Hi,

We have just completed 4 spots for Discovery Channel UK. We used Cinema4D for modeling and animation and After Effects for the composite and post effects.

Thanks for looking.

(All modeling was completed by HYPA except the Space Shuttle and the Spitfire.)

This is a totally nubie question regarding animation but I need to start somewhere:
In the video clip, many of the objects are quickly "poping up" from a nearly invisible size to their full, final size. Is this just a matter of sizing and positioning everything in their final resting places and then keyframing with the scale tool to give them a shrunken starting point a few seconds earlier on the timeline? Effectively working in reverse?
I just wonder as I have to do something like this soon and don't want to do a lot of unnecessary work.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

It is a matter of positioning your axis in the correct place then scaling the objects up. To create the springy effect, we used the MoGraph module for cinema4D this has a delay effector which helps achieve that. You can always do it by setting more scale keys to simulate that effect.

thanks

Great stuff. I noticed the bridge which is one of your demo samples for MoGraph. Nice smoke on the Spitfire - is that Cinema or Particular?

The smoke is particular.
