After building a new website, I really wanted to make an animation for the homepage. I made a 3D animation in Blender with the name of my logo flying in, but it really didn’t do much alone. So, using After Effects, I added to it.

The animation pauses, explodes, then spins to show off some of my work. After the videos begin, the After Effects animation shatters, and the balls spin back to resume the Blender animation. The music is royalty free stock techno music.

This is the first draft animation. I plan to re-do the services in Blender then put the two videos together in After Effects. I am not happy with the After Effects shatter effect. Blender can do a more random looking break. I also want to make all of the texts 3D. This took about 3 days time to make, rendering the dferriman.com in Blender took over 3 days with Cycles.
