ABSTRACT
I f you said the words motion graphics a few years back, a flying logo for the nightly news or a sports spectacular might careen across your mental TV screen. While those kinds of things are still a large part of the broad definition, motion graphics is becoming more inclusive, organic, and exciting minute by minute. Seen on a TV or movie screen, DVD, kiosk, or website near you, these animations fill the viewing space with everything from type to video, stills and illustrated elements, 3D models and 2D layers, and bugs (a historical reference to the movie Seven, a fabulously rich example of movie title graphics). This chapter will emphasize making and animating interesting elements for motion graphics in CINEMA 4D.
