This is Studio L-F. We will be working on an interactive art piece for the Freemote festival, hosted by Born Digital. We’re psyched already to bring you lots of awesome from 7 -11 December, so save the date! With this blog we will keep you posted about the progress of our installation piece from time to time. And because we embrace the idea of collaborative creation that Born Digital values, we will also give you insight in our creative process along the road.
Now then, let me introduce you to the team:
First off, this is Marc De Vreede, besides being a game designer he is our team captain and facilitator of whatever we can think of. If we would tell him we need an old Russian tank, he asks us when. He’s also our private studio-DJ, so if we would tell him we need Kanye West, he asks us why the heck we would want that. Even facilitators like Marc know when not to provide.
Next up is Bram Geerlings, another game designer. That reassuring smile in his picture is there for a reason. He just knows this project is going to rock. Playing with interaction between the physical and digital world are just his thing and he will assure the team brings an awesome experience.
We continue with Joram Wolters, our third game designer. As Lead Design he will attempt to keep the rest of the pack in check, while pitching our concept clear as water to whoever needs to hear it. Besides that, his photographing skills are the reason we all look so sexy.
Moving on to Tommy Friedrichs this digital media designer has a skill list that is just too long to list here. Let’s say he knows his stuff when it comes to programming. He also likes to film, create and spin music, VJ, do visual design and conceptual thinking. And that is just the short list.
Then there’s Kenneth Nelson, interaction designer. Combining conceptual thinking with technical knowledge he might just make sure we’re actually able to build it all. We like our interaction designers like we like our coffee: spicy and inspiring. Anyone who expected me to say black is just being racist.
Next in line is Falco Verholen, not just your everyday graphical designer. He creates colourful modern art with surprisingly little actual use of colour and will surely present us with amazing visuals in the weeks to come.
Going through our art department the next to be introduced is Tom van der Linden, who made the cool team poster you’ve already seen above. We picked him of the streets some weeks ago with a sign saying “Will make art for project spot” and added him to the team. It was a well drawn sign though. With stick figures and all.
Stijn Postmus is our Art Director and a fine one with that. He likes to seek beauty in simplicity, so I will keep this simple as well: this guy will manage everything visual and it will be good.
Presenting Bo van Oord, he will complete the art team and represent us in 3 dimensions. He almost finished modeling the hall we’ll be working in before the rest of us even got home after viewing it. I’m not sure if that’s dedication or skill, but I’m going for the combination of those.
You’ll be listening to Rutger Muller, one of our sound designers. He will make our installation come to life with adaptive music that connects with the interaction and the visuals. Putting from modern classical and electronic music he will surprise us with unexpected compositions, like a true audio ninja.
To complete our sound set we’ve got Daan van Hasselt. He does everything from programming to creating music and visuals. His first idea was to build hundreds of small audio robots so we suspect he might just be using us to take over the world.
Last in the line, I’m Arjen de Jong. I combine game design with performance design and as such create games for existing spaces. Besides that I write and use a dramaturgic view to reflect on games, interactive experiences and my lunch.
That’s it for now. Check the next update for a first impression of what we will bring you this December.
