Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman
When visual effects production for this hit Discovery Science series got behind schedule inMotion was called to work a minor miracle. We completed 28 shots in 2 weeks for 2 episodes titled 'How Did We Get Here' and 'Is Time Travel Possible'. With shots ranging from primeval Earth to microscopic organisms it was a challenge that inMotion came through on. Click here to view.
Billy Joel chooses inMotion
inMotion studios is proud to have been selected to design a theatrical logo for Billy Joel's Maritime Pictures. We chose a theme very close to Billy's heart which was something of a risk. The ship seen in the logo is a digital replica of the Alexa, a ship which Billy designed and named after his daughter. We created a custom 2 stage rendering workflow to add a sketch/paining look to the digital model. Click here to view.
