1st Ident

I have managed to get all my ideas to come together for my first indent, as mentioned in the posts below i wanted to have the logo skateboarding (as an extreme sport.)

I added my own twist to the indent and feel it has worked pretty well.

Watch the video below and ill explain more after



There are a few tweaks that i think need to be done to make it a bit better but for the moment i am rather happy with the result.

Rundown:

The materials that i used were a combination from the web and Photoshop made images. I wanted the main focus to be on the character so i did not add too much complication to the background.
















The sound effects were taken from the console game skate 2, this was really handy as I was able to control the game and make all the diffrent sounds that i required and if you have played the game you will regnoise some of the sounds in my video im sure. I also used some that i download for some previose work to just make it more dramatic.

I am thinking about adding a low level instremental song to see how that pans out if i stumble upon something that i like i will post it on the blog but dont count on it, im very picky!!!

Apart from that everything in the 3d Animation was made out of quite simple shapes and symbols.

The skateboard was the trickyest part as it was not a square and havd to be rounded i managed to accomplish this by taking a square cube and adding loads of points and slowly shaping it round and bending both edges then adding texture and wheels was very simple.

Problems that i came across:

When i initially made the skateboard i started to animate it to do a kickflip (rotation) looked pritty good for my first attempt until i realised the bottom of the desk was not there and went invisible when facing the camera. As this does not happen in real life looked as you can imagine strange and just totally wrong!!

But with a little paitence i made a new deck for the board and it managed to kicflip with ease.


So yer thats my first ident pritty much completed my ideas for the seconds 2 are both locked away in my head but they are going to show of some more skills that i have learnt such as the reactor tool and some funky ideas.

Keep you Posted....
