Every year I promise myself I will keep my reel simple.
Every year I failed to do so.

This year I decided to push my knowledge of Blender to create a title sequence that could also be used as personal branding

The above renders are straight out of Blender - no compositing or colour correction.

The new AgX colourspace gives wonderful results that are comparable to ACES.
Combined with depth-of-field, screenspace reflections, and glass dispersion - EEVEE can create gorgeous visuals.

Procedural Playground
Building the scene with Geometry Nodes and rendering with EEVEE creates a digital sandbox where you can quickly play with different compositions in real-time.

Bringing "play" intro your work allows you more creative freedom since testing new ideas doesn't come with the price of managing complex setups and endless key-frames. Everything can easily be modified: the distribution shape, materials and objects, or the amount of objects. Anyone can open the file and quickly understand the controls to play.
Final_final_02
Typically a project begins with a moodboard to guide the visuals, but this project began with impulsive inspiration and was guided by aesthetic desire (and the invaluable feedback of great artists). With each version, I tried to re-incorporate what worked and push what needed work into a new direction.
