In nuce: As a follow-up to this year’s Siggraph, at which Maxon was present with its The 3D and Motion Design Show, the associated live recordings have now been released as YouTube videos – among the prominent personnel is: Eric Say. The man is the founder and creative director of the motion graphics agency Gameday Creative, which claims to have over 40 years of experience in the TV and broadcasting industry. Some of Gameday Creative’s well-known clients include HP, CBS, NBC, Verizon, Red Bull and Dr Pepper. In the tutorial video, which lasts just under three quarters of an hour, Eric dares to build a bridge between Cinema 4D and After Effects, shows some tricks and tips on how artists can achieve attractive compositing and focuses his presentation on multi-passes and compositing. The leitmotif of Eric’s presentation is look development.
In toto: Beyond this, Eric provides insights into the status quo of the motion graphics industry. Eric begins by explaining that artists who know how to work with Cinema 4D are currently – and will continue to be – in high demand in the motion graphics sector. The background to this: More and more advertising spaces are showing animated content. Eric says: “It’s a great time to be in this profession!”. The creative is a graduate of South Dakota State University, where he completed his degree in motion graphics, animation and advertising.
