Beautiful Losers/Designs

This project I created for my Digital Ilistration Class and for Greyscale Gorilla‘s 5 Second Animation. The original idea was to parody a movie poster that would promote the class(It can be seen on my DeviantArt Page). There also was another 2 part project of the call to create a gif animation and a tutorial. The movie I choose was Beautiful Losers.

Process

I created a tutorial explaining my process with screen shots and video screen recordings. The screencast videos made the pdf to big so I had to take those out.  My original intention was to create a 3 part tutorial with step one dealing the the background information, part 2 dealing with Cinema 4D, and part 3 with After Effects/Integration with C4D. Due to time constraints and my overachieving mentality on this project,  I was not able to create part 3.
