This is a project I was commissioned to work on for a fundraising event hosted by Singer Songwriter Ryan Leslie.

I took their logo and reanimated it for the event, to be used as a bumper or for anything else they may need.
I’m still working with the client to finalize sound edit and final cut. But I think it turned out quite nice.
I learned some pretty cool shortcuts for rendering HDRI and Lights in Cinema on this project.
I think it needs sounds how about you?
