Imagined Realities: Storytelling in 3D Design

Brief description:

In this course, you’ll choose from a curated selection of 3D artefacts and build an original mythology around your chosen piece. Your goal is to create a still or animated render that conveys the story you’ve created. We will draw from references of mythology, technology, storytelling, religion, photography, painting and fashion to teach how to find inspiration beyond the medium of 3D design. We hope to teach that your ideas are improved by drawing meaning from the world around your practice and help it improve your designs. This course will be taught using Maxon Cinema 4D, some knowledge is required. We invite participants to also bring along a meaningful object of their choice that can be 3D scanned or modelled if proficient.
