Speaker Intro for GIORGIA LUPI @giorgialupi
Theme: Computer generated graphics
A few minimalistic takes on what a graphic designer could use Cavalry for.
The artist Ksawery Kirklewski has his own, code based take on this topic and we got permission to use a couple of his tools for the project. The first one is Cellular Automata that creates beautiful, flowing patterns.
Managed to cram another cool tool of his, Pixelator, into the credits scene.

Here are some extra cuts from the Proteomics project I got to do with @madebyfern
1. The first scene illustrates high performance in a scientific, biotech world. I used @cavalry.app for the whole process from concept to design to animation.
2. Early animation sketch for the animatic
3. Masking system
4. BTS of @pepkomotion invaluable benKo script for creating a flexible grid in @cavalry.app
5. Still
6. Animated textures for the 3D cube
7. This section was designed by @wavin_u and animated by me in Cavalry and After Effects.

Finally able to share this project that I got to work on with a killer team at @madebyfern early this year.
A fun one, jumping between the software that fit best to the task at hand.
The waves are animated in @cavalry.app and the 3D box in Cinema 4D. The rest is After Effects, of course.

I had the privilege of being the lead animator on this huge project with the lovely people @madebyfern, delivering one Manifesto video along with 4 explainers. With a great amount of textures, noise, grain, low frame rates and hand held keyframes, we wanted to make sure the human touch was unmistakable.
This is one of the 5 videos we created for the client.

I had the chance to work with a stellar team at BUCK Amsterdam on this video for Google Deepmind.
AI is being used to create better weather forecasts by analyzing past weather data to find patterns that can be used to predict future weather. This could help people prepare for extreme weather events, grow better crops, and make better decisions about their daily lives.

Is mezcal extracted from cacti that contain mescaline? That would make it a psychedelic substance, wouldn’t it? Why is it almost only produced in Oaxaca? And where does the smoky flavour come from? Also - what’s with the worm at the bottom of the bottle!?
I set out to investigate all these questions in this short piece.

Some people asked how I created the last post with “Faux variable type” in After Effects so I’ve created a project file with some basic examples.
The primary idea is that with AE 2025 you can access per-character styles with expressions.
