My Channel 4 Ident.

This is an animation I created in this mornings CAAD session. This is my own imitation of the Channel 4 ident. I found it weirdly fun to create and I am happy with the outcome. These techniques are pretty much what Channel 4 would have used for their idents. I used Cinema 4D and the Bezier tool to create the outline of the Channel 4 logo. I then dropped the splines into an Extrude Nurb. I extruded the Nurbs X axis out to 40 and 0 out the Y and Z axis. I then turn the faces white by creating a new material and clicking Luminance. After all that was sorted I found an image to go onto the sides of the cubes. I chose an image of Pioneer CDJ's. I set the mode to Frontal. I had to keyframe backwards so they would move into place in the correct way. I then moved the Cubes so they fit together to create the channel 4 logo. After effects was really just a case of using the pen tool and creating masks. Rather simple when you get the hang of it.
