I repurposed my Friday the 13th animation into an ad for Apollo and Drunken Cinema's screening this coming Friday the 13th.

I am taking another stab at this Cinema 4D logo animation for Friday the 13th.  I made one years ago, but decided to play around with 3D some more.  This isn't finished yet, as I want to have some blood slowly pour out of the "TH" and have it run down the 3.

Here is a render of my work desk animation.  I am having problems with the light causing some flickering which I would like to fix, but for now here it is.

Here are some reference images. I still want to model the chords, speakers, and such.

I really need to force myself to use Cinema 4D more often, if for nothing else, text effects.  I feel that I am lagging behind other motion graphics people due to my complete lack of C4D knowledge.


I whipped up this animation real quick by starting easy and using a simple extruded text effect to recreate the opening title card of Friday the 13th.  I added my own little twist to it, but you get the idea.

As a "Motion Graphics Designer" I have always felt down about not knowing anything about 3D animation, so I am teaching myself Cinema 4D when I have spare time. Here are two things I worked on this week after following a Greyscale Gorilla tutorial. I hope to play with this program a lot more and get better at it.

These animations are very basic, and I am sure in a years time I will be embarrassed by how bad they are, but for now I am really excited about what you can do with this program.  I feel I have reached the peak of my After Effects skills, so I need to learn this shit.

Getting there!

I am in the middle of my very first Cinema 4D creation. I am going to try to recreate the opening credits of Halloween in Cinema 4D with post in After Effects.

Finally teaching myself some Cinema 4D with the help of the mighty Greyscale Gorilla. Lets see what happens....
