I was contacted by Chancho Visual Studio to help them out with three videos to promote the twentieth year of the Cosquín Rock festival. With a very tight deadline and a lot of hard work by all of us who participated we managed to finish in time without sacrificing the quality of our work. I was incharge of the first parts of all three videos, all fully CG, everything previous to when the camera goes into the microscopic world. This latter part was done by 3D artist Jorge Paparas.

Due to the time constraints the 3D hero assests were bought. I did however model some of the extra elements in the scene, and reworked on the shaders and textures af all the assets. I arranged the objects, animated the camera, iluminated, worked on the fog and the render. I then made a preliminary comp of all the passes including depth of field and handed it over to Chacho Visual Studio who gave the finishing touches to the pieces. All the work I did was of course under the direction of Chancho Visual Studios awsome creative team.

Below are some images that represent the work behind the project. It was part of the constant back and forth that we had with Chancho Visual Studio team.

One of the hardest challenges we faced was maintaing the quality of the textures in this constant zoom-in situation. Below are some explorations done in zbrush of the macro on the guitar string. This method was found not to be practical due to time constraints and was discarded.
