RABANNE KINETIC WALL
When Paco Rabanne relaunched as simply "Rabanne," a kinetic wall featuring their new single "R" logo was a centerpiece of the campaign.
Conex was tasked with building the wall, and I was responsible for animating it. When we received the wall from our supplier in China, it arrived without any instructions. I first had to figure out how to program the wall, then I designed the animation for the logo reveal.
HOW I MADED IT
I developed a system for generating highly specialized color gradients to control the motors in the kinetic wall..
I also needed a way to quickly produce mockups for client review, something fast and visual to speed up approvals in uncharted territory. I built a programmable mockup tool in Blender using Geometry Nodes.
WHAT I LEARNED
While I may never need these precise skills again, the problem-solving process was invaluable to my professional growth.
