| Thnx! That would explain why it is so stunningly brilliant. I really appreciate the info Chris. -----Original Message----- From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv] On Behalf Of Chris Zwar Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2013 7:44 AM To: After Effects Mail List Subject: Re: [AE] Vivid - Sydney Thanks for the feedback. I asked about the projections and the only info I got was: 17 Christie 20K projectors in 4 stacks sitting on a 4 storey scaffolding structure at Dawes Point. Projector Company: Electric Canvas. They're using Only View for show control. I've checked the website for Electric Canvas and they don't have any info on the Opera House, which is surprising. They have a write-up on a different projection, but not the main one - maybe they've been too busy working! http://www.theelectriccanvas.com.au They've got projecting onto the Opera House down to a fine art, a few weeks ago they also did projections for a Samsung event that was one night only. The Opera House is a great building for projections because it is white and shiny, yet when they turn off the floodlights there's very little ambient light. I've worked on a few building projection gigs now and the killer is always ambient light - even if the projectors are really bright too much ambient light will kill the effect. So having a building that takes projections really well but is very dark works great.

Is there a "set up" break down video around. The projection is so vivid and bright. We do a fair amount of projection mapping on sets, 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 > > Thanks all for the positive feedback! > > On 26/05/2013, at 2:11 PM, Greg Balint <delrazoraelist@gmail.com> wrote: >> Mind giving us any insight as to how it all went down? how many were on the animation team, and how long you had to create this? > > I'm not 100% certain of the time it took because Spinifex were producing various 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.

The overall concept and creative 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 Opera 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 years 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.

This was produced entirely in After Effects and took me about 3 weeks.

On top of that there 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. > > Cheers, > > > -Chris > +---End of message---+ > To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> > > +---End of message---+ > To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> > +---End of message---+ To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> |
