Protocol

Protocol is Klofama's event series, and every edition puts hardware into the body. Pistons, plugs and chrome are set into skin and lit like a product shot, on a strict black and white palette.

Hydraulic arms fanned out of a back, rigged to the body so they move with it. The arms are a rig, not a sculpt: each one is tied to the body and timed on curves, which is what lets the camera get this close without anything sliding. Render first, then the build behind it.

The Rotterdam edition turns the palette over: a row of chrome plugs down the spine, shot against white. Three stills from the same build, before any type goes on.
