Role: World Building Used: Paper and Pencil - Mental Canvas - After Effects - Blender - Photoshop

The design above is from a personal project made in 1993. It was to be filmed under a rostrum camera.

Winding stairs - Wendeltreppe

One lonely night in Berlin 1993, for some reason I have several sheets of 15 field panning animation paper in my apartment… I couldn’t sleep and decided to start drawing and see where it would end up.

Shooting on iPhone to show the intended camera move.

Mental Canvas

I was going to make a camera path using Adobe After Effects to make a moving version of my layout, but then came along the Mental Canvas app. It has changed the camera path but opened up such that I could explore my 2d style in a sort of fake 3d. - what’s great is that I can share this file on a webpage and the user can move around in the same scene you are watching on the video.
