I decided to post about this as I wait. I’ve updated my reel but I’m having trouble getting it uploaded. I know there’s probably millions, perhaps billions of people confused as to why they can’t watch it right now, but I assure that it will be back up soon.

I made a new page where I will start uploading animations that I create in MoGraph. I find myself constantly messing around with MoGraph’s cloners and effectors, and I just wanted a spot where I can put anything cool I design.

It took awhile but I posted my next tutorial. I use Cinema 4D to make “Super Text” in this one. I would define Super Text as kind of like Superman’s font but not quite. It uses 3D lettering with a vanshing point to create a similar effect that you would see in a comic book perhaps. This tutorial involves a lot of the basics of Cinema 4D, combined together to create a cool text effect. This one deals with extrude NURBS, bend objects, lights and cameras, and more. I hope you enjoy it and can use it.

My mission on these tutorials is to show people a new design or result that I developed on my own. Since a lot of my skills are a product of online video tutorials, I try to create new techniques to not only expand my abilities but of anyone else who wants to learn.

My paper rip effect tutorial has reached nearly 800 views in just a couple months. Pretty good considering I really didn’t do anything to promote it. Thanks to AE Freemart for finding it and linking it up.

So head on over to the tutorials page to create some Super Text. I added the ability to leave comments to the page, so feedback is definitely appreciated.

Check out my first tutorial, it shows you how to create a paper rip effect in After effects. It’s a cool technique I’ve used in a few car commercials I’ve done. Check out the Tutorials Page to watch it. Sorry I’m not the best at these yet, I’ll get better at them in the future, so excuse my long-winded explanations.

So my site is officially “launched” now, not that it hasn’t been online and somewhat functional since May I think.

Welcome to the blog section of my site, which came with my web hosting service. I’m not going to be posting about how I’m feeling or what happened today. This is where I’ll post updates of my work and links to cool motion graphics and visual effects stuff I find online every so often. So check back with me every so often or grab an RSS feed from me if you want to see what BIGMIKE is designing.
