Thanks! here is the quasi-final version: https://vimeo.com/76907344

     So they brought me a chart designed in powerpoint and asked me to
animate it in 3d. I tell them great, get me the assets, so they have
someone rebuild it in illustrator. When I get it, it's a complete disaster,
poorly organized, hundreds of layers, fake 3d gradients, no layer groups
etc. So I have to rebuild it completely in AE. Took me about two days.

     It's all built within AE. Raytraced solids from extruded shapes,
vector logos, lighting and camera rig, etc.  I needed to work entirely
inside AE for a number of reasons, primarily speed. I would have loved to
do it in C4D but I'm not as fast with keyframe timing, plus flipping
between programs can be a headache. Render times being the third slower
component. For quick raytracing AE renderer is very well optimized for my
graphics card. I also have to say the CC timeline layer and grid snapping
saved me hours of alignment headaches.
