Material Called Light: A Photon's Journey


This abstract animated motion graphics sequence explores the idea of a single photon traveling in a microscopic world until it becomes a part of a print on glass, made with a unique light based printing technique.







We envisioned an abstract flow filled with gradients and undefined shapes to capture the magic behind the printing process. A vibrant color palette covering nearly all colors served as the initial creative exploration, imagining how light is presented in a unique and captivating way.
