Compositor / Animator / Technical Director
In April, Adam had the pleasure of collaborating with Matvey Rezanov of Skazka Studios to produce the animated backdrops for Kid Cudi's performance at the 2019 Coachella Music and Arts Festival. Rezanov is known for his unique and beautiful watercolor animation style.
It was a tall order. The team had ~12 days to generate and deliver 32,000+ frames of 4K content to the client. Rezanov and two other talented artists generated all the watercolor elements while Adam was tasked with piecing together, programming and timing the animation to be in-sync with the provided music tracks, ensuring the content was rendered and delivered on-time and to the venue's technical specifications.
After a successful delivery for Coachella's opening weekend, The team was hired again to produce similar content for Kid Cudi's performance during the second weekend of Coachella (which featured a guest appearance by Kanye West), requiring Adam to turn around another 16,000 frames of 4K animated content in about 36 hours.
