Lots of Carlsberg boxes!!
In 2018 I had the pleasure of helping create animations for the Carlsberg internal awards ceromony.
The project had a short turn around and I needed to quickly animate, render, edit, and comp the 14 videos ready for the ceromony.
It was a very enjoyable project, it did require quite a bit of initial planning and RND to make sure I delivered on time - which was good fun too!!

Modular Setup
The key to getting this project to work as well finished in time was building the project in a modular way.
I needed a quick way to reuse the animation and constrain the live action footage and motion graphics to the boxes without having to re-render things.
The solution in this instance since I was using After Effects to comp the videos was to rig the box in Maya so there was a locator in the center, then export out locators from Maya to use in After Effects utilising the 3d cameras and scene setup.
