ARTIFICIAL PARADISE INC: JEAN PAUL FRENAY
Belgian director and visual artist Jean Paul Frenay teams with friends in the CG department at Condor’s Brussels facility for this experimental narrative, “anticipating a future where a major corporation has developed a unique software, based on organic virtual reality, which holds all the lost memories of humankind.”
“the main challenge was to achieve the subtle mix of the organic and the mechanic, which was really important to me. Real Flow and Zbrush helped us a lot getting the right look for the organic parts while the rest was mainly done in Maya and finalized in After Effects.
“I didn’t really have a production schedule. Everybody worked on the project for free so we had to do it in our spare time. I was very pleased that condor accepted to help me on this one. This project was mainly created to have fun with friends, to escape from my commercial work and to push the limits a bit further.”
