Prime-Meta Moon

This project was a self initiated case study titled Prime: Meta Moon, inspired by the branding of the Prime bottle. The idea came from a lab instructor encouraging me to create something based on a product I genuinely liked. Back in 2022, while I was still in high school, I was drawn to the look and theme of the Meta Moon bottle, which led me to recreate it in 3D.

I modeled, animated, and composited every element in the video. The Prime bottle was reimagined as a rocket, blending product design with a playful, cinematic concept. The goal was to push the branding into a bold and imaginative space while keeping it visually recognizable.

The piece focused on dynamic motion, dramatic lighting, and stylized effects to bring energy and personality to the scene. Everything was built and controlled inside Cinema 4D, allowing for a fully custom look from start to finish.

The biggest challenge was working with pyro simulations. This was my first time using pyro in Cinema 4D, and it required a lot of testing and adjustment to get the timing and scale to feel right. Through experimentation, I was able to integrate the effects in a way that supported the animation without overpowering the design.
