I worked with nailgun* as a freelance Designer & Animator on the open and on other pieces of the pack. We produced several directions before getting to the approved one. Here are some of them: <img src="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/0/21390/2790216/Boards_Play_01_860.png" width="860" height="486" width_o="860" height_o="486" src_o="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/0/21390/2790216/Boards_Play_01_o.png" data-mid="14170174" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/0/21390/2790216/Boards_Play_02_860.png" width="860" height="732" width_o="860" height_o="732" src_o="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/0/21390/2790216/Boards_Play_02_o.png" data-mid="14170335" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/0/21390/2790216/Boards_Play_03_860.png" width="860" height="486" width_o="860" height_o="486" src_o="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/0/21390/2790216/Boards_Play_03_o.png" data-mid="14171349" border="0" align="left"/> Nearly all the animation was done in Cinema 4D, and one of the biggest challenges was making the camera travel around smoothly, moving between stages almost unnoticeably. <img src="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/0/21390/2790216/Boards_Play_Work_860.png" width="860" height="976" width_o="860" height_o="976" src_o="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/0/21390/2790216/Boards_Play_Work_o.png" data-mid="14171261" border="0" align="left"/> Big thanks to Michael, Erik, Shane & all the team from nailgun* for the great opportunity. http://danielcoutinho.tv/Cube http://danielcoutinho.tv/following/danielcoutinho.tv/Cube Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:28:10 +0000 danielcoutinho 2790195 Cube is an experiment that started with the simple idea of reconstructing a Rubik's Cube in 3D. Even though I hadn't been working on 3D Max quite often then, I was pleased with the render I got out of it. After that, some friends helped with the rigging, and animating became easier. With a rather short render from 3D I was able to play a lot in After Effects and eventually came up with around 18 seconds of animation. Although the color correction on the render wasn't so dramatic, compositing played a big part on the final piece, as I added several layers of particles, smoke, flares & bokeh effects. <img src="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/0/21390/2790195/Boards_Cube_860.png" width="860" height="976" width_o="860" height_o="976" src_o="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/0/21390/2790195/Boards_Cube_o.png" data-mid="14170846" border="0" align="left"/> The soundtrack & sound effects were created afterwards by Lucas Coutinho, my super-talented-musician cousin. Special thanks also to Alexandre Ormond & Erick Monteiro. http://danielcoutinho.tv/Reel http://danielcoutinho.tv/following/danielcoutinho.tv/Reel Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:18:09 +0000 danielcoutinho 2787898 This is a selection of my favorite projects until 2010.
