At the Movies’09 – Animated

Here’s the AtM’09 animated promo as promised.

It turns out that it’s pretty difficult to represent a lot of movie genres without using people. The result is that this ends up being a little sci-fi/action heavy (which is fine by my inner geek). I just can’t believe I didn’t add a Western element…

Had a lot of fun with this. Cinema4D has made the transition from Lightwave for 3D animation a smooth one. Here’s a quick capture of some of the process. As you can see, the whole project took about 2 minutes to complete. I’m that fast.

(Unfortunately, Previous Bryan didn’t think to start capturing until after a great deal had been done. Man, that guy’s an idiot sometimes.)

*edit: To see the print version of this art, LICK HERE. <–(This was a typo, but I found it way too funny to correct)

At the Movies 2009 art

Here’s the finished artwork for LifeChurch.tv’s “At the Movies” series, in which we (legally) watch edits of Hollywood films to find Biblical truths in the stories.

This was a lot of fun and was my first full project since my recent switch to Cinema4D.

In addition to this, there is a fully-animated promo of these elements, which I’ll talk more about here soon.

The Vendor/Client relationship (video)

Ha! Stumbled across this video and loved it. A must for anyone who’s done much freelance work. We should all make our clients watch this before beginning any work.

And if you like this, here’s a similar comic I drew last year. I think it’s kinda funny we both went with the restaurant analogy.

Staging concepts

We’re working on the development of a much-needed new stage at LifeChurch.tv and, though this is extremely preliminary, I thought it would be interesting to see the initial design (with my complete lack of construction knowledge), until we can see what our construction gurus are able to do with the idea. This is from a concept that Mark Dawson and I collaborated on.

My main focus was to create a stage that could be completely changed for a new series with the press of a few buttons (by changing a few light colors and uploading a new graphic).

Here’s the base idea (the blue squares would be large LCD TVs), followed by a few examples of application with various series art or elements. (Click any image for a larger version)
