Bultex Intelligent Material
A 3D motion design film on the technology inside Bultex mattresses, made to run as one film or as three capsules.
Overview
Bultex asked me to direct a film on the technology inside its mattresses, told through three properties of the material: resilient, enduring and breathable. I directed it and led the team, managing the project and coordinating every department through to delivery.
The film works as one piece or as three standalone capsules, one per property, so each can run on its own wherever Bultex needs it.
Resilient
The first capsule shows the structure of the material. I designed this cell system and its look development at the start of the project, with the Bultex team, and the same cells carry all three capsules.
Enduring
The second capsule shows how the mattress takes a body's pressure over time. For it, I developed a custom Arnold shader for an x-ray and pressure effect, driven by the distance to the mesh and by ambient occlusion. It lets a transparent body cast shadows into the mattress, so you see where the pressure goes, which a standard render couldn't show.
Breathable
The third capsule follows the air moving through the open cells, to show how the material breathes.
