My contribution
I built most of the idents, taking a base system and rebuilding it for each strand — Crime, Fitness, Business, Adventure, Restoration — mixing 3D elements with cut-out 2D within the graphic layout.
The camera was animated in After Effects and imported into Cinema 4D, where I added the 3D elements; the renders came back into After Effects for compositing. One shared camera keeps the 3D and the flat graphic moving as a single space.
I then animated the promo openers in the same style, and cut the sizzle reel for the rebrand.
About the project
Station IDs and promo openers for Nova Action, a Czech TV channel. The rebrand turns the channel into the ultimate Mancave: bold colour, large typography and a fast, fluid animation style. Taking inspiration from instruction manuals, the Station IDs are a blueprint in motion, each one conveying a different subgenre within the channel.
