Once Upon an Artist is a documentary series that narrates the experiences of the artists from a philosophical and poetic view. Each chapter is an interpretation of their work from a different approach. We use the tool of visual metaphor to redraw what our artists tell about their work. All during their work’s process.

In Chapter One, the sculptor Rubén Fuentes tells us how hard was to create a 1’5 meter sculpture made of compact quartz. We follow him throughout his inspirational journey.

**************************************************************************
„For a sculptor the material is anything that can be used to generate an object. It may be light, vacuum…
Every idea needs a material and each material is a path with different landscapes.
I start working at 7… until I drop.
Working alone is hard, if you don’t enjoy what you do, you may look for another job
Experience is circular, what you learn at first always comes back, and once you complete the circle, you fill the bag of new techniques.
When an idea is born inside my head, it is in darkness, nobody can see it. Then I transfer it to a paper, I bring it to light, what lets me show it and see other’s reactions.
Materials are the thread where ideas are created.
All materials are noble but some of them give different sensations.
Some colors are chosen for an emotional affinity.
This piece has been designed to be touched.
For me, sculpture today can be a way of communicating, a passion, and my way of life
to create is to live, in an intense way. Maybe we’re all creators… Even unconsciously“

About the Work
WOW has produced a 4K battle movie that personifies 3D animation software, “Max Man & Maya Man.” The special movie in conjunction with the announcement of the release of new versions of 3D animation software packages “Autodesk 3ds Max®” and “Autodesk Maya®.” This film features a battle scene between robots that personify the unique features of each software package, “Max Man” and “Maya Man.” WOW was in charge of planning, character design, and movie creation.

Autodesk’s special site, the 3D model data for the two characters in the film, “Max Man” and “Maya Man” are made available free of charge for use within the software applications. Also, by providing free trial versions of the software packages and an environment that makes it easily accessible, they hope to spark an interest in VFX among new users and the younger generation. They plan to release 3D print data for Max Man and Maya Man, so it will be easy to make 3D prints of the characters.

作品について
3Dアニメーションソフトウェア「Autodesk 3ds Max®」および「Autodesk Maya®」の最新バージョンの発表に合わせ、4Kのスペシャルムービーを制作。各ソフトの特徴を擬人化したロボット「Max Man」と「Maya Man」に見立て、二体のバトルシーンを描いた。WOWは、企画、キャラクターデザイン、ムービー制作を担当。

オートデスクのスペシャルサイトでは、ムービー内で登場する二体のキャラクター「Max Man」と「Maya Man」の3Dモデルデータを無料で提供。同ソフトウェア上でキャラクターを使用した制作体験が可能。また、ソフトウェアの体験版も提供しており、若い世代や新規ユーザーが、よりアクセスしやすい環境、VFXへの興味喚起を狙いとしている。3Dプリント用のデータも公開予定となっており、「Max man」「Maya man」を気軽に3Dプリントすることも可能。

In case those wondering out there, there are slight variations in this version because of last minute decisions I made. Sub Pop and Shabazz both approved this cut, I just didn’t get it to them in time.

Daylight wanes as sky becomes heavy. Isobars compress and warp; cross-sectioned onions on the nightly news. The coast awakens, transformed from the doldrums of summer. Warmth; a flickering memory, like those drawn upon for favourable conditions at half-forgotten spots. The ocean roars, resuming it’s age-old attack on the coastline in a relentless barrage of storm fronts. And so the hunt begins, chasing the nooks hidden from wind and seas. Schedule revolves around brief opportunities, better described as optimistic hunches. A goading carrot dangled, and ever so occasionally within reach.

Winter chasing shapes on the fringes of the North Atlantic. A collections of moments captured along the way. Mar.

In this darkly comedic odyssey, Academy Award nominee Rinko Kikuchi (Babel, Pacific Rim) stars as Kumiko, a frustrated Office Lady whose imagination transcends the confines of her mundane life. Kumiko becomes obsessed with a mysterious, battered VHS tape of a popular film she’s mistaken for a documentary, fixating on a scene where a suitcase of stolen cash is buried in the desolate, frozen landscape of North Dakota. Believing this treasure to be real, she leaves behind Tokyo and her beloved rabbit Bunzo to recover it – and finds herself on a dangerous adventure unlike anything she’s seen in the movies.

A Sunday in East LA. The vibe, the look, the colors.
Those places people call home.
