Motion design brand manifesto for Cegid

Cegid approached me to create a 3D animation illustrating their brand vision. I adapted their script into a motion film with them and designed a 3D style that fits their brand guidelines.

Rémi Loger and I animated the film, using a range of motion design techniques to put each message into motion. Leaning on Arnold's shading in Cinema 4D, I generated fully procedural compositions for both the shapes and the colors, while keeping full control over the art direction.

To bring in the titles and text, I used 3D camera projection to place the typography inside the abstract 3D compositions. That let me fit a lot of 2D text into the animations while keeping it grounded in the 3D, with object masking and shadows falling on the titles.

Early experiments

A few early tests of 3D graphic compositions, while I was researching the style for the film.
