What an incredible job by the NBC graphics team for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Sleek, elegant, dramatic, everything the Olympics is. I’m glad to see such high profile graphics being created in Cinema 4d. David Barton, the Senior Designer for NBC Sports recently posted the opening animation with a few wipes, lower thirds and studio graphics. Looks like he’ll be updating his site soon with more styleboards, samples and reels. So bookmark his site, or check back here.
