Some exploration of luminous and metallic ferns, made a bit of a series of it. Basis of it is using touchdesigner on atlases to make animated textures, then a whole heap of 3d and comp.

The Weird Fern video:
Experiments into displacing time and space to make animations phase in and out of existence. It makes lots of beautiful lensing artifacts like water ripples and sometimes makes the object bend in on itself. I made an animated texture in touchdesigner and rendered it as a fern in Houdini, then back into touchdesigner and nuke for post fx. Music and sound in Ableton (especially the awesome new drift synth).
