John Bigboote Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Wanted to share a little show-and-tell. I just finished the second of a series of TV spots for a Michigan medical facility. The agency is using stylized artwork/illustrations in print and billboards and wanted to expand the look and style of them into :30 TV spots. My task was to try to make the illustration hold its own and be captivating for an extended amount of time, via animation. The way I went about it was to use A:M as a sort of 3D compositor to add dimension and movement to the image. By deleting all of the lights and using 100% global illumination and setting each layer to 'flat shaded' and 'no shadows' renders were quite swift. I used After Effects before and after the A:M process, before to generate image sequences of the characters moving, mainly using the puppet tool, and after to layer it all up and add titles/editorial effects.

Kamikaze Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 very cool......so nice to see how you set it up Quote
Admin Rodney Posted July 29, 2012 Admin Posted July 29, 2012 Awesome setup. Awesome job. Hopefully that'll get your work further out into the public eye (like your Belltire commericials!). Quote
MMZ_TimeLord Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 That was really well done John. Excellent work! Quote
John Bigboote Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 Thanks everyone. Looking at After Effects CS6... looks like you will be able to do some dioramas 'like this' in that great new app too! A:M and AE were meant for each other...! http://www.video2brain.com/en/videos-17139.htm Quote
thejobe Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 extremely professional looking. A:M does so many amazing things so easily. Quote
