Tips: Create a Sports Show Open with Boris RED and Continuum Complete

Step 1 PUNCH OUT YOUR LOGO IN 3D Create the 3D logo from still logo file elements, font text and fire elements. Step 2 SPOTLIGHT YOUR TALENT Cut out photos of team players in Photoshop and create star-shaped spline objects with a particle emitter, such as particleIllusion, for the backplate of each player. Step 3 CONTAIN YOUR KEYS Create containers for each of the players and arrange them in 3D space. Step 4 PAN AND TILT Put all containers in a master container and program a global camera move that pans through the team members. Step 5 GET YOUR GAME ON WITH ADDED FLASH Add highlights and flashes throughout the animation to add more excitement using Text, Boris Continuum Complete and wondertouch’s particleIllusion. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND... Boris RED is a very powerful compositing program. The deeper you dig into it the more you’ll find. Don’t be afraid, though. There are plenty of presets and style patterns to learn from. The 3D title and extrusion capabilities really make the program shine. RED plugs right into your NLE’s timeline so it really saves you time and makes it easy to revise or even online the project in HD later on.
