El Monstero: The Monster Caught At Riverport Ad

[drumlug13]

I've got some friends that put on a Pink Floyd tribute concert that has just grown to insane proportions. They're playing at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater this Saturday (about 20,000 seats) I made this ad for them with AS7.

Great job.

Whoa. How did you do the unfurling banner at the beginning?

Thanks sbtamu

Whoa. How did you do the unfurling banner at the beginning?

It's built with the image and banner inside a bone layer. I added about 80 bones in a grid pattern (pointing down). I used lots of extra points in the banner artwork itself. I have bone strength turned on just barely. Then I animated "Scale Bones" with each of the bones. I have bone dynamics turned on and you just have to keep tinkering with it til it looks like a big piece of cloth.

I'm going to mess with that one a little more to try to get it to drop a little better. You can see that the Image, Circle and Banner to fall at a little different rate. It would probably look better if the Image of the Pig was reconstructed as vector art, but that would take forever

Cool, and weird.

Ha! Yeah I guess if you're not from St. Louis you wouldn't get the whole pig thing. There's a local radio station, K-SHE 95, it adopted a pig character called Sweet Meat as it's mascot back in the 70's. This was a blend of that and Pink Floyd's own pig imagery with a river twist. I also dropped an Albert Pujols jersey in the bottom of the river because he made me sad.

You have to smile watching it. I know a lot of people have seen this promotional animation. (Maybe Pujols will see it too.)

(Maybe Pujols will see it too.)

If he decided to take in a concert in the Midwest on his All Star break (since he didn't make the team this year) there's a slim chance he could have come across it. Live Nation has been playing it on their big screens before concerts these last few weeks. Still it's a whole lot like a little fly calling a great big bull a jerk. (Not that I'm bitter or anything)

[3deeguy]

It appears Live Nation has given the little fly a megaphone. His batting average has come down somewhat. There's a good chance he talks to his old teamates.

[drumlug13]

Ha! Yeah, usually some of the Cards would stop in the shows that run in the off season around Christmas time. If you're bored check out the local news on the show. I couldn't possibly be more proud of these guys. It's gonna be a cool show tonight
