This spot is nothing ground-breaking except for the fact that it’s the first time I used Cinema 4D on a job (special thanks to Ko Maruyama for his support). I was supplied with a PDF of a logo which I prepared in Illustrator then imported into Cinema 4D, modelled, animated and exported to After Effects where I mapped the wrestling vision to the front faces of the letters in the opening camera pan section (this opening section was actually cut from a teaser I did earlier, where the camera pulls back at the end of the pan to reveal the logo).
Now normally I would have done this using Zaxwerks 3D Invigorator or ProAnimator – both of which would have done a fine job. But as I’m just getting into Cinema 4D I thought it would be a good opportunity to see how the workflow differed from the Zaxwerks products. I have to say I was really impressed with how intuitive it was to model, light and animate in Cinema 4D. Although when speed counts I’ll still be using Zaxwerks for the bulk of my 3D logos and text, look out for more Cinema 4D work and commentary as I become more proficient at using it.
