Some fantastic editing from DK. Great job.

Really cool Sprint NASCAR spot (what’s up with all these NASCAR posts lately?) but an even cooler case study. Complete with boards, animatics and pictures. You can learn a lot about the process of creating spots like this from case studies. Especially when they are as in depth as 3 Legged Legs. Keep up the good work guys.

Jason White and the team at Lift here in Chicago did a fantastic job with their show package for NASCAR Truck Series on the Speed Network. Very high energy animations, with great some great 3d. Thanks for the contribution.

Some really great boards from Superfad’s CG/VFX Director Dade Orgeron. Sadly it seems these boards for ESPN College Basketball never got produced. But they sure are beautiful. 

Opening title storyboards for ESPN’s coverage of the NCAA championships. CG elements created in XSI and rendered with MentalRay. Final frames composited in Photoshop.

Ok, so wiping out isn’t really a sport. But damn this intro is slick.

One of my favorite production companies Superfad, has created two very different spots for Nascar. First up is ‘Pressure’ a chalkboard animated spot that turned out amazing. I was struggling last summer with a similar chalkboard look for some personal work, and seeing what Superfad did here is intimidating. The wheels look like hand drawn animation while the rest is 3d.

You may remember Gkaster from his previous work for Euro Sport. Well he’s just posted his new demo reel, and though I don’t see too much sports related graphics, his work is simply amazing. And as a fellow C4D user its great to see a talent like Gkaster using it to its fullest potential. Feel free to ask questions in the comments section, who knows he may even reply.

This is awesome. Really great idea, and very well executed.

Maybe it’s the speed, maybe it’s the power, or maybe it’s just the ear-splitting noise, but something about tackling a new 
NASCAR project always inspires a lot of really interesting and fun ideas for us to dive into, and this year was no exception. (more…)

This is just cool.
