CULTURESPORT: ROTTERDAM 1995

The seas are rising. A reclusive engineer has come to town, promising to invent a new system of dikes and dams, using a computer that harnesses the power of dreams. A pair of twins are selected for the study—gabber kids from the local hardcore scene. But as they get sucked deeper into a digital dream world, they realize the inventor's true goal isn't to protect Rotterdam at all. Developed in relative secrecy over the past five years, CULTURESPORT is an animated science fiction web series set inside a sprawling fictional universe—the result of intensive and ongoing collaboration between artists, designers, musicians, actors, dancers, brands, and CULTURESPORT’s in-house creative team.

Quality Time

We all know artificial intelligence is the future, but what happens when you give it a smart phone and unlimited free WiFi? What started as a way to prank my friend by placing him into crowd simulations evolved into a satirical PSA about phone addiction. Created with Houdini, C4D, rendered in Redshift, comped in Fusion, edited in Resolve. All character animation is either simulated or sourced - no hand animation. Track: Eurythmics - Sweat Dreams (Trap Remix by D Jay Koi & RatP)

Albatross Soup

Albatross Soup is a delightfully fluid animation that lyrically complements a chorus of voices attempting to investigate a puzzling suicide: A man gets off a boat. He walks into a restaurant and orders albatross soup. He takes one sip... pulls out a gun, and shoots himself to death. So...why did he kill himself?
