Dear AND:
I need your help! For my class assignment, I have to do a "report" on a designer/studio who created the opening titles for a movie.
I'm considering doing the report on "The Heavenly Kings" title sequence designer. From what I can gather from the DVD, the animation was done by Ko Fai and/or Fat Face Production Limited.
I'm specifically trying to find information on the designer/studio who did the animated sequence during the movie titles for the "The Heav...Read more
this term, we're continuing to use Cinema 4D for our 3D work, but we're using it in a completely different way. to be honest, if feels like we're using a totally different piece of software!

though i technically have a test tomorrow, the vast majority of my work for this school term is over. two of what seemed like massively overwhelming final projects have sucked the last drop of brain juice from my cranium and have wreaked havoc with my sleep schedule.
but it's done and i'm satisfied with how things came out. really proud of my classmates during our final presentations today. everyone pulled out some really impressive work. not bad for our first foray into the world of 3D and working with a new p...Read more

have almost finished this 3D model for a class project.
it's a Pioneer CDJ-1000 MKII. for the non-DJs, this plays CDs but with all the manual control of a traditional vinyl turnatable, plus a bevy of digital effects. for a higher res look, click here.
here's what a real one looks like:<...Read more
