Jean Piché Creates “FreeBirds” Using FreeForm Pro

World-reknowned video artist Jean Piché likes the creative freedom he gets from creating in After Effects. His latest sequence, FreeBirds, was made with Mettle’s FreeForm Pro.
“Freefrom Pro was an unexpected treasure trove. The ability to manipulate arbitrary forms and objects in a complete 3D environment within After Effects yielded astonishing imagery quickly and predictably.”


 

Jean’s computer music work is currently featured on the Creators Project. Founded by a revolutionary partnership between Intel and VICE, The Creators Project supports visionary artists across multiple disciplines who are using technology in innovative ways to push the boundaries of creative expression.
