Looks like Grid Iron’s new program Flow is coming out in the coming months for beta testing out now. Flow is content managing program. It’s not a plugin or something like that, seems like a really great way to keep track of all the assets one uses in after affects, photoshop, illustrator and many other programs.
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.

Another cool one from National Television.
Sidenote, National TV did a great job with their site. If you’re familiar with this blog then you know that I absolutely hate flash websites. Rarely do they follow any of the logic that years of html has dictated and simple things like linking to a “page” gets left out of the coding. So, congrats National Television. For making a flash website thats actually a pleasure to visit and easy to share.
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.
Some great in-game stuff coming from Keyframe. They also have a blog. Thanks for the contribution Ryan.

Sorry everyone, google ads are back up on the site. I know it’s not pretty, but my hosting isn’t cheap and considering I’ve made a whopping $3 in advertising revenue from the day I launched the site, I’m not expecting this to really put a dent in my hosting costs. But its worth a shot.
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. Read more…
