Final Product What You'll Be Creating

This entry is part 17 of 33 in the series Hollywood Movie Titles

Hollywood Movie Titles

Continuing our Aetuts+ Hollywood Movie Title Series, today’s tutorial will explain how to make the “Pirates of the Caribbean” logo animation. We’ll start in Cinema 4d to make our base text animation. We’ll then head over to After Effects where we’ll complete our project with animation of ornaments of the skull for the final composite. This tutorial is dedicated to the memory of my father. If you’re in trouble, remember that there is always the Parley. ;)

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.

    Good Work ! Antonio .

      The Illustrator file doesn’t explain the technique to get the bevel.
      I am preparing a new tutorial to explain the technique for irregularly shaped fonts, as Harry Potter.
      Coming soon ready.

      • Alex

        I look forward to.

  • pepitoto

    I’m really sorry but i don’t really like your tutorialS:

    1) no creativity: you’re just recreating things that already exists

    2) nor problem solving: it’s just a “press this button and then this other one” tutorial. There is nothing about how to use options in real projects, just how to use them in this one.

    3) holy crap! i can’t put up with this box voice.

    Speaking english by yourself, even badly as I do, would improve a lot the quality of your tuts. At least people would see them till the end ;)

      Hi pepitoto,
      Thanks! Without wanting to, you have done me a great compliment.
      The “Hollywood Movie Tile series” has the purpose to replicate the movie title, and explain some techniques to achieve this.
      Before the creativity, is necessary knowledge the techniques. Because you can have all the creativity possible, but without technique you can’t get the result ;)

      • pepitoto

        I’m sorry but I don’t see any technique taught in here, just which button to press.
        Saying to give a value to a property doesn’t teach what does this property…

      I have explained many details in the previous tutorial of the “Hollywood Movie Title Series”.
      You will find many answers to your questions there.
      If you do not understand something in particular, let me know.
      Cheers Antonio

    Hi Antonio,

    Thanks for taking the time to provide another tutorial.

    Any chance you can upload the HD version of this? The current video file is virtually unwatchable. No resolution.

    Thank you!

      Forgot, you can see the tutorial in high resolution directly into the player, clicking, after play, the “HD” button. ;)

    Great tutorial! Learned a lot. Also, how did you make that lens flare? I know it’s a preset, but did you buy it or was it one you made in AE? Really cool, but would like to know what was involved in making that. For those that don’t have C4D (like me), the same text effect might also be achieved via Illustrator.

      Hi Jason
      The lens flares used is made by the Optical Flares. There is not a preset like that, I’ve created this for the animation.
      Unfortunately you can not get this logo in Illustrator. You can get it in Photoshop. In my site, I did a poster, with an effect similar to that of cinema 4d.

    Hey there this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
