Introducing the Centrica Carnivale

3D or AE?  How about 3D using AE! At the beginning of 2006 I created a conference opener for Centrica that looked like it had been made with a 3D animation package, however practically everything was created using only After Effects.  This is part one of a three-part series that looks back at the Centrica Carnivale animation and demonstrates the techniques that were used to create the distinctive 3D look.  While not intended to be a detailed step-by-step tutorial, the series looks at all aspects of the project- from the initial client brief through to final delivery and gives insight into the “real life” stages of an After Effects project.

This is great, Chris. I’ve just added a link pointing to this page from the After Effects Help section on 3D layers:

Wow!! Good work!!
10 days where spent animating. How much time did you spend on the pre-production though?
