One of the projects I recently wrapped up was the show titles for an award show. The awards revolved around voice activated device tech, so things like Alexa, Portal, and a bunch of others I've never heard of. Some of the sponsors included Amazon Alexa, Microsoft, Samsung and a bunch of others that again, I'd never heard of.
The client had a basic concept of paint splatters. That was pretty much all they gave me and then they just let me run with it. Can't really ask for a better situation than that as a creative. I usually like some sort of direction, but I appreciate the freedom to design and expand on the concept. I think it works out better for everyone that way. You wouldn't tell a chef how to cook your food would you?
So I used a ton of fluid simulation in Cinema 4D via a plugin called Realflow that specializes in fluid sim.
During R&D I played around a lot with how to get interesting splashes and how I could make my digital "paint" look interesting. Here's a few images from that early exploration.
There was also a lot of animation testing to play with what the fluid would actually be doing.
In the end I went with a consistent theme with some variations in flow and colors, but the overall flow was some sort of splash or flow into a bullettime like slow motion, then the titles would animate on. Something along these lines.
All in all it was a really fun project.
In other news, I bought a bunch of CCC. As I mentioned in a previous post, I was thinking about going in on that one since it's something I could see myself using and manually curating as things progress. So if you're a creative type and I follow you, make sure you're using the #creativecoin tag so I can have some stuff to curate. Be on the lookout for 
I might get a bit deeper into this in it's own post, but looking at the value of the SE tokens and the value of the upvote you get relative to your investment, if you want to earn on Steem by posting and curating, it makes little sense to invest in Steem proper. Even if you weren't really into a tribe, and you just sold everything you earned for Steem, you'd make more by investing in a SCOT token, then selling all your earnings for Steem. That's a bit depressing...
Anyway, hope you like my paints that aren't actually paint!
