Hollywood Movie Titles

Today’s tutorial will explain how to make the “TRANSFORMERS 3” flying logo style. We will start with the modeling and animation technique of the letters in Cinema 4d. Then proceed with camera movement and the construction of the interior of the “O” letter, with a hi-tech coating. We will complete with the compositing in After Effects.
See your space! TRANSFORMERS. ;)

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.

    I am sorry to ask this, but where is the things that were suppose to be flying inside the “O” and “F” letter? It looks blank to me o.0 ….sorry but it doesnt not look like the real transformers 3 title effect, it looks more like a video done by amateurmedia.net…anyway, thanks sir

        Dear Puvan, within the letter O,
        you can insert also the video from the original with the masks, or other.
        I explained the technique for insert inside the O letter, what you want.
        A bit of fantasy ;)

    Yeah i just realised after watching your tutorial. Thankyou very much Antonio. :)

  • Naveen

    Hi Antonio, the preview looks awesome! Like the texture too. Great job!

  • josh

    i really cant follow it with the voice over being computerised. Wouldnt it just be easier to do the voice over your self?

    • Nikita

      I think Antonio may not have very good English skills, so he had to use a translator going into a computerized voice to have an English VO at all. Great tutorial!!

      • Fancy

        does it matter?…..
        I don’t think so, People were visited just for learning AE not for hearing tutors good or bad english.

        Anyways, my 100 thumsup to these tutorial…. :)

        Great Job Mate…… :)

    Hi, Just wondering what the cuts are for and how to make them, please answer asap and Antonio, i love your videos :)

    It was a good effort, but sorry this does not look like the Transformers title sequence. The actual sequence had moving chunks not glass like fragments when it first comes together.

    Good shot though. ( Not being a dick )

    If I join as a premium member, will the source files be the direct files for after effects? Also, once I have the source files is there an easy method to just change the text, for instance if I wanted it to type a date, instead of Transformers, or would I have to modify much of the animations. Thank you.
