			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is my first official blog post, and i feel it appropriate to explain the current logo for Pond Media LLC.  The whole reason why I started filming and editing goes back to when I was 12 years old and wanted to make a skate video to get sponsored.  That never happened, but I modeled my logo after the &#8220;death lens&#8221; used to film skateboarding, which is shown below.</p>
<p><a href="http://pondmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/deathlens.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-156" title="deathlens" src="http://pondmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/deathlens-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><a href="http://pondmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/vx2100-death-lens.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-155" title="vx2100-death-lens" src="http://pondmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/vx2100-death-lens-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>As I have continued to learn Cinema 4D, I decided to create an animated 3 model of the camera with my logo composited onto the screen of the camera.  To do that I need to first model the camera from scratch.   Here is the wireframe view of the camera from C4D</p>
<p><a href="http://pondmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/386164_2752485767031_1104240176_33050824_1141971592_n.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-154" title="386164_2752485767031_1104240176_33050824_1141971592_n" src="http://pondmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/386164_2752485767031_1104240176_33050824_1141971592_n-300x177.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="177" /></a><a href="http://pondmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/386164_2752485767031_1104240176_33050824_1141971592_n.jpg"><br />

</a><a href="http://pondmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/386164_2752485767031_1104240176_33050824_1141971592_n.jpg"><br />
</a>The next challenge was going through the steps of integrating C4D into After Effects which I found on this <a title="greyscalegorilla.com" href="http://greyscalegorilla.com/blog/2009/10/how-to-export-your-scene-from-cinema-4d-to-after-effects/">tutorial</a> from greyscalegorilla.com.</p>
<p>To do this, I had to export 3 elements. (and install a AE plugin for it read the C4D created project file)<br />
-Full Animation<br />
<a href="http://pondmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/vx2100_web.mp4">vx2100_animation (not composited)</a><br />
-Alpha Matte of the Screen (black &amp; white Matte to be used in AE)<br />
<a href="http://pondmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/vx2100_alpha_object_1-youtube-720-mp4.mp4">vx2100_Track Matte</a></p>
<p>-After Effects Project file which includes 3d tracking data &amp; lights data to effect the image composited on the screen</p>
<p>Once in AE I needed to import the screen elements created in PS &amp; AI and create a composition of them to be precomposed into the master composition.   After they are laid out in the composition, I plug that comp into the main composition, resize, and adjust the lighting on the screen.  This is what the final project looks looks like!<br />
