Is there a "set up" break down video around. The project= ion is so vivid and bright. We do a fair amount of projection mapping on se= ts, and it is always a problem to make bright enough. -----Original Message----- From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv] On Behalf Of= Chris Zwar Sent: Sunday, May 26, 2013 4:26 AM To: After Effects Mail List Subject: Re: [AE] Vivid - Sydney=20 Thanks all for the positive feedback!

I'm not 100% certain of the time it took because Spinifex were producing va= rious bits & pieces for different projects - including at least 3 building = projections for Vivid if not more - and I've got no idea how long everyone = was working on the different bits. And there's always other projects going= on as well. In regards to the Opera House projections, it was broken down into sections= that were worked on mostly by individuals. The overall concept and creati= ve direction was done by Jonny Old (one of the Spinifex Creatives), but it = was completed well before I started. It was quite a big thing for the Oper= a House projections to be awarded to a local Sydney base company, as in the= past it's always been given to overseas agencies. Spinifex were invited = to do it this year based on the strength of work they'd done in previous ye= ars for other buildings. The opening music section was completed solely by Jamie Tufrey using Cinema= 4D and After Effects - I'm not sure how long it took but probably at least= 3 weeks. The pinball section was animated in 3DS Max by at least 2 3D artists (maybe= 3?), then composited in After Effects although the comping was minimal. A= ll of the animated lights in the pinball section were manually animated lig= hts in 3DS Max! The Neon section is the part I was responsible for, so it's very flattering= to get Brian's feedback. This was produced entirely in After Effects and = took me about 3 weeks. I'm currently editing a video tutorial on how I did= it all. The light streaks after that were produced in Cinema 4D and comped in AE, a= nd I'm not even sure how the polygon section was done but I think it was do= ne by 1 3D animator in 3DS Max. The skins / chameleon section was done in Cinema 4D - all mograph stuff - b= y Dan Harkness. I don't know how long it took but probably 3 - 4 weeks. =20 The dancers were shot against greenscreen at Spinifex and edited in After = Effects by Will Skinner. The core Spinifex studio team has about 3 full-time 3D guys, 3 full-time AE= guys, an AE / Nuke / IT guru and 2 Creative Directors. On top of that the= re are a few of us who are regular freelancers so on a typical day there's = probably up to 15 people floating around the studio.
