About
While working at 27 Design, I was fortunate to join this project.
It's a fund raising promo for an online course teaching the basics of audio.
The course instructors are like EMTs, driving an ambulance to save audio in a project.
I was responsible for
• Rigging the ambulance
• Animating the ambulance drifting by a trophy (00:51-00:55)
Styleframe
Rigging a Car
Everything was built in 2D in After Effects.
Here’s the breakdown of my rigging:
Some ambulances had a side view in one styleframe.
Some ambulances had a front view in another styleframe.
So I collected them all and aligned them together in a separate file.
Here’s the trickiest part:
To rig it properly, I had to find each counterpart at a different angle.
So it could rotate seamlessly, like a Faux 3D.
I used Joystick & Sliders to rig two 180° horizontal rotations.
This rig was also used by my colleagues in other scenes.
Shot I animated below
I got the opportunity to animate this crazily fun scene.
This is an Initial D parody!
It’s rare to animate a drifting car in explainers.
This is one of my favorite projects.
All the hard work paid off once I saw it come to life.
Motion Test - Smoke Line
The video below shows I animated the smoke line.
In After Effects, it’s tricky to animate a curved wave like a U shape.
And I wanted to maintain the line width.
Tried some distortion effects, but I failed.
In C4D, I knew I could
• Animate a helix to make it look like a wave
• Bend a spline to make a curved line
So I decided to jump into C4D to solve this problem.
