Headphones - When a making-of is as good as the production

Headphones - When a making-of is as good as the production

Paul Clements is a talented British motion designer. I highly recommend checking out his portfolio — it’s incredibly inspiring — as well as his Twitter if you want to stay updated on his latest work.

Headphones is his latest 3D animation, released a month ago to promote the headphone line from Ministry of Sound.

A Supercharged Cinema4D Making-of

What I loved most about this project is the making-of Paul shared a few days ago:

In just two minutes of breakdown, Paul indirectly reveals his workflow and shares his creative approach to this piece. Tutorials are, of course, incredibly helpful for learning and understanding, but sometimes a short making-of like this can teach you a lot about an artist’s working process — in just a few minutes.

The main takeaway here, in my opinion, is the constant play with offsets. Just like in After Effects or any animation software, the temporal and spatial offset of a simple repeated animation can simulate a complex scene — and it works perfectly here.

Hope you enjoy it — and thanks to Paul for sharing! ;)
