Parking Jam Instagram Filter

I worked with the marketing department to create an Instagram filter for Popcore. It was designed from the ground up to allow fans of the Parking Jam game to engage with one of the main characters.

I programmed the filter using Spark AR's node based application to create the interactivity with the  user's eyes, eyebrows, mouth and head position.

I also updated other existing filters, and took snapshots of the games from custom views inside the game engine for use by the social media department on TikTok and Instagram.

Game Ad Videos

I worked with the motion design team to ideated and produce ads for the following games: Parking Jam, Pull the Pin and Tap Away. The work involved recording in-engine footage of the games inside of Unity and later adding effects and animations using After Effects and Premiere. Some videos also required adding special shaders or creating additional assets and graphics using Figma and Blender. The videos were rendered to different sizes and lengths to fit the requirements of each platform. 

I also supported the Motion Design team with Unity specific tasks like creating temporary modifications to the game,  as well as designing and running workshops and documentation to improve the speed and workflow of the team.

 Augmented Reality Application mimemeAR

 mimemeAR, an augmented reality app co-created with two fashion designers, wins second place in the 1st Fashion Fusion competition organized by Telekom Germany.

"The Emperor’s New Clothes for the selfie generation."

Using the inbuilt camera of  AR enabled devices, it is possible to visualize different clothing designs and 3D accesories on top of clothing marked with special symbols, such as the white print on the model's t-shirt in the picture on the left.
 
This allows trying on clothes that only exist digitally,  or play around with costumes and avatars– like a snapchat filter for fashion. With these kinds of possibilities, our team aims to inspire fashionistas to make new fashion statements, to rework fashion, or explore being someone- or something-else.
