3D200 | Promotional Video
All assets in the promotional video and print campaign are textured, lit and animated using Autodesk Maya, rigged using Mixamo and compiled using Adobe After Effects. 3D200-3 is my first animated 3D project with the primary focus on learning the animation and render workspaces within Autodesk Maya software.
Creative Process
The brief required a 25-45 second 3D promotional video for a streaming service featuring 4 genres the service has to offer and a infinity curve ribbon to use as a whiping mechanic between scenes. Furthermore the brief requires a rendered still surrounded by 3D models representing the different categories as a promotional print campaign.
I chose Youtube Music, a music streaming service, featuring LoFi, Podcast, South African Braai and Exercise music playlits as my 4 genres. I took a narrative approach showcasing the multiple areas of one's life where Youtube Music can be used. Using found models, Mixamo for rigging and Maya for texturing, lighting and animating I created 4 fully emersive scenes that the camera flies through. The intro and outro in done in After Effects.
Takeaways
This project taught me how essential time management is when having to render 3D projects and not to underestimate time consumption of UV and texturing when working in 3D space
