"Red Lion" Entry in The Adobe Design Achievement Awards

“Red Lion” Entry in The Adobe Design Achievement Awards

by Oh. on April 16, 2019 in Awards

“Red Lion” is an early-bird entry in The Adobe Design Achievement Awards contest which seeks to discover and recognize inspiring creative projects from designers, photographers, animators, and digital filmmakers. The first session of the 2019 awards started on Mar 7, 2019 at 04:00 PM PST until Apr 17, 2019 at 05:00 PM PDT.

It would have taken many months to create the 5 minutes of animation for Red Lion if it weren’t for the some of the new features available in the awesome Adobe products – After Effects and Premiere Pro. Also the incredible Mettle 3D plugins made it possible to express the surreal elements of the narrative with ease. And finally, what was most exciting of all was creating my first 3D model of the Metallia character with Adobe Fuse and the free animations on Adobe Mixamo.

The EP “Metallia” has received over 32 reviews from 13 countries worldwide, is in top 10 progressive rock and metal charts and listed as one of the best albums of the year for 2018 on Metal Nation Radio.

“Metallia” by Oh. is an epical prog-metal composition in six parts. A multi-layered sonic piece of ravishing solo electric guitars, time-bending tempo shifts, grooving bass lines and deranged drums.

This instrumental progressive metal album will reveal its intricacies and hidden depths over time. It will extract from your mind pure visions, to mend your mental pictures, preen presumptions and to elicit an element of the unexpected…. because that is what will transmute your subliminal mind map into a remarkable blueprint which will lead you from wherever you are now, to wherever you want to be.
