The PixelRocket - After Effects Templates

900 Degree DNA

It’s been a busy two weeks. I’m just wrapping up a video project for a Steel company. Several companies were now under one corporation, but all sharing the same “DNA.” This was one of several concept frames for the overall look of the DNA. Cinema 4D was used for rendering and the composite was done in After Effects.

Get out and ride

Two bikes + two cameras + 1 hot summer day = 1 cool cycling video. This was a blast to shoot and my pal Todd did an awesome job on the edit. We wanted the look to convey the heat of summer without having to “CSI Miami” the footage. I dropped in the logo tag, and we were done. Check it out on Vimeo.

Logo Animations

It’s been a busy few weeks, and I’ve been working on a few logo animations. Both of these were a blast to make. The ethix logo was modeled in Cinema and rendered using the HDRI Lightkit Pro from GSG.

Knockout

Sometimes I get to break stuff. Not literally, but in 3D. The request was for a looping background featuring this TKO logo. I had been waiting for a chance to use the explode plugin for Cinema 4D and this was a perfect opportunity. After rendering the 3D version, a second, 2D animation was added to lengthen the overall animation. There were no sound effects with this since it would be playing over and over, and over, and over…

Pitch boards for web video

This is a set of concept style frames for an online how-to video series. The concept was to integrate all three services while still making each section unique. Each service has a color palette and I wanted to maintain that throughout the opening sequence. The final logo reveal will be included in this set once the project is completed.

I’ll post more panels as they are completed.

Charts can be cool

I was asked to make a pie chart but make it “cool”. After some quick research, I decided to use a Pie chart vs. a bar graph since I was only dealing with two numbers. The data fields have been left out of this render, but you get the idea. Sometimes the best solutions are clean and simple.

Plasma Logo Reveal Template

A recent revostock addition

This After Effects Template is a logo reveal made with particles and plasma streaks swirling together to reveal a logo or just about anything. It’s a combination of several different experiments and motion tests all wrapped up into one effect. There are no extra plugins needed as this project uses the basic After Effects plugins, and the lens flares are pre-rendered. It works great as a stand-alone animation or as a text reveal.
