For me, Cinema 4D Camera Depth Of Field settings and how they relate to what is and isn’t blurred in a Cinema 4D scene was a little confusing. Front Blur, Rear Blur, Start and End, Target Distance and how they all work together isn’t immediately obvious.

Music & Sound – Strange Arrangements


Project: Strange Arrangements
Production: Weareseventeen
Agency: Weareseventeen
Festival: OnedotZero
Music & Sound: Radium Audio

Background: We collaborated with Weareseventeen on both this Strange Arrangements film and the “behind the scenes” which was created and to be shown at London’s onedotzero festival in 2010. Our role was to creating the sound and music for the film. Which is based on a series of moving sculptures based on the surrealists approach to art.

In this tutorial, I show you how to recreate the Discovery Channel Cube Effect that is the main part of a recent Discovery Channel Rebrand made by Royale. I have been trying to figure this out for a while now and I always had trouble controlling the boxes in such an organic, yet specific way. It wasn’t until I started playing with the shader effector that it dawned on me that this was the solution. Anyway, check out the tutorial where I also use a Cloner Object, the Plain Effector, Object Buffers, Ambient Occlusion and Specular Highlights to get this animation ready for composite.
