RORSCHACH
“Fascinated by the shapes of the so-called RORSCHACH “inkblot” tests,
I felt the need to animate these symmetrical structures.
I wanted to bring them to life. And – most of all – into the three-dimensional space.”
“Since the shapes are not perfectly symmetrical, I looked for a way to mirror my structures early on in the process and created the fine details on top.
I liked the play with the materiality. The inkblots in these tests have very soft and flowing shapes. Contrary to that, I wanted to design the surface materiality of my objects in a very hard and stony way. The movement of the object though should still be morphing and flowing.
A very nice aspect and a parallel to abstract art in general is the fact that everyone reads something different from these forms or focuses on a different detail.”

Porsche Sportscar Together Day identity by Roma Erohnovich
Russian team of designers lead by art director Roma Erohnovich shared their latest case - visual identity for Porsche Sportscar Together Day that happened in Moscow.
“Today, the very word "Porsche" is pretty much a synonym for motorsport. It is a special ideology and a distinctive unique approach to design. 70 years ago, Ferdinand Porsche, a designer himself, laid the foundation for the brand's DNA and expressed the brand's core values. On June 8, 1948, Porsche 356 "No. 1" Roadster kicked up the road dust for the first time.”
“Porsche Sportscar Together Day is an international festival and a tribute to a significant event — the launch date of the very first Porsche car. It was held in Russia in September 2019. At the Moscow Raceway, Porsche enthusiasts opened the racing season, witnessed the premiere of the new 911 and Cayenne Coupé, celebrated the 5th anniversary of the Porsche Experience Center, soaked up the sports atmosphere and spirit, and marked the road with their brake tracks.”
“The main challenge of this project was, first and foremost, to work on the brand’s field, combining different branches of visual communication of Cayenne Coupé, 911, Sportscar Together Day, and Porshe Motorsport. Using a minimal amount of graphic tools, we created the identity for the festival, POSM design, staff uniforms, interior and exterior design of the location, and cars.”
“As a starting point, we used the cult of sports aesthetics and notable design techniques that have already become somewhat of a fetish in the Motorsport fans world. We thought, what if we designed a badge, a track map, a garage box, and staff hoodies as if we were creating a sports car wrap? That is why all the materials have a single principle in their core. It is fully revealed in the key visual where the new Cayenne Coupé is wrapped in the signature graphics of a festival just like a race car would be.”

PYRAMID
“Pyramids are the ancient monuments where people worshiped their gods. My concept is re-interpreting the pyramid in modern society where individualism is appreciated. The concept of the god has been changed and considering oneself as a god has become trendy. People can experience spiritual meditation through climbing up to the top of each stair way. On each top, there are the lights on the floor and ceiling which represents their own Sun (the concept of ancient god). Maybe people can feel themselves directly connected to indescribable power. About the installation movement, each stair way is connected with each ring ground and spins by some interacting way with the audiences. By the spin, it eventually shows the extended form of cone or pyramid”

U-Utopia
A journey through an imaginary Mausoleum in Chandigarh, Le Corbusier’s modernist city in Northern India
Utopia is a short film using a cross section view. This perspective is used exclusively as we follow the characters enigmatic journey as they navigate the complex concrete structure looking for the tomb at its core. As they navigate the structure we see and hear glimpses of the changing environment as the building reveals itself.
Inspired by architectural perspective illustrations first developed in the renaissance period and still used in the present day - the cross section drawing of the Barbican by Chamberlin Powell and Bon is a fine example - The film adds the dimension time being compressed as we travel through the scene. The building was designed in collaboration with an architect to create a functional structure and incorporating the letter form of the ‘U’ in the final frame.

Researcher: Prologue / Sci-Fi Short Film by Vladislav Solovjov
Russian motion CG artist Vladislav Solovjov (CG Generalist at Ruroc Ltd) shares his long-waited project “Researcher: Prologue”, here is what he says about the film:
“It's the first part of my sci-fi short film I've been working on since 2015. For more than 4 years I created different ideas and concepts until I found the best technical way to bring my story to life. The most difficult part of this project was the animation. It's the first time ever when I was animating a character. I'm glad I had this amazing experience. And I'll try to improve what I've done in the next part of this short film. This full CG project is split into three logical parts and I will be releasing each of them separately.”

Contemplate by Slava Thisset
Slava Semenuta known as Thisset shares his latest work Contemplate and the words about it:
“This video tells a simple story of any thinking person who is looking for meaning of existence.
A person who is both suffering and enjoying life.
I showed this story in a peculiar way and with my own vision of the world.
In this short music film, there is a share of madness and surrealism.
I wrote an abstract script and was the director of this video and I also drew fonts to decorate the video.
The font is designed in a style that imitates plants and smoke to enhance the surrealistic atmosphere.”
