Krak

Self-initiated project in order to explore personal motivations.

My grandfather's old lathe

Tribute to my grandfather's old lathe. The goal was to make seem that the lathe worked with liquids, a rare thing for this kind of machines.

Innovation day by Pernod Ricard

I was assigned to do four chapters 2min each of animation for the Innovation Day held in Paris by Pernod Ricard.Done in 10 days a total of 8min/1920*1080 animation. This is the intro and the first chapter.

Introduction - personal branding

Because finding an interesting job during this time is not that easy, I try to share my motivation using this video-branding about myself. I hope it will help me to find what I'm looking for.

Splashes - serie.1

The becoming

Self initiated project in ordedr to explore liquid simulation, deamons, and some other deformers.

A beautiful bloody sound

The project addresses the exploitation of natural resources using a sophisticated 3D sound design that stimulates a 3D mind space, making the listerners build an imaginary world.
Featured: Europrix Multimedia Awards & NEM Summit

SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT ME

Joan Masoliver was born in 1986 in Sabadell, Barcelona. In 2003 he started studying "Digital design and electronic art" at the college of design ESDi. While studying there he was working in websites as a designer and developer. In 2006 he went to study at the MOME, in Budapest were his life changed. He gets in touch with motion designers and skilful animators artists. Soon, he noticed that motion design was more attractive to him in the way to communicate visual feelings to audiences.

After Budapest he went to study at the London College of communication a degree about Digital Media Production. His graduation project (2010) was a video presentation using 3D sound, and it allowed him to be nominated by the Europrix jury Europe's best young designer and multimedia producer.

Statement

In his projects he always try to achieve challenges, turning each job a learning-class. Using a specific kind of humour and diversion as a background of the projects, he tries to find his own style. But sometimes he likes to let himself slip in order to find other methods and ways to develop different ideas. Doing that, allows him to focus on specific situations but also to be opened for new challenges making his style move. His core competences are 3D motion graphics and motion design, but he is not limited to use only this means to achieve his goals, proving in previous projects that he can move confortable in other and new communicative environments.
