I made a Tube
I made a tube in Cinema 4D.
I will now answer your questions about the tube:
Q: I’ve watched the tube and I’m confused. What exactly does this tube do?
A: The tube doesn’t really do anything per se, it is what it is. It moves, and then the pieces inside it move.
Q. I see. How did you go about creating this tube?
A: Well I was trying to come up with a different way of presenting/containing/revealing some text in Cinema 4D. Instead of having the letters just sit there, I put them in a tube that kind of looks like those things at the bank or the basis for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I used MoDynamics to get the right feel for the letters to behave in their new vacuum sealed world. Then I altered the position and rotation of the tube to shake things up and have the contents bounce around. I added some marbles inside there because I felt like it. Then I added reflections and materials in order to make it look cooler and we arrived at the tube which stands before us today.

Reel Update: July 2009
I added a few clips to my reel. I also picked a less obnoxious music track. Watch it and get your funk on.
