GKaster Shows Frames From Motion Design Animations As Single Works of Art
Pierre Magnol from Gkaster breaks the mold with a new kind of illustration art created using CINEMA 4D. In his exposition he shows that each frame, taken from his motion design animations, could also be an impressive single picture. This exposition is about GKaster's works, how they do it and what influences the them. And in this particular case its also a tribute to the movie, "Blade Runner". On each picture are the last words that the replican pronounces at the end of the film.
