We love our community and want hear more from you! So we decided to open up a little and give you more community content. We call it "An Artists Perspective".
In this series we share insights of the artists behind the works and feature some exclusive previews, not yet released. Also feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
Here are some insights from our Artist who created "Family Affair". We hope you enjoy :)
"With this story i aimed for two things: First, I wanted to create a story that is reminiscent of European art movies. I love the social context and conflicts that are featured in these family dramas. Including sexual tensions, especially in French and Spanish Cinema."
"Second: I was ready for a family vacation. I wanted to create scenes of family intimacy, of a warm and loving environment."
"Not having a family of my own, i immersed myself in the subtle day to day scenes of family life. My parents got divorced when i was young and i was living on my own with my mother after that. So i also used the story to reflect on some of the sexual tension that was building between us two back in the days"
"To cuddle up as a family. Warm loving affection without bounds. That was the inspiration for the first big scene. I felt i wanted to portrait a skin to skin body feel i remember from my mother that used to sleep naked. To include the father figure was just elevating the intimacy for me here. On the technical side, it is always hard to light night scenes. So i decided to use a strong ray of light coming from the blinds to make the look of the scene more interesting. One of the hardest things in these scenes is to handle the blankets and pillows that need to collide naturally with the characters. There are different technologies and assets out there, but i really wanted to morph the bed and bedcloth realistically to emphasize the warmth and closeness. So i used morphing pillows and physics simulation here."
"The central conflict of Family Affair will be revealed in the next part. It grew from community feedback and i think many of the fans will like it. I dont want to say too much, but that conflict really opened up the story for me"
"I also used a new generation of 3D Models of the Mother that looks more natural and realistic in my opinion. Specially the skin quality is top notch. I could also not resist to use the likeness of an actress to really get a Hollywood feel."
