CREATIVE

IDEA MAKING

direction & presentation

At the beginning of every project I look for the right words to describe the project's intention. "A picture is worth a thousand words". That's why I share creative ideas especially visually. I illustrate texts with photographs, atmospheric moodboards, preconcepts. I always look for the three basic pillars of a project : the story, its audience and the form of the narrative. I am also no stranger to writing lyrics for scripts and storyboards.

CONCEPT

ART & PROJECT

development

In pre-production we transform ideas into concrete concepts. This sometimes involves a technical approach and systematic research and collection of documents. At other times it is intuitively automatic visual creation. I like both approaches. I combine everything into creative design proposals, environments and characters. Scripts become storyboards. Texts turn into look development and set the direction of the art stylization and atmosphere.

ARTISTIC

visual stylization

surreal / cartoon...

Visual stylization is for me a very distinctive and imaginative way to tell stories. It allows me to create in a slightly different way. What is important I highlight, I caricature. Allegories and parables come to life more easily. We can play with ornaments, historical art movements, classical art tools. We can compose a world out of different materials in 3D or classical animation. You can see some examples of my stylized work in a short thematic showreel below ↓↓↓

PHOTO & FILM

cinematography

creative / technology

I've always really enjoyed photography and capturing fleeting moments and coming up with interesting scenes connected to the story. The time when we worked with classic film material transcribed to digital is gone. But thorough pre-production film preparation is still important to me. I like to work with professionals and film crews in green screen studios and backstage studios, as well as in a combination of real environments and acting.

ENVIRONMENT

set / matte paint

2D / 3D / animated

Designing environments that transport us to other worlds and allow us to travel in time or space is a very exciting visual discipline. I worked for a number of years in the film industry as a matte painter. In 2006, I started working with advanced 3D projection matte painting techniques, which I then used for example as a digital artist at UPP studio. After that I worked for a number of other film and animation studios. I am still involved in environment creation and design, for example in the realization of virtual experiences. You can visit some of the worlds I've created in the themed showreel below ↓↓↓

VFX

visual effects

photo / movie / content

In addition to special effects in the real world (SFX), there is also the world of digital visual effects (VFX), without which many people today can no longer imagine filmmaking. I have mastered 3D and compositing techniques over the years while working on animated clips and film (post)production. For the implementation of these effects I prefer BlackMagic tools such as Fusion and Davinci Resolve. VFX procedures are also applicable to "live photography", short films or interactive multimedia. See how some visual effects from my kitchen look in the short thematic showreel below ↓↓↓

3D GRAPHICS

still & animation

key visuals / models

3D is an amazing creative space that first captivated me in late 2002 when I started using Maxon Cinema 4D. I have always been fascinated by the empty infinity of the 3D program's working environment (viewport) that we can fill with our imaginations and fantasies. A universe offering an infinity of possibilities. At the beginning, I was dedicated to creating 3D environments, to later become a "3D generalist", a person who uses the whole range of 3D tools from polygonal modeling, sculpting, texturing, lighting, animation to simulations and rendering.

MOTION

DESIGN

animation

I never saw motion design as a special field, but rather as an offshoot of classical animation. I sometimes wonder if it's not a specific visual/artistic movement :o) with its own canon and community. Instead of characters and sophisticated models, we're moving fonts, abstract designs, and creating ultra-short animations. We combine animated designs into short stories, compositions or cinematic units, and often carry the purpose of infographics or didactics. Short jingles alternate with animated corporate identities and holographic graphic interfaces illuminate imaginative futurological visions of the future. You can see some examples of my motion design work in the thematic video below ↓↓↓

REAL-TIME 3D

clip / visualisation

interactive design

Real-time 3D Design is an interesting area of multimedia that we will see more and more often, especially on the Internet. Personally, what I like about real-time 3D graphics is the possibility of interactivity and more involvement of the viewer "in the action". In addition to presenting 3D designs of cars, architecture, these can be interesting tools for teaching and sharing interactive stories. This area is already closely adjacent to game design, which I sometimes work on when developing virtual experiences. I am attaching some examples of models optimized for the web ↓↓↓

VR / AR / 360°

film / virtual reality

interactive experiences

I first encountered 360° design in 2001, when I had been interested in VRML virtual tours for a while. A lot of time has passed since then and the development has moved very far. In the meantime, I've had the opportunity to work on several 3D stereoscopic films at ACE studio. An important year for me was 2016-2019, when I worked as Art/Creative Director. As part of Brainz VR / Immersive studio, we realized a number of virtual experiences starting with a theatre play with VOSTO 5, through ŠKODA Heritage, Czech tourism, AR projects to pilot tests of games in virtual reality. Currently I am very interested in the field of interactive design and film. You can see some samples of work in the thematic showreel below ↓↓↓

EVENT DESIGN

art installlations

project development

Connecting the real and multimedia worlds is both a challenge and a unique opportunity to create a unique experience. I plan to focus more on this area in the future. For now, I've had the opportunity to work on designing physical objects and exhibits and digital installations that have been integrated with other experiences such as virtual reality or music production. I enjoy art and design of physical scenes or interfacing with animation, video mapping and graphics because there is the opportunity to play with real environments and influence people at the border of reality and imagination.

CREATIVE DIRECTION

audiovisual content

creative communication

I have experience in creative direction of audiovisual projects in various types of media. Whether it's short animations, films, design or interactive virtual experiences. For creative I look at projects from a broader perspective and context, where we are looking for a way to communicate with the audience. Often it's about creative communication with clients and finding the ideal way to tell a story and message objective. I then often combine all of this into presentations, diagrams. I am now doing this work mainly for IDEA VISUALIZE - creative production and idea making atelier (www.ideaviz.cz ).
