Occasionally, just something cool…
I was looking for something completely different this morning on google and pretending it was work when I came across this article over at FXguide. The new S4C channel idents will be one of several different live action scenes but will have vfx elements that will change according to the character of the announcer’s voice, much like the levels on a mic or stereo. All of the compositing is done in real time and every single one will be different as it goes to air. A fantastic idea, flawlessly executed.
If you like hearing about how things like this are done, FXguide is an excellent resource and they do a great podcast for the VFX Show over on iTunes. Podcasts are simply the best invention for those people who, like me, walk a dog twice a day.
