I've been continuing to work with cinema 4D which isn't proving to be as difficult to get my head around as I thought it would. Here is a short video of an MTV ident i made.

i've started to learn how to use Cinema 4D. I thought this summer break would be a good oppertunity to get to grips with it so im ready for the new year. I think having skills on a 3D application is going to open up so many possibilties not only in motion graphics but in web and print design.
Below id a short video which I might use for the intro to my showreel. I think text is so important in design and 3D fonts are very popular at the moment.

I have been working on an E4 ident. The theme of the ident is war films. I have taken references from several different war films and given them an E4 spin. I used films including Top Gun, Apocalypse Now and Platoon. You can watch the video and look at some stills below.

I have now finished the Matt Johnson photography site. There are some screen grabs below. The main problem i encountered was keeping the size of the site to a minimum which at first was impossible due to all of the photos on there. I've got around this by using Simple Viewer which loads the photos externally.
The client was pleased with the final site.
