Final Product What You'll Be Creating

This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series Cgtuts+ Hollywood Film Studio Logo Animation Series

Today we’re extremely excited to launch “The Film Studio Logo Animation Series” by Antonio Cerri here on Cgtuts+. Back in October we gave you the chance to vote on which studio logo you wanted to see kick off this series, and although it was an extremely close battle between 20 Century Fox, Dreamworks Animation SKG and Paramount Pictures. 20th Century Fox was victorious in the end, and Antonio Cerri has been hard at work ever since re-creating this iconic logo animation in Cinema 4D and After Effects. And today we’re bringing you the first part!

Welcome to this first tutorial in the “The Hollywood Film Studio Logo Animation Series”. After 75 years, the iconic 20th Century Fox logo is still a reference for many 3d artists. So today we’ll analyze the historical aspects, the style used, and how to easily create some of the elements in the scene (capitals, moldings, etc..) in Cinema 4D.

Stay turned for the second part of the tutorial which will be releasing very soon! Happy new Year!! Antonio Cerri ;)

I am a freelancer in web, graphic and motion design for about 12 years. When he was young, I was always fascinated by the world of digital visual effects and 3D Motion Graphics, with a focus on impacts futuristic hi-tech. My passion for this work has grown increasingly, thanks to continuous research, but mainly thanks to experimentation, mixing all the graphic visual disciplines "Photography, Design type font, sound effects FX, etc.." For me it is very important, that at the end of writing work, they remain surprised and satisfied. For information and questions, please contact me through my website.

    That was a very good tutorial by HAL 9000.

    Antonio I really admire the idea, skills and hard work that went into this tutorial, but I must be frank with you, the CG voice is atrocious. It makes what would otherwise have been an incredible tutorial really annoying. I won’t take away the real artistry of the content, however I do have mention that I had to stop and walk away a couple of times because of the voice. Thank you for your hard work.

      Hi Gokhan
      The second part of the tutorial will be ready by January. ;)

  • Dean G

    Really cool tutorial, looking forward to part too and other similar ones especially the universal ident. I agree with most on the voice over. not very inspiring perhaps just use your voice next time your written English doesn’t seem to be bad. just an idea.

    Also could do with more detail on how to use the boole tool.

    Cheers for the wickid tut

    Hi Antonio and when the second part of the Hollywood film studio logo animation series – 20th Century Fox

  • Steve

    Hi Antonio, I’ve tried to watch all your tutorials because they are exactly what I need to learn but I cant stick with them because of the text to speech! Please please please do some with your own voice – I don’t care if your English is bad I would learn anyway because I would watch. I hope you don’t take offence because none is intended and beginners like me are grateful for any help but you do interesting projects and I would love to do them too. Peace x

  • Tatum

    I find it difficult to follow this… I’m an intermediate C4D user and this is the next stage of my development… i feel it’s missing the rendering part so that it’s applicable to all people. Greate start, great finish… just doesn’t seem to be a middle…
