A little bit more about Artistic Alchemy...
Education, Training, and Experience
Artistic Alchemy founder and lead creative, Bart Willard is graduate of Huntington University with BA in Graphic Design. A strong fine arts foundation and knowledge of good art & design were acquired during his time at HU but his animation, 3D modeling, visual FX, and film making skills were real-life learned.
Sometime around the Spring of 2010, Bart had the opportunity to work on his first film, "The Sound of The Spirit". The experience brought together some wonderful individuals. During that project, he met the producer, Guy Camara of Kingdom Pictures who encouraged Bart to pursue his dream of working in film... to embrace it as a calling given to him by God. Artistic Alchemy is the culmination of Bart's education and experience and an expression of his desire to work in cinema, to make movies, to share the truth of The Bible, and to glorify the God who gave it to us.
Themes, Genres, and Styles
Our work here at Artistic Alchemy tends to be a unique combination of sci-fi, fantasy, with steampunk, dieselpunk and industrial aesthetics. The sci-fi part is best described as grimy retro-futurism, the fantasy part as techno-anachronism. Ours is a slightly dark style with a splash of light and color... cinematic, dramatic, geeky and fun... not easy to categorize... it's "know it when you see it" kind of work. Our particular visual style, combined with the genres of sci-fi/fantasy, lends itself to communicating the transcendent, yet practical truths of scripture in what we hope is a unique and original way.
Can you hire US?
Yes... if you have need of our skill set and creativity, then we would definitely like to speak to you about your project. Design, animation, video production, music, sound... you can hire us and all of the resources of Artistic Alchemy.
