spinning prism project and time is running out! lol
HELP! THE CLOCK IS TICKING!!
I have just been thrown a project at the last minute.. Need to start on Monday and have done by Wednesday! My dilema is that I am not sure that I can do it.. Soooo.. I have come to you as my rescuers! I hope you can hear my cry for help!!
The project is as follows:
White lines will create a sort of wireframe for the 4 faced prism, the faces of the prism will be colour filled and the opacity knocked back. The Prism will start at 0% opacity spin on and build up to its full reveal.
The coloured beams will then shoot into the prism and as they do the prism spins to its next face where another beam hits and so on.. then a spectrum of light will shoot out and the prism will start to spin as a mirror ball type thing.Any ideas, suggestions, examples, tutorials anything.. will be most appreciated!!
Thanks..
Matt (long time reader, and tutorial studier!)

um, what part, specifically, is giving you difficulty?
If you are just not sure where to start, I would consider gathering some reference images of a prism and light rays. You could possibly build a simple geometric prism in 3d, or possibly shoot it live and composite the rays in post.
Also, if the clock is ticking, you might want to start tonight and work through the weekend. When in doubt, I usually work long nights in the begining of a job, so I can be in a better place towards the end.
Best advice, though, is to make sure your client knows that you are having difficulty actualizing this. Perhaps they can give you some kind of reference, or a few days extension on the job. Better to tell them now than on Tuesday.

I have been given a 3D prism which is a major help..
So i guess the part i’m looking for help on is:
“The coloured beams will then shoot into the prism and as they do the prism spins to its next face where another beam hits and so on.. then a spectrum of light will shoot out and the prism will start to spin as a mirror ball type thing”
Mainly the mirror ball part and the shooting of the rays of light into the prism faces..
Took your advice and started the project already.. thanks MSTLEGER.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
