Here’s a promo for the series “Elijah” at LifeChurch.tv. When concepting, we ultimately decided that one great symbol of God’s provision, and of Elijah’s faith, would be found in the ravens that God sent to provide food for Elijah in the wilderness. With that concept, I couldn’t help but lean to Hitchcock for inspiration.
And for a little “behind-the-scenes” action, here’s a quick peek at the steps in the process, with Photoshop, Cinema4D and After Effects using Particular.
This video series intro is AWESOME!!!! I don’t know why (because it is kind of simple as far as color, words, etc) , but I think it is SOOOO COOL!!! We want to start trying to make some of our own video animations for sermon series at my church. A friend of mine has the Adobe suite with After Effects, Photshop, etc. We are going to start to play around with it some this weekend and try to learn some stuff. The problem is, neither of us have any experience in graphic design. So anything we will learn how to do will have to be learned from online tutorials.
I used to go to LifeChurch.tv when I was living in Oklahoma City during college (I went to Souther Nazarene University). I really miss it. You guys are awesome for providing us with the ability to attend online though. Thank you so much for that ministry. I have used it to introduce multiple friends to Life Church. Keep up the amazing work.
Wow! Where’d you get that bird animation? I would do anything for a copy it!
Hey Lane,
I made it, actually – with a couple of solids, cut to look like half of a bird, then animated in 3D space.
Here’s a tutorial on how to achieve it. I haven’t read through all of these steps, but it looks almost identical to the way did it (Except for using Illustrator – I did it all in AE).

Thanks!
You’re the man!
