[spoiler alert] The Jester Wins

Recently, Adverblog linked to this animation from Adobe. Be warned, it feels like the longest download of your life, but it’s worth it.
The animation, titled “Adobe Cards,” was created by Goodby Silverstein & Partners to promote Adobe’s CS3. At first, I assumed it was done completely with CS3 products. However, after some digging, I discovered it was created with Cinema 4D, which is not a part of CS3. It’s not even an Adobe product. Weird. I think they think they make up for it by linking to a portfolio site of projects done with CS3. Whew. This makes me feel a little better for including some Jackson Pollack prints in my personal portfolio.
I showed “Adobe Cards” to fellow Avicom digital art guy James and asked him about using Maya to create something like this. While he’s convinced we could achieve similar effects using Flash and Photoshop, we both think Maya is just as powerful as Cinema 4D. It would certainly be an interesting experiment.
It’s always fun to come across examples of work that are good enough to make me “wish we had done that.” It’s even more fun knowing that we could.
