LookingOutward_06_Randomness

For this week’s topic, I would like to talk about Julius Horsthuis. He is a fractal artist with a background in special visual effect.

I would like to talk about his short film – Fractal Time.

I am a concept artist and his work inspired me a lot in the direction of combining technical skill with design ideas. He uses abstract geometric shapes to describe some vague and abstract ideas as time and space. I think I can study his work a bit to find a creative way to use basic shapes as my inspiration to do some sci-fi designs.

I think he uses shape, size, depth, color as randomness to generate the final image. I also think he uses perlin noises frequently in his work.

I can see his sense of visual special effect being expressed a lot in his final film. I think he want to use some undefined shapes and even narrative rhythm to express his understanding of time and space.

I would say he is a really innovative artist in terms of film production.
