Made using Cinema4D on September 9th, 2016.

Our teacher asked us to make a video revealing our names from left to right, with a moving spotlight and a moving camera, in front of a checkered floor and a starry sky, with swishes and squiggles behind the text, that was exactly 90 frames long.

I felt it was so regulated as to not allow much creativity. But then I got over it.

We also collectively bargained with him to increase the time limit, and he agreed. It wouldn’t have worked if 3 or 4 of us didn’t already have projects that were too long.

I made this for Digital Design class in my Sophomore year. There are a few rough edges… It was my first time animating with keyframes. Before learning Bryce, I had only animated a short film with Alice 2.2, a drag-and-drop introduction to programming and animating.
