final video (with sound)
As a huge Coldplay fan, I had a lot of fun recreating the album covers of their first three albums in 3D as a little personal project. Their oldest album, Parachutes, recently turned 25, and I wanted to honor it, along with the next two albums they released, which are also some of my favorite albums ever released!
I used Cinema4D to create the entire animation, and ZBrush (Sculptris Pro), to create the head.
The motion graphics tools in Cinema4D are second to none, and I had a lot of fun exploring them.
I got a lot of great advice throughout the development of this piece from my good friends Aaron Zhang, and Duncan DeMichiel. They helped me get fresh perspectives and techniques to push this project to be the best it can be.
