I joined forces with Enrique Hernandis to create this opening for Teka. We used fluid simulations to lin a caramel liquid into the Teka's logo, in an animation created using Cinema 4d, X Particles and Redshift.
The lighting and color palette was inspired by fine food and product photography. We created a dark, mysterious atmosphere to reveal the logo at the end.

Here's an early animatic with some experiments with liquids and fractures.
Here's a more advanced animatic, with the x-particles simulation.
The most challenging part was the fluid transformation from liquid to solid, and the fracture before the revealing the log. We are quite happy with the final result.
