Animated stage background

This June and July I had a full load of teaching at libraries in places as close as San Francisco and as far away as Santa Rosa. AND in August I was focused on working on graphics for the Performing Arts Night for the youth center I teach at. I teach a digital class and so I was responsible for filling the screen behind the performers with imagery.

One of the most elaborate videos I did was the one posted below. The performer asked for “after the rain” and so my first thought was a view looking from a urban/concrete building at the rain drenched plaza.

The first video has a lot of elements in place with the 3D elements done in Blender3D (the building, ground, railing) with the 2D elements were added in After Effects (rain, splashes, mist, and the buildings).

And here is the final version…

I was really pleased at the final result.
