Project:
3D Open & Graphics Package
Designer/Animator: Joe Paccia
Client: Outdoor Life Network
When
Outdoor Life Network (OLN) originated the idea of creating
a generic 3D animation to open a variety of cycling
events featured on OLN's programming roster, they turned
to Palace Digital Studios and Designer/Animator, Joe
Paccia to create the 3D graphics package.
Utilizing
SoftImage, Paccia designed a highly reflective 3D version
of the OLN logo. Paccia spent about four weeks creating
the :30 open with 12 different main title versions and
12 different bumps. For each cycling event, such as
the Paris Roubaix, the Sea Otter Classic and the Liege-Bastogne-Liege,
customized racing footage was mapped to different surfaces
of the logo. As the camera moves across the logo, 3D
animated wheels turn into the "O"part of the
OLN logo. The entire :30 open is built over a moving
footage montage treated with purple, red and blue hues
and cut to a track supplied by OLN.
