IAN M WILMOTH

I make video art with MAYA and AFTER EFFECTS. These selected projects are intended for large scale projection. NO AI is used on these projects.

BASIC LINES DARK ANGLE2

ROLE: MAYA 3d modeling, Look Development, Animation, VFX. AFTER EFFECTS Compositing, Post

NOTE: In 2025 have finally returned aesthetically to where I started as an artist, scribbled lines. However, the process is much more complicated than using a pencil or even prompting an AI for that matter. You would have to know what you are doing with MAYA and AFTER EFFECTS to re-create this. NO AI WAS USED. Sound collage by newmetaphysics.com
