Dropbox

Chris Bjerre and Peter Clark are San Francisco artists who work in motion design, 3D, and music.

For Permutations, they joined “Made With,” a yearly Motion Plus Design project with Dropbox, and set out to make an experimental short that shifts between live action, 2D, and 3D.

‍

They coordinated it through Dropbox, sharing mood boards to start and passing renders across machines as it came together.

A person in a shiny black full-body suit stands on a small platform in a photo studio, surrounded by lighting equipment, stands, cables, and two crew members adjusting the set.

“Dropbox made it really easy for Chris and I to start sharing inspiration and our mood boards to get the project rolling.” – Peter Clark
