In this captivating music video for Brin & Dustin Wong's "Texture V: Sunset Chime," I harnessed the full power of Blender to create a deeply immersive and psychedelic visual journey. What sets this project apart is the unique fusion of artistry with technical expertise: I hand-wrote Python code to develop custom Blender plugins, pushing the boundaries of visual effects and animation. The result is a trippy, mesmerizing sequence that perfectly complements the track's ethereal vibe. This project underscores my ability to innovate within industry-standard tools, demonstrating both my proficiency in software development and my flair for creative expression.
