Channel 4 Ident Recreation
Recreation of the 1980s Channel 4 ident into 16:9 and 1080p using Blender.
This is a simple keyframe animation rotating the pieces around an empty and then rotating on their own origins. A few extra location keyframes were used to avoid clipping (as can be found on the original) and to match positions in the original source frames.
During the animation the camera changes location and orientation before returning to its starting parameters. This was done with simple start middle end keyframes. To keep the vertical lines and horizontal lines of the logo vertical and horizontal respectively but with some level of perspective along the Y axis it is necessary to tilt shift the camera in the vertical and horizontal planes. This leads to the blocks having distorted shapes when moved out of position (this can be seen on the original) The camera position in the middle keyframe does not have this shift.
