Cinema 4D
This year we decided to jump into the 3D world by adding Maxon’s Cinema 4D to our motion graphics tool shed. Although we’d already been able to dabble with Zaxwerks‘ 3D Invigorator & ProAnimator plugins for After Effects, we had been a little frustrated with their limitations. Now six months after getting a hold of [...]

15. June 2009
I can only imagine the preparation for this. I love the thought behind where to put the camera to capture this creation. I love that people interacted with it. I love that God creates people to think just a bit differently so others can experience what’s in their heads.

31. May 2009
Ken Wilson from NewSpring Twittered this link today and I had to share it. It’s an article about the technological challenges that Pixar had in animating its new movie “Up” (i.e. what it required to replicate the physics of 10,000 interdependent helium balloons). Great example of the disconnect that often exists between how the average [...]

28. May 2009
Tripp used to be on staff with the media department here at North Point. He is one talented individual and it’s always great to see what he is up too. Funny video. I have no idea what it was for or how he got in to see Truitt but if anyone can do it, it’s Tripp. [...]

19. May 2009
All right, it’s my first post so I’m feeling the pressure to make this a good one. This past year I have had the pleasure to produce a series of promotional spots with our missions department Global X. Our goal on this project was two fold, first of all we wanted to create a brand [...]

18. May 2009
Here’s a side of what we do that you may not normally see, unless you’ve got some North Point DVD’s lying around that you got from our Resources department. Ryan and I get to focus a good bit of our energy on DVD content creation, which includes designing menus like those seen below. Rather than [...]

15. May 2009
Last weekend I read “Zag!” by Marty Neumeier. Neumeier runs a consulting firm that helps companies create strong brands (http://www.neutronllc.com) The book was great and a very quick read. Neumeier admits that it was intended to be a quick read. He knows you’re busy and doesn’t want to bore you with a litany of examples [...]

14. May 2009
There is more on this over at Motionographer as well as an interview with it’s creators. Pretty cool special effects from a couple of guys.

13. May 2009
For those of you at Drive this year, we announced an exciting opportunity for North Point to bring DriveEurope to Prague! As a staff we are pumped to be able to invest in church leaders who are working and ministering all across Europe where only 2.4% of people consider themselves to be Christians. It [...]

11. May 2009
One of the best decisions that was made at Drive ‘09 was having our very own Jarrett Stevens (DJ Tanner) spinning the records 30 minutes before the 3 main sessions began. Of course, he needed his own walk-in graphic. So of course we made him a little something. Special thanks to Nick Holloman from [...]
