The Lion King

  • KTM Productions - Rob Legato, President, KTM Productions, Inc., working on The Lion King in collaboration with VFX studio MPC, visualized his virtual studio using Cinema. “Cinema 4D’s ease of use empowered a hands-on, experimental approach to model, compose, and light The Lion King that creatively took the film to a new level of photorealism,” Legato says.

Spider-Man: Far From Home

  • Perception - New York City-based Perception has deployed Cinema 4D to conceptualize, design and animate various futuristic technologies in Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films. “When we design holographic future-tech for a film like Spider-Man: Far From Home, our team utilizes Cinema 4D from the very earliest ‘sketches’, to the finished shots,” says John LePore, Chief Creative Director.

Avengers: Endgame

  • Territory Studio - The Territory Studio creative team in San Francisco created more than 40 screen graphic visualizations that appear throughout the mega-hit film, Avengers: Endgame. “Cinema 4D is essential to our workflow allowing us to ‘play’ with formulas and simulations in 3D space,” says Marti Romances, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Territory Studio, San Francisco.
  • Cantina Creative - Cantina Creative, based in Los Angeles, has used Cinema 4D to meet the 3D technical complexities on several MCU features. “Cinema 4D was invaluable in allowing us to efficiently embody many of the trickier storyline elements for Avengers: Endgame from the particle system within Tony Stark’s bleeding-edge suit to the invention of time travel,” says Stephen Lawes, Creative Director, Cantina Creative.
