Cinema 4D First Legit Use

So...Graphics and animation are pretty cool, too. So why not give them a try? I used a program called Cinema 4D to make this one. It's an audio reactor (as usual). I'll try and do something different next. But there are so many different possibilities when it comes to this, and it's easier becacuse you'll end up with the same goal, rather than a completely open project.

This thing took a while considering I haven't really used this program much before. Tutorials are the best things ever in terms of anything video. Sometimes the tutorials length are one of the main factors of time. This tutorial was about 45 minutes, so it took a while. I used a tutorial from Greyscale Gorilla. I'll definitely do more stuff from their tutorials. They have the coolest stuff.

Steps (simplified):
- New project
-Create sphere
-Create texture for sphere (reflection, etc.)
-Add cloner, make about 50 spheres
-Add music effector
-Set music effector to track
-Customize settings for effector for LONG time
-Choose colors
-Add delay effector to cause spheres to remain reacted for a few extra moments
-Duplicate spheres and cloner to create background particles
-Eliminate reactors for background particles
-Customize settings of background particles to make them resist falling
-Add vignetted background
-Add lighting
-Export as .mov from Cinema 4D(oh my was this annoying)
-Move into After Effects
-Re-add audio track
-Export as .mov from After Effects
-Upload to YouTube

So this is how it turned out. Alright, I suppose. Definitely gonna learn more of this program and upload more videos of it soon.

Also: hopefully before holiday break, a few friends and I will finish a parkour video. Finally. The first. You shall see.
