The visuals supported the song ‘Memories’ of David Guetta featuring Kid Cudi. The animation was presented on an incredible large screen of 15 x 7,2 meter (49.21 x 23.62 ft) behind Kid Cudi. In just a week time, I created a series of looping animations all focusing on very abstract landscapes and imaginable sight seeings you might see on your way driving home. Left is a selection of my favorites. https://dennishoogstad.nl/Aescripts-com Tue, 22 Sep 2020 08:22:51 +0000 Dennis Hoogstad https://dennishoogstad.nl/Aescripts-com <img width="2040" height="2040" width_o="2040" height_o="2040" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9655637cab5a7707b2ce826b875f91fa1e564f3502ca6b3344e606eca91bb0a9/1.-Scene-wow-01.png" data-mid="83410387" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9655637cab5a7707b2ce826b875f91fa1e564f3502ca6b3344e606eca91bb0a9/1.-Scene-wow-01.png" /> <img width="2040" height="2040" width_o="2040" height_o="2040" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/af8b05a31b4d709d25e2e3e4552dcc62c85aaccfd10264cc9159ad00185689db/2.-Scene-100k-01.png" data-mid="83410386" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/af8b05a31b4d709d25e2e3e4552dcc62c85aaccfd10264cc9159ad00185689db/2.-Scene-100k-01.png" /> <img width="2040" height="2040" width_o="2040" height_o="2040" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9bc4b586e4032ef7b1f94db07721e5eb25659cfabe026d2dc8b59844b698481b/4.-Scene-thankyou-01B.png" data-mid="83410385" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9bc4b586e4032ef7b1f94db07721e5eb25659cfabe026d2dc8b59844b698481b/4.-Scene-thankyou-01B.png" /> — Aescripts.com In December 2019 world's largest After Effects scripts and plugins marketplace, aescripts.com, reached 100k followers on their Instagram account.
