We’ve gotten another letter from our boys in Copenhagen at Thank You Motion Graphics – Digital Design grads Ryan Uhrich and Boca and Foundation Visual Art & Design alum Todd Smith.

The trio all worked on a program package for Danish national broadcaster DR: Boogie Prisen, a music awards show. Todd breaks down who did what: “Myself initially for cinematography and camera rigging, Ryan for 3D supervision, and Boca for the bulk of the work and tireless hours from concept to mastering.”

Todd’s last dispatch to our fair blog was about some stop-motion work done for MTV Denmark, and this has a similar old-school-meets-new vibe.

“We moved away from the typical flashy graphics one would expect seeing the MTV Video Awards or Teen Choice Awards in favor of an aesthetic that would inspire kids to be creative,” he writes. “The result was a rough approach, where over three days we bombarded our photo studio with illustrations.”

“They were hand-drawn, stenciled, and painted on the studio floor, animated in stop-motion through a two-camera setup (one rigged directly overhead and one at 45 degrees to the left), brought into Cinema 4D, and mapped onto a CG environment. The piece was rendered using HDR projection and v-ray for C4D.”
