Countdown 3D Motion Graphics

Playful keyframing in C4D 

I'm creating this New Year countdown animation as a symbol of graduating this year, marking the beginning of a new chapter, much like New Year’s. It’s my final project for the LCC degree show, showcasing everything I’ve learned. While I’ve mostly worked with 2D animations in After Effects, I’m now using Cinema 4D (C4D) to explore 3D motion graphics. 

I’m excited to see how 2D concepts like morphing, transitions, and dynamic effects translate into 3D, along with using C4D’s textures to add depth and make the animations more striking. This project stems from my current passion for keyframing in C4D, and I’m eager to see the results!
