The New School - Giveaway
@newschoolstudentlife held a sweepstakes in March of 2019 to win some metro-cards. I was one of the winners and when I went to pick up my prize, I asked them if I could create the graphics for their announcement of the winners. With their permission, and the actual New School Metro-card in my hands to model from, I created these images and videos in 2 days! It was my fastest turnaround time!
My instagram story highlights show my progress as I was creating the cards and the animation. Below are the files I created for the announcement, they didn't end up using all of them, just the "Giveaway Winners Chosen" and the video with all of the winners' handles.

I used images I took of the metro-card in the process of modelling the card, then I UV'ed the image back onto the mesh I created!

Within the 3D space I set up the text in the center and made a simple backdrop. I used Autodesk Maya's MASH to create the random cluster of metro-card models I created. I tried my best to make the rain loop even with it's randomness. A simple bright, harsh light shines prominently in the scene.

For the scenes with the Instagram handles, I created a mug that has The New School logo and my JW.Berry on it, with some coffee or hot chocolate or what have you, filling the mug to the brim. The texture for the wood and the Mac Pro Laptop were found online, I do not own those. I used the same MASH system I created for the raining cards, to make this random spread of cards. I had to tweak the settings and lighting for this scene to make a perfect balance of quality and render time. I got these high quality renders to take 30 seconds to render out the 5 second animation!

This short video was rendered for all of the other handles and for the video with all handles altogether. My intention was for @newschoolstudentlife to use this video on their story and add a GIF sticker from Instagram of some celebratory content over this clip.
