New College Hockey Weekend Graphics for 2012 – Part 2

Here’s the reel of the hockey graphics from this past season. This season everyone on the hockey crew did a great job and really took things up to a new level of excellence for the broadcast in many areas. Thanks for another great season everyone!

I created all of the 3D elements in the montage using Cinema 4D and After Effects

I’d also like to thank fellow designers/Avid Deko operators Collin Alligood and Jeffrey Hendrix for their hard work in making the graphics come together again this year.

Fun with particles and tracers in Cinema 4D

Played with some particle emitters and the tracer object in Cinema 4D over spring break while working on a project. This turned out kind of interesting so I made it into an image that could be used for a science conference.

New College Hockey Weekend Graphics 2012

It’s annoying when blogs I like to read don’t get updated very often so I thought I should release some updates on recent projects. I created these broadcast graphics for Charter College Hockey Weekend, which is produced entirely by students from Bethany Lutheran College.

My fellow students who work very hard to produce the broadcast. Great work everyone!

New sidebar graphic with player profile and stats.

Picture-in-picture graphic used for coach/goaltender matchups, as well as interviews.

Full-screen graphic with new motion backgrounds, check back for more on those later.

IOGraphica

IOGraphia is cool app for recording where you mouse travels during the day. Lines trace the path of your mouse, circles indicate where the mouse stopped; bigger circles means your mouse stayed in one place longer. Like when you had a coffee break.

The above image is what 2.6 hours of work I did in Adobe After Effects looks like (I know it was 2.6 hours because the app handily records this information in the default file name when you save the image).

I’d definitely recommend trying it out. You can download free from their site:

iographica.com

Not sure how useful it is, but if you enjoy the ability to see data like this visually you’ll be sure to find it most amusing.

I would be interested in seeing if it could be used to study how efficient different program’s UIs are.

Here’s two more I recorded:

Premiere Pro – 46.6 minutes

Avid Media Composer – 1.2 hours
