For a complete overhaul of both YouTube and Twitch channels, Karim "Yotobi" Musa tasked me with the making of a new live intro. The goal was to fit with the rest of the branding, specifically the Twitch channel's branding that uses yellow and black colors, also used for the gaming-focused YouTube channel, "Yotobi Games".
The 2D text animations visible in the TV transition to a full screen, proper color, view midway. Even though they are 2D, the actual text, backgrounds and transitions are all realized in 3D space, this wasn't necessary but it allowed me to experiment with 3D-to-2D type of designs that are animated in a software (Blender) that I'm mostly familiar with.
For a full experience, the opening is visible at twitch.tv/yotobi.
