OVERLAID
VISUAL STUDY | FALL 2021
Instructor: Rachael McCall | Partner: Lexin Liu | Software: Zbrush, Cinema 4D, Octane
It seems everything we do at the moment is overlaid, filtered, and masked - once, twice, or in many ways. Formally and texturally, “overlaid” elicits thoughts of many layers of fine detailed mesh, multi-layered semi-opaque synthetic materials, murky reflections, and bundles of particles.
This project focuses on post-production and composing: imbuing, concealing, and revealing new layers and visual narrative in the work. The work oscillates between 2D and 3D worlds—the virtual, augmented, and real. As much as post-production and overlaying are processes of refinement, there are always opportunities for filtering for percolation, overflow, and escape in the project.
