In order to visualize this CDS System, Madness GmbH engaged me to create something "visually stunning", in view of aesthetics and motion.
As in previous animations those cubes were used to visualize the CDS, I used them too, to generate kinda chaos, which later on organizes itself to a clear and understandable structure.

I rendered the different shots totally flat (linear workflow) in 16 Bit, to have the maximum gradation in the later compositing.
Here I added the additional lens blurs and lens effects to the depth of field, as well as washed out edges and a few back lights.
Finally I added chromatic aberrations in Lightroom to emphasize the more photorealistic look.
 In a later stage, I did the setup for the animation in stereo.
