Chateau Cardillo is a Cocktail drink composed of Pear Juice, Champagne and and Raspberry Liqeuer.
This motion graphic was to created in the form of a graphical recipe inspired by Splash photography.
Here is an over view the shots:
This first shot is a still render using a combination of Vray, Realflow, Maya and Photoshop. I decided to take advantage of the 3d layers in After Effects to create depth with the rendered water droplets. The still render was split up in PS and animated in AE. This saved me time rendering 300 frames in Vray which would have been slower due to the reflective materials.
Andrew Kramer aka AE guru from the website http://www.videocopilot.net/ (Translucent Glass). Very versatile technique that creates the illusion of the text coming from behind an object.
The above shot was also animated in Maya with a 3d camera. I wanted to get a close up shot of the champagne in slow motion. Took ages to render :|
Maybe the easiest shot of them all yet looks quite complex. This shot was composed of two stills that I created alpha channels for. I then used the alpha's to animate the displacement which creates the
3d illusion.
3d text brought into Realflow whilst inside a box. Filled the box with water. In AE I reversed the footage to create a reveal animation for typo. I was originally using Blender and Cycles for this shot but came across a problem with the rendering. The results were quite nice but the noise and speckles were time consuming to get rid of. There are ways to get rid of speckles and noise in Cycles but I didn't have the time. I really want to use Blender for a project for the fluid Sim :)
This is an important shot because it's the finale. I tried to create this shot in Blender but had problems with creating caustics :( . I used Maya, Vray and Photoshop. Most of the compositing was done in Photoshop then taken in to After Effects to be animated. Those are suppose to be jelly beans on that plate by the way.
This shot is very difficult and I need to experiment with it. The idea behind this, is to get the typography to write itself on wet glass. Most of this was done in photoshop whilst the writing effect was done in After effects.
This is the tutorial I used to created this effect.
Thank you abduzeedo
That's pretty much it. I'm going to try and do something with Blender and Sketch up next time.
