Cake Studios Uses CINEMA 4D for Two NFL Network Graphics Packages

Take one part MAXON’s CINEMA 4D, add two parts challenging projects – create quickly under high pressure – and you’ve got Cake Studios. Headed by founders Jim Steinhaus, Cake’s producer, and Mannix, creative director, the up and coming Los Angeles-based design studio is fast becoming known for doing inventive design work using CINEMA 4D .

Fairly new to the industry, Cake hadn’t yet picked their software of choice when they were hired by the NFL Network for a couple of high-profile jobs. First up: Cake had to create interstitials, bumpers, wipes, and more for a television broadcast of the annual college football all-star game, the Senior Bowl; second: Do the same for a special segment about NFL quarterbacks called QB Quandary.

The only caveat was that the NFL Network required them to use CINEMA 4D. “The NFL Network project offered us the perfect opportunity to expand our use of CINEMA 4D and dive headfirst into the software,” says Steinhaus. “It’s exciting because we’re constantly evolving as a company in terms of what we can offer and we’re seeing the creative advantages CINEMA 4D offers over other platforms.”

The Making of the Mill’s Over-the-Top Pantech Spot in Just 3 Weeks

Mill editor and longtime skater Ryan McKenna pored over skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing videos for inspiration while working alongside creative director Mario Stipinovich, design director Jeff Stevens and art director Emmett Dzieza on the spot. The result is a stylized world that artfully combines illustration, cubist geometry and motion with the help of MAXON’s CINEMA 4D, Autodesk’s Maya, After Effects and a little bit of Houdini and XSI.
