Ident 2

This ident is one my favorites. Although it is relatively simple, I feel the spotlights create a perfect mood for a boxing match.

I started off my modeling the boxing ring, this is just basic shapes with a cloth modifier added on top to created the look of canvas. The ring ropes were made by adding thin cylinders and using the bend modifier to make them look like drooping rope.

The stands used were the same stands used in my 1st ident. I added an omni light and brought the intensity down to luminate the scene slightly and then added 1 purple, and 1 white spotlight to create the effects. Using autokey, I made a key frame at the beginning and moved the lights, then added another keyframe. I continued doing this until I was happy with the ident's length. I moved each spotlight separately so their movements were completely different from each other.

I then added a target camera to sweep over the stands and focus on the Sky Sports logo in the middle of the ring. This logo was created by getting a large image from Google and placing it on a white background in Photoshop of the correct size. I then added it to the ring through the material editor. Sound was then added in Premier and the completed ident was exported.
