Primitive Stack
Summary
"Primitive Stack" is a byproduct of a lighting and texturing exercise I was doing in Cinema 4D. All of these were originally going to be static pictures, but I decided to add in some pizazz and make the shapes dance to music.

Background
At the time, I used Cinema 4D, but I didn't really know Cinema 4D. I used it as more of a companion tool when I wanted to add 3D to my After Effects projects. I decided to challenge myself and dive deeper by learning about 3D lighting and composition.
Conception
It started when I recreated a piece from the 3D illustration series "Fauna" by Cristian Malagon Garcia and Núria Madrid.
Later, I used those same techniques to create my take on this style.
Then I had the idea of using color palates inspired by old 1960s toys.
Finally, I had a sudden realization that I could animate these things to music, and this project is what came out of it.
