Bahrain TV intro



This is an animated intro made from scratch for a programme on Bahrain TV. This entire Intro was done from After effects, this is my first After effects project. I had some help from one of my colleague 'Rayjan Solano' to help me guide around the software.

I had to supervise the chroma shooting for the TV host thanks with the help of the camera man 'Ajith Nair'. The 3d calender and the logo transformation was done by senior 3d animator 'Samir Mairif'.

Hope you guys enjoy it !!!!!!.
