Fun with Modo 401 and Shake: Mock Universal Logo.
Universal Studio’s 1970’s Mock Logo. Whilst learning Apple’s compositing software, Shake, I thought it’d be a challenge to recreate, from scratch my favorite Universal movie logo. All the elements were remade, all the star fields, the Globe, rings, all of it, and it wasn’t until doing this I realised all the elements involved in the original. As always all of the 3D animation (the globe mainly, the easy part!) was created in Luxology’s Modo 401. Took a good couple of long days, but I was learning as I went, and was quite a bit involved in getting it to this stage. Hope you like it. (This is also posted on the 3D bit’s ‘n’ Bob’s page)







I saw the trailer for Moon about 6 months ago… I think, my grasp on time is loose at the best of.. er!.. times… Anyway, the first thing that struck me was the design influences, and how the ‘in movie’ tech graphics especially reminded me of 2001: A Space Odysseys, you know the control panel stuff. The sets, vehicles and mechanical designs brought back memories of Space: 1999, Silent Running, Alien and even Star Wars (A new hope). The story itself looked like an episode from The Twilight Zone, so all so far looked promising. But it wasn’t until the end of August that my Wife and I actually got to see it, and the wait was so worth it.
