I wanted to make some animation to the logo itself. In the first 2 idents I played around with the camera so there is enough of that already.
My vision was to make it come rolling against the screen and then stop.
Honestly I had no idea how to create this. I started out playing with the pbomb and the wind. That was not giving me what I really wanted. Maybe I wasn´t using it right or something.
After alot of thinking my rommates Olafur and Hannes recommended to me to use a plugin called RayFire.
Rayfire website:
After a little tutorial from my roommates I felt I could I was good enough to achieve what I wanted.
I created a plane and added a grass material on it. Then a created a sphere to be around the whole scene. For some reason I feel better working in a scene with a sphere or a box around it.
I imported the logo. Then i realized i had to create the logo blowing away from the screen and then reverse it using adobe premiere. I tried using the curve editor but didn´t get it to work.
I created a bomb and a wind and added them into the rayfire tool with the logo. After some tweaking I got the logo rolling away from the screen in a perfect way as i wanted.
Now I had to put some lights in. I made a Target spot light and a line which followed the logo rolling away. Then I constrained the light to the line and edited the timeline so it would be above the logo at all times.
Finally I created a path for a camera coming from above and to the logo.....since I was going to reverse everything I had to have my brain in "reverse thinking mode". :)
After I rendered it and reversed it using premiere I saw a problem. The logo was way to dark in it´s final position. So I went back to 3d max and added another light which pointed at the logo. I made it gradually decrease the light from frame 1-10 and after that none light at all.
I think this is my best Ident so far. Hopefully I will make more in the future and get more experience
