ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: 


This animations shows the decay of a street especially of a wall.
It contains many effects that speeds up the decay. 
Note: It has 4 parts connected with simple blends made in Cinema 4D.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: 


The scene was entirely built in Cinema 4D.
The grafities from Lawnmover. (http://lawn.home.pages.de)
The posters from the Matrix, the fifth element, antz and saving privat ryan.
All objects from me, execept from the car and tree.

1. I modeled the Cj Logo. I used a free bones & sticks plugin to build a visible
mesh. It's hard to identify this because for rendering i used scene motion
blur. It takes 57 hours to render to complete animation.
The mpeg consists 800 frames * 5 times Motion Blur. 
Next you can see an implosion created from explosion and using time control.
Then a rotating coke flys into the viewer range and the camera is following. The
coke drifts against a lamp und rolls onto the street.
The camera zooms out.
2. After the night followed the known morning. Some new items are added to the
scene f.e. dustbin, poster and graffiti. The light changed completly. The
camera begins to moving to a new position and it starts raining. Cinema doesn't
support ground fog now. I must use a 3D-Shader to simulate the ground fog. The
tree in the background conists of textures and spheres.
3. In third part new items are added, too. The camera change the position and
prepared the last part. The new items are posters, waste, leafes, graffities.
The leafes from the tree change the color to brown. It's the sign of autumn.
4. Now the camera pushs to the wall and a great part is broken down. Then it
starts snowing and a car lose control and slides against a wall. A great
explosion followed.
