vimeo -  today

so … are you guys working ??

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

my dogcreek friends have a little different perspective.

I’m reminded of how  in Walden, Thoreau bemoans the many hours we spend working our life instead of living our Lives. It just doesn’t seem like the same possibility now but …

tell that to my fawn ….

Alpha Matte from AE and Illustrator

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

mattes are fun and even more when you use a text matte to reveal your message.

Of course there’s really no message here tonight but a simple text animation revealing some fishy activity. Candidate for a political add.

Sorenson 360 Cloud Computing for You

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Sorenson 360 is a member of our ‘cloud computing’ family that will soon take over the world and charge rent to Bill Gates.

What ‘cloud computing’ really is, Sorenson 360 is pretty cool, behind their acclaimed compression tool you do have a storage hub where you can share, review, access from all your sites -

nice mpeg4, use their skins

there’s even an SEO component to their 360 services … so you might want to check it out

waterflow

Cinema4D waterfall

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

one of the fun things about animation is …. relationships intended to produce a certain ‘look and feel’ … a certain effect .. might work just fine for something completely different.

Using the cloth tag and some friction/gravity relationships you can create a pretty friendly waterfall with plane layers sliding off one another. Play with the timing, surround with a nice cartoon landscape, get some bright reflective material for your bubbly water surface and …

together they produce a nice starter for your wild paradise wonderland.

so ah … where were you last night ?

is pretty cool – we all need to squeeze these media monsters but

360 http://www.sorensonmedia.com/video-delivery-network/

is much more with their own world of skins, players, a review section to share, statistics, SEO, one stop shopping …. central satellite view …. wow … that’s a lot of alliteration …. but then again … SorensonSqueeze are one

another cube

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

with a little timing, a  little more preview of these short animations, it was much easier to coordinate the faces,

and with a some marble columns, a little more Roman too. Pick the marble material from the Cinema4D library, or create your own if you like, map your movies to your cube faces, choose ’separate faces’ before you make your cube editable,

and you’re well  on you way to a simple way to let your 3D share multiple movies with your viewers
