Originally from Germany, Till Nowak currently lives in Los Angeles and does concept art for films like Black Panther, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Thor: Ragnarok, The Lion King and The Mouse Guard. As a filmmaker, he gained international attention with his short films "Delivery" (2005), "The Centrifuge Brain Project" (2011) and "Dissonance" (2015), which received more than 80 international awards. He also is responsible for several large scale public light art installations on historic buildings, such as the Rendsburg high bridge. Till’s work stands out due to its signature style merging surreal and complex (escherian) visual constructs with down-and-gritty documentary-style live-action footage, all cut together with an impeccable sense of pacing and great musical backdrops. “In the art departments I animate things a lot. A lot of the concepts are still images, but every once in a while I present something to the production designer that’s moving. [...] Ten years ago they were shocked that things were suddenly moving. I didn’t realize it was a big deal.” Till’s Website: http://www.framebox.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/till.nowak/ Centrifuge brain project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVeHxUVkW4w Dissonance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoWtYVpXJgg Delivery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMiZ3oFEZtw Till’s 2010 showreel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47dBTqnWf8Q Window crossing the street: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNF9DI46KDc Show notes: Children Of Men - Alfonso Quaron H.R.
