"The Slot" Teaser - The Comedy Channel

This was one of several teaser spots for a new comedy sketch show on "The Comedy Channel" on Foxtel. Except for the footage on the phone and the full frame graphics, everything was created in 3D. It was the first time I used Blender 3D in production. Before that, I only used it to model or experiment. Render times were quite good with 2-3 minutes per frame in HD.

I was struggling with some of the screen warping setups initially. Cinema 4D has a great collision deformer that makes this kind of thing quite easy. Andrew Price and

@jeff_lhama helped out over twitter to get the setup right. Thanks guys!

The phone model was from Raphael Rau.
Most textures are from Poliigon.com.
