EJ starts with a ripple effect created via the Collision and Jiggle deformers in conjunction with Rigid-Body dynamics. He next shows some tricks for creating HUD or FUI style graphics using the Proximal Shader, Mograph Selections and Animated Noise.

For the Newton Awards, EJ covered a football player with boxes using Cinema 4D's Hair system, and added secondary animation using MoGraph. He also used PoseMorph and IK to quickly animate rigs for frame elements.

Finally, EJ shows how he used Fixed Animation Mode and Time Offset to control the animation of clones in a court projection for the Sacramento Kings.
