The Kraken - Game Day Finals

Personal Project

Octoberr 2022

With my family being huge fans of the Seattle Kraken hockey team, I wanted to show some team spirit and animate together an ad for their team. I wanted to push my skills to the limit with this one, making 3D graphics along with trying out sound design. I'm very satisfied with how it turned out!

Behind the Scenes

3D Logo

As a challenge to myself, I learned some Cinema 4D to breathe life into the 2D logo of the Kraken. I extruded an SVG file of the Kraken logo, then used Cinema 4D's physical renderer to create the animation with basic materials.

[data-wf-bgvideo-fallback-img] { display: none; } @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) { [data-wf-bgvideo-fallback-img] { position: absolute; z-index: -100; display: inline-block; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; } }

1x1 Social Post

In addition to a riveting 16x9 aspect ratio, I also created a 1x1 version to post on various social channels.

Reflection

This project was an absolute blast to create. With the 3D element blending in seamlessly to the hockey puck, the Kraken logo was taken to the next level by adding a drop shadow and different foreground and background layers. Combined with my shot at sound design, I was able to flex my creative freedom by taking my skills to the next level.
