IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION FOR THIS SITE, PLEASE MAKE A DONATION. It'll only take a minute or 2 of your time and it'll encourage me to continue updating this site. Thank you. I'm a poor college student. Violins please.Getting well over 6,000 visitors a year, it would seriously cover the hosting bill if each of you donated as little as a penny! :-) (Though, naturally, you're encouraged to give more :-D )

3D PRODUCT & LOGO ANIMATION
Spring 2002

For our second project, we had to use Adobe After Effects (our other projects are done in 3d Studio Max). Granted I haven't explored all the features offered, I find it to be more or less a glorified Power Point. Anyway, for this project I decided to make a logo for "Bored Games." Freshman year, my friends and I created a new board game (and I came up with ideas for four future creations). So, I figured "Bored Games" could be our marketing company. The opening and closing animations (pictured here) were made in 3d Studio and the speech cloud and "z's" were added post in After Effects. The mid section with all the games, their logos, descriptions, as well as other goodies was entirely put together in After Effects. As they have yet to be copyrighted and/or trademarked, I'm not posting them here. SORRY!
