The idea behind the TV idents package was to create a very special mood. All the spots needed a light/energy element that had to stand out. So I had to do a couple of concept frames for each spot. It was a fun project to work on , because I was involved in most of the production stages. I did some of the concept designs, art direction , matte paintings and compositing.
The first design I started working on was for the Tamer ident, where this guy standing on a building was using an energy whip. Here are concepts for the wide version and the closeup.
For the Graffiti spot, I did a design for a 3D "light" graffiti, floating in mid air. The idea was very interesting, and the whole spot came out great. I ended up painting all the graffiti brushstrokes for the shots, that were animated and enhanced in compositing. Here is the concept and animated version.
Here is a selection of other production art I did for the project, from concepts to final shots.
For the football ident I worked on the concept design with George Palcut who also composited it.
