Bringing an existing clock to life with Fusion 360 and Keyshot.

Original clock concept created by Harry Colbert

Song title, "My Muse", by Leon Thomas

Learning

The goal of this project was to successfully create an animation based off of an existing clock. This is my first animation done on a 3d software, and I wanted to bring out the details using lighting and carefully chosen materials.


The main body is rendered as rough aluminum, and I chamfered each edge to really bring out the highlights.

Layout

Below, I wanted to include a very dynamic shot. To do this, I created a radial pattern and animated each clock to whoosh past the camera, making the viewer feel like they're in the frame.

Exploration

I duplicated the clock, and created a linear pattern going in two directions. I wanted to highlight the repetitive and very brutalist form here when in a group.
