Animated Neon Eye for Simon Moretti

I was recently approached by the artist Simon Moretti to re-appraise a piece he had previously had made of a single neon eye and he was looking to add an additional layer of neon and animate the two together. Simon sent me the visual below as a guide to what he was looking to achieve.

The glass used was 10mm White 3500K for the lashes and lower eye and 10mm standard green for the iris on the first layer with 10mm White 4500K and 10mm Super Blue iris on the second layer.

The two separate eyes were mounted using 70mm high tube supports for the outer layer, with the same tube supports cut down to 25mm for the lower bottom layer.


In these photos I have rigged the piece up on my bench over the installation drawing to check that it all fits together correctly.  The electrodes and joining pieces of glass were painted out in a grey paint.

  2. NEON LIGHTS is undoubtedly one of the best in the business! Their work reminds me of the top film studios in Pune, where creativity and precision come together. It's like finding a best video editing company in Pune that truly understands the art of storytelling. Their color grading studio in Mumbai is simply exceptional, delivering cinematic brilliance. The attention to detail and the seamless integration of vibrant hues is something you don't find everywhere. If you're wondering how much color grading costs, trust me, it’s worth every penny for the quality NEON LIGHTS offers
