Discover how CINEMA 4D's powerful capabilities enable Claudio Jeno to visualize and turn ideas for bumpers and game graphics into a reality on a tight deadline. In this presentation, Claudio demonstrates how he used CINEMA 4D to create concept art for the 2010 World Cup. Next he demonstrates the process of turning a 2D Illustrator logo in an animated title for the Miami Dolphins "Inside the Fins" show. Claudio demonstrates animating symmetry and layering simple elements in another piece for the Miami Dolphins. Finally, Claudio demonstrates how he used AtomArray plus MoGraph PolyFX, Cloner and effectors in an ident for Univision.

CINEMA 4D's sophisticated features help Colin Sebestyen realize a diverse range of stunning animations. See how he used L-Systems, and several other tools to build his impressive repertoire. In this presentation, Colin demonstrates his use of CINEMA 4D Sweep NURBS in a music video project for Snoop Dogg. Next, he demonstrates ProjectionMan and Camera Mapping in a project he did for the Cut & Paste competition. Colin provides an extensive explanation of MoSpline's Turtle mode and L-Systems while demonstrating a live backdrop created for Miamisburg Color Guard. Finally, Colin briefly demonstrates how he used C4D content in Quartz Composer and VDMX to create a live 3D VJ-style presentation controlled through midi for the hip-hop music maestro Edison.
