An example of what one of the outputs looked like before stitching.
8H3D Brief:
8H3D came to me wanting some 3D content to help demonstrate their Lenticular Screen technology (kind of like those 3D movies but without needing sunglasses). They provided a storyboard of 9 scenes and a special digital camera setup from which to start from.
Solution:
I gathered reference for the generally low-poly style I was going for (I knew there would be a LOT of rendering) and upon approval crafted over 9 scenes of 3D content for use on their screens based based on the storyboards they provided. Each scene needing to be rendered 9 times which was a technical challenge. Most of the scenes were simple 3D text/title cards - and frankly look terrible without the screen - but with the screen you get a nice parallax effect.
Each time I rendered and combined the scenes (using their proprietary video combiner) I had to check how it looked on the screen. Sometimes it would appear out of focus because the content came to close to the cameras, and other times I wouldn't get a strong enough effect because it was too far. This constant testing was very time consuming to start with, but once I got the distances figured out in Cinema 4D it ran smoother.

An example of the blurry/optimal range of my 3D scene found through trial and error.
Process:
All the 3D graphics were made with Cinema 4D, using Adobe After Effects for compositing and the Premiere Pro for the video editing/exporting.
