I wanted to stretch myself and tell as story with Motion Graphics.
I decided to do a Civil War scene. It's based on a discussion between Robert E. Lee and James Longstreet, confederate generals, planning their next day's attack during the Battle of Gettysburg. Lee made the call, Longstreet disagreed, and what came to be known as Pickett's Charge failed miserably.
Thanks to Dustin Foster and Bryen Hensley for the mix/VO talent, and Scott Sutter and Phil Thompson for their fine acting!

This is for the 5SP: Fail for Greyscale Gorilla. Used Cinema 4D and a little bit of After Effects for some compositing and color correction. Went to the ol' Rock, Paper, Scissors story for this project. enjoy!
