Evian Commercial

This animated commercial is from 2009, but it's pretty darn good. I watch it and think about all the time it would take to make it. The syncing of the music with the animation alone would be so time consuming! I would love to see a behind-the-scenes on how they made it.

Animated Commercials

My Motion Design class has made me much more aware of all the animation we see out there. I couldn't help but to share this animated commercial about using the bus. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Time Warp

After seeing Mark's fabulous snowboarding catalog in GDS222, this time warp video caught my eye. I thought everyone might enjoy it.

3D Design Possibilities

I was searching for commercials with good 3D effects and wasn't having much luck. However, I ran across an ad for the Art Institute. It's just a short little example of some 3D work, but I kind of like it.

Then I ran across this Evian Commercial and it was just too good to pass up. I'm not really sure how they did it, but it is pretty darn funny!

 

3D in Animation

There are so many good animation commercials out there that it's just really hard to choose which ones to share. So, here are a couple to give you a few laughs. The first is for something I've never heard of, but the second is for Power Rangers - everyone's heard of them!

  

Rotoscoping

This week's homework is on Rotoscoping. I found this to be extremely tedious, but the end results were worth it. Personally I can't imagine spending everyday doing something like this, but, it wouldn't be bad to do on occasion.

I found this Awesome compilation video on YouTube and just had to share it with you. This is the Rotoscoping Reel 2013 for the company called RotoFactory. "RotoFactory is a visual effects company located in Northern California. RotoFactory has an extremely innovative and competent artistic team and the reputation of providing the best 2D digital paint and roto anywhere. With quick turnarounds, RotoFactory has always delivered shows on time."

Masking in After Effects

This week's homework was about masking in After Effects. We had done a little of this in class, but the homework went into it a little bit more. I found this interesting because it was a lot like masks in Photoshop. Of course, I needed to find out a little bit more. 

I found this tutorial on YouTube that actually shows how to morph between mask shapes. This could give you a really cool result in some instances.
