3D Holographic Fashion Show by Tim Jockel

3D Holographic Fashion Show from Tim Jockel on Vimeo.

Year: 2011 | Agency: Bakery | Role: Concept, Design, Motion Design, 3D

The question was how to communicate the philosophy behind the new collection of German "Haute Couture" fashion designer Stefan Eckert in a better way. The answer was the world's first complete 3D holographic fashion show. I teamed up with director Florian Sigl to create the visual concept for the show and how to express the collection within this special medium as best as possible. After shooting with a high speed camera I did all stages of post production, from 3D to motion graphics to compositing.
The result was one of the biggest holographic projections ever which creates a complete optical illusion and breaks the rules of time and space on stage.

The video below is a montage of key scenes from the show, some live captured moments and some behind-the-scene-shots. (more videos on vimeo/timjockel)

KAZILLA's Narwhal and his story

"Stranded on a chunk of ice adrift in the Arctic Circle, after loosing his fins in a Leopard Seal attack, our Narwhal sinks into sadness. As he weaves in and out of the days spent floating in the listless sea, the night lights grow dim. The Aurora Borealis sparks the sky. The colors swirl and dance above him in the pool of stars. The lights peak and dip and start to shower down on our Narwhal, he notices the warmth of her embrace. Enchanted by the Northern Lights and warmed by her touch he wraps his tail around to hold her close. Brought back from the edge of despair, our narwhal is carried back to his clan through the celestial rainbow shower of light, in her arms."

UNICEF Announces 2011 UNICEF Tap Project to help Provide Safe, Clean Drinking Water to Children around the World

For Every $1 Raised, UNICEF Can Provide One Child Access to Safe, Clean Water for 40 Days

Aesthetics Gallery, 2 NE 40th Street, Suite 203 Miami, FL 33137

DR. GABRIEL SALLOUM AND MCPS HOST UNICEF TAP PROJECT EVENT TO HELP UNICEF PROVIDE SAFE DRINKING WATER FOR CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Miami, FL - May 21st, 2011 Dr. Gabriel Salloum and the Miami Center for Plastic Surgery will be hosting a silent art auction to raise funds for the UNICEF Tap Project. Talented artists from all over the South Florida area have donated their artwork for this amazing cause. The event will highlight these exceptional artists and their pieces, with all proceeds from the sales going to support UNICEF Tap Project.

Now in its fifth year, the award-winning UNICEF Tap Project,is a nationwide campaign from the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. The first program of its kind, the UNICEF Tap Project has become a national movement that affords anyone the opportunity to help provide the world’s children access to safe, clean water. Through numerous fundraising and volunteer activities, the UNICEF Tap Project celebrates the clean water we enjoy on daily basis by giving its celebrity, restaurant, volunteer, corporate, and government supporters the opportunity to give water back to the children around the world via the theme “When You Take Water Give Water”.

During World Water Week, restaurants across the United States will encourage patrons to donate $1 or more for the tap water they usually enjoy for free. Participating restaurants will once again receive a toolkit containing materials which include all the resources necessary to execute the UNICEF Tap Project by engaging customers to support UNICEF water programs by adding a donation of $1 or more per person to their bill. In 2010 alone, nearly 1,000 restaurants and more than 4,200 volunteers from all 50 states participated in the national campaign, making it the largest volunteer mobilization effort for the U.S. Fund for UNICEF.

UNICEF Tap Project Volunteers will be supporting efforts by conducting local fundraising events and activities. Thousands of restaurants, dining patrons, students and volunteers, along with corporate, community, celebrity and governments supporters have made the UNICEF Tap Project a powerful national movement.

All funds raised will support UNICEF's water, sanitation and hygiene programs, and the effort to bring clean and accessible water to millions of children around the world. Countries slated to receive 2011 funding include Viet Nam, Togo and Central African Republic

For the fourth consecutive year, Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. is providing funding to support the UNICEF Tap Project volunteer program, which includes recruitment, training, resources and support to thousands of volunteers who will lead on-the-ground efforts for the UNICEF Tap Project in their local communities.

Founding agency partner Droga5 and MediaVest will support the initiative once again creating a high profile, pro-bono ad campaign that will place the UNICEF Tap Project in various mediums throughout the nation leading up to and during World Water Week. The UNICEF Tap Project will also have the support of returning supporters from online dining sites ZAGAT.com OpenTable.com, SeamlessWeb.com, and Yelp.com.


Since its inception in 2007, the UNICEF Tap Project has raised nearly $2.5 million in the U.S. and has helped to provide clean water to millions of children around the world. UNICEF works in more than 150 countries around the world to improve access to safe water and sanitation facilities in schools and communities, and to promote safe hygiene practices. Over the past 16 years, more than a billion people gained access to improved drinking water and sanitation facilities thanks to UNICEF’s efforts.

About UNICEF
UNICEF has saved more children's lives than any other humanitarian organization in the world. Working in more than 150 countries, UNICEF provides children with health care, clean water, nutrition, education, emergency relief, and more. The U.S. Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF's work through fundraising, advocacy, and education in the United States.

UNICEF is at the forefront of efforts to reduce child mortality worldwide. There has been substantial progress: the annual number of under-five deaths dropped from 13 million in 1990 to 8.8 million in 2008. But still, 22,000 children die each day from preventable causes. Our mission is to do whatever it takes to make that number zero by giving children the essentials for a safe and healthy childhood. For more information, visit www.unicefusa.org.
