Initially, this commission was for a 'simple' show closer revamp for the new NBC Papua New Guinea Government station. It quickly evolved to become a whole Station ID & then a News opener. I had to incorporate aspects that were relevant to local populations re- colour, motion, the Kundu drum, cultural traditions etc. These manifested in the signature use of the 'paint pigment' effects at the end as a dynamic transition device, where the traditional use of paint splatters & daubs becomes transformed to the modern slick 3D colours of the new logo seen through glass. Old meets new.
Finally, there was a request to incorporate the various PNG provinces (as flags in the bg)- it is always 'interesting' from a design aspect to try & please everyone ; )
I used C4D R16, AeCC for post & VrayforC4D in various passes for the 3D animation. The paint splatter effects were stock film clips mapped to camera planes from C4D & used as mattes in AeCC
