as sleek, sharp, and even sexy—words that would never be used to describe the past model. We showcased the new ES as a vehicle designed to appeal as much to one’s heart as to one’s head.
Notable features of this site: Beautiful intro animation and transitions. Video clips of the four senses – Sight, Sound, Touch, and Taste – that can be controlled with your cursor. Dreamy orchestral/spa style soundtrack utilizing musical rollover sounds that turn the user into a composer. An oversized gallery of images that can be initiated from any image on the site. Large flyaround 360′s and CGI demos of product features. Targeted for 1024×768, but resizeable for very large monitors. Industry response has been extremely positive.
