Version2 ceated a fantastic animated opening title reminiscent of surreal artists Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte, as well as event installations and DVD packaging for the 2007 AICP show held June 5th at the MoMA, NYC. ‘The environments were primarily digital matte paintings, created in Photoshop and then imported into Autodesk Inferno … The 3D was created in both Cinema 4D and Maya and combined with numerous 2D After Effects elements. To create depth on the foreground objects, everything was projected in Inferno onto 3D geometry.’
