Blast from the Past
This is the first piece we've made for the upcoming Purdue football season and I'm excited about the way the whole look turned out. This piece is a 'guess the year' type of thing that will run during football games on the new LED wall Purdue is installing. Scott Horton is the creative director this season and he wanted a 300 look with some steampunk elements and this is what we created. Scott edited the little video in Premiere Pro that plays during the piece highlighting the events that happened that year. Adam Ruud and I created the base frames in Photoshop that surround the elements. Brad Sommer created the title and spinning numbers in Maya. And I assembled the whole piece in After Effects. To do that I edited the frames created by Adam in Photoshop so they would work the way I needed them to for the piece. I created the background in Photoshop. I then took all the elements assembled them in After Effects and put 3D motion to them and added a camera, lights, shadows, and color correction. I then animated all the pieces to create what you see below.
[ note: this is a rough version. the motion blur was turned off to shorten render time and the voice-over is a temporary one until we get the real one recorded. I'll update the video when we have a completed piece ]
