A fun quickie project we did over the course of 3 weeks. Animation was done to a large degree by capturing the movement of analog sticks on a Xbox controller and applying it onto the bins with a bit of keyframe animation afterwards. Get up and shake the garbage.

For David Cerny’s London Booster sculpture, we prepared a 5 minute long animation of fluid that is playing in the windows of the bus. In the beginning, it has the form of the painting by Frantisek Kupka, “Dvoubarevna fuga”, but soon melts into a mix of blue and red that sometimes tends to resemble the Union Jack. The most important part was matching the movements of the hydraulic system with the liquid simulation, making the inside of the bus look like a liquid tank. The London Booster will be in operation from 9:00 – 21:00 every day during the London 2012 Olympics in front of the Czech House, 52 Upper Street in Islington, London, but for those unable to see it live we have a short video demonstrating our part of the work.
