CELLULAR MANIFEST
VR Experience
Shmody was contracted by All of it Now to help art direct and produce a series of 10 VR experiences for the Meta Quest. The series, dubbed Growth in Motion, featured a range of Audio/Visual styles that all tied into the greater concept of universal expansion. Of the 10 pieces, we were responsible for producing all 10 pieces of audio and 1 visual piece: Cellular Manifest.
While most of the series explored outward expansion, Cellular Manifest delved inward, focusing on microscopic growth and decay. To help with the initial growth patterns, Shmody brought on experimental video artist Clayton McCracken. A dozen or so black and white kinetic patterns we layered, strung together, and processed in Notch and Adobe. The final result was an immersive molecular voyage; 3 minutes of abstract graphics representative of life in its most simple forms.
