Opener for School Of Motion’s new C4D course “Ascent.”

Gunner is big fans of Jesse Kassels loose perspective in his illustrations so we asked him to draw up some frames for us. What he didn’t know was that we were secretly planning on recreating his illustrations in 3D!

Ascent launches straight from basecamp and makes its way into GPU Rendering, Texturing, Fields, Dynamics, Rigging and Advanced Animation. All of which have been secretly incorporated in each of the scenes in this opener.
