2. Cinema 4d - Textures and Particles

In comparison to the last Cinema 4d session, this was much more detailed creating different little animations on Cinema 4d. Here are some screenshots below and my videos below:

2. Rotoscoping

In this second workshop, we created a second video and used this material to rotoscope. I then used different effects in every loop and created this retro looking style. This is my video below:

1. Cinema 4d - Logo

In the first Cinema 4d workshop, we created 2d artwork on Illustrator and transformed them into a 3d rotating animation. I've designed this logo using shapes which was inspired by The Weeknd with his XO label. For the animation to run smooth, we had to add flooring, light and shadows to make it seem natural. I quite like using Cinema 4d and it just helps having step by step guidance on how to use the software.

1. Exploring Geometry

Year 2's Process and Production begins with Sara's workshop on Exploring Geometry. This workshop allowed us to create shapes on Illustrator that were edited further using motion graphics production techniques on After Effects to create this animation. This was also an introduction to using expressions, much developed effects, and the wiggler. Here is my animation below:

I think my favourite bit from this workshop is how you can manipulate the shape to another, so in mine it went from a triangle to a square. The wiggler effect is also pretty cool and can be useful if the animation could be linked to music and sound waves. Overall it's been a successful session.
