Andy Kramer is a digital artist, most famous for his work on Star Trek’s ending credits. His work has a attractive space aesthetic which I feel inspires my work, I specifically like the way the scene is layered up especially with the planets – the way in which the asteroids seem to stand out against the planet and the dust is very attractive and is something I would like to incorporate into my own work. I could see myself using similar conventions when shallow focus’ are being used with the ring of spheres, this would help to add to the visual element of the animation as the audience would be able to get a better understand on the space or distance between the spheres and the cube. Additionally, I was fully surprised to find out that the ending of the film and the credits were created within Adobe After Effects – I didn’t associate After Effects as a powerful 3D software tool, but after some further research I discovered that Andy has developed some plug-in for AE that enable it to do so (and also with a bit of perspective trickery).
