Join EJ Hassenfratz for an in-depth discussion in this video Animating the camera move, part of Mograph Techniques: Creating a Bouncy Cartoon Logo in Cinema 4D.
- So one last thing to do to finish off our animation,…and that's adding a nice sweeping camera move…that frames up our letters as they bounce in.…What I'd like to do with this camera move…is have it framed up and zoomed in…on the letters S and P,…and then have it pan to the right…and zoom out framing up…the rest of our letters jumping in.…Let's go and add a camera.…Let's just click this little Viewport button…so we're looking through it.…Let's go to Object and let's change the Focal Length…and give this camera a wider angle lens.…
So I'm gonna change the Focal Length to 25…and the Sensor Size to 50,…and then I'm just gonna zoom back in here.…Now you can see that adds a nice depth perception…with that wider lens.…We have our logo framed up to its final resting point,…so let's just do that.…It looks good right about there.…We can then go to, let's go to Frame 60.…and this will be where we'll hit some keyframes…for our resting points.…
So for X, Y, Z Position and all the Rotation values,…we just hit some keyframes…and then we'll go to ...…

3/19/2015Author EJ Hassenfratz uses CINEMA 4D to extrude 3D text from Illustrator letterforms and animate the letters individually utilizing the very versatile Jiggle deformer, which applies fun, unique movements to each one. Then he adds bright, cheerful textures and lighting to the scene, and composites the final effect in After Effects, incorporating some finishing touches that will make your logo seem even more playful and expressive.
