Well now,
this is very preliminary.Thought I would post some insight as to how I am making this.
Starting another video.
I had a scene file I saved from who knows when that reminded me of this song.
(See attached image 2) Makes me think of a door or a hole in space.
I could not seem to make anything out of it, then used it to make an image texture.
Began messing about.Then had the blue rectangle ring and tried to use it.
I did think of using a door/gate to open up into something at this point.
I was originally trying to make these rings appear in a starry space and travel with turns and curves with
camera following.Using cloners and emitters Dint pan out like I hoped.
I then tried doing it with a Rectangle Spline with a Sweep Nurbs circle spline,,
--- this did not appear to look as good as the image texture to me.
the scene just begins to develop......
Using Photoshop,I took an image of a Wrought Iron Gate,
created a selection of it and made it a path and export as .ai
to use as spline in c4d.
Concept is forming. A cube representing us/them/we/you/I or a point of view or place in the cosmos.
---thought of adding more to the cube,but no ideas yet
Cube is seeeking something and runs into an obstacle, then obstacle opens up to reveal....
At this point of the video, I have been imagining a galactic zoom out from the bright light.
---from light to system to galaxy arm.....whether I can make this Idk yet.
This is as far as I have gotten...making it up as I go.....any ideas,concepts,suggestions are welcomed.
Also see video description
Scene Set-Up
Have an emitter with Plane textured with Blue Ring image.Aimed at Cam.
Have another emitter with a Volumetric Light with Linear Fall Off adjusted.
--creates the Light Pulse.Aimed at Cam.
Have 2 Cloners with Blue Ring plane one above the other and cumulative sizes adjusted
--which the camera flies thru.
The Gate is a Spline with Extrusion hypernurb.
('2 Solid Black Planes as backplates to the Gate Splines.
('2 other Omni Lights with Linear Fall off to catch the planes(blue ring image)
--as they get closer to the cam.
Posting this is also a means for me to motivate to continue it.After the SW's wip#5....felt as though I should
try and get the fire and enthusiasm back and re-spark some creativity.
Since I like this song so much and it's nostalgic properties, I may not have a choice XD.
Thanks for watching.
Regards,
Notes for next update.....Thought of trying to use Pfrag to fragment a sphere
with other effects....maybe to make the bright object fragment and reveal something else
inside.opted not to do it.Also, thought of a neat light and shadow with vol lights and inverse Vol light and merge 2 spheres, one of light and one of shadow.

I watched it the first time without sound. I imagined it with a sort of "We control the vertical..." type voice over. The music certainly caught me by surprise, when I found my headphones.
Transition from Streaks to Space re-rendered in AE and it was worse than the Sony.
Totally messed up the sequence,,has that gradient low rez effect.
Tried doing the Planet break up using a Pfragment node/particle,but the Inverse Light effect
would not work with it.I could not get it to recognize it.Ended up just breaking a sphere with Explosion Efx deformer with piled on textures.
The Sphere clip took it seemed 4 ever to render, so its a first run also.
Used an Atom Array and a proximal shader with Added noise in Luminance channel...
And used a Luka noise I think that was scaled down to like 4% on the Y axis,,
animated and added movement x slow and y more slow....then realized it was way to fast after
viewing the render sequence ,,and slowed down an aspect during render to see change.
A couple of Good Tuts i came across...
Wireframes-http://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/topic/85641-tutorial-wireframes/
Thinking Particle Transitionhttp://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/topic/83913-tutorial-thinking-particles-transformation/
I used the sphere mesh,.loop selection and made edges into paths...animated a light w/ flare
on the paths.....just see how it looked also.
Right now Have no ideas on whats next
regards,
That song is a real blast from the past!
