CinemaParadiso, written and directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1989. Its "Love Theme," written by Ennio Morricone with his son Andrea, has been embraced and interpreted by artists and ensembles across genres, including Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, BBC Orchestra, Chris Botti, Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden, George Colligan, Josh Groban, and Roberta Gambarini.
Cellist Yo-Yo Ma was among many who recorded the music from Cinema Paradiso; he remembered the composer this way in a post on Facebook: "I'll never forget the way Ennio Morricone described music as "energy, space, and time." It is, perhaps, the most concise and accurate description I've ever heard. We'll truly miss him."
The 1988 release, Cinema Paradiso, is a story about love: of the movies, of a young man for a young woman, and the love inherent in a life-changing friendship. It tells a story through flashback of how a famous Italian filmmaker fell in love with the movies as a young boy in the years after World War II, mentored by the projectionist in his hometown cinema.
Morricone composed his first full movie score in 1961, going on to a career writing for move than 500 films, as well as other works for orchestra, chorus, opera, and songs that have been covered by Andrea Boccelli, Celine Dion, and more.

A year ago I had the joy of graduating from Cinema Makeup School with my lovely silicone severed head, inspired by the incredible Dusty Ray. Thank you to Andy Schoneberg, Mike Spatola, Podly James, Vaida Mikelenaite and the many teachers and interns who helped guide me through this course. It was one of the most memorable and affirming learning experiences I've ever had!
I am extremely grateful for my life, which gives me the opportunity to communicate with people who influenced me since childhood through the famous movies they worked on! Thanks to Cinema Makeup School which gives students and graduates the opportunity to attend such events and the chance to meet the best of the best in their business!
I graduated from my dream school on Friday Cinema Makeup School! This has been one of the greatest opportunities and best experiences of my life. Being surrounded and taught by such creative and influential artists in the industry have been incredibly inspiring. Thank you to all the instructors, staff and classmates that were there supporting me everyday.
The first time I ever enjoyed attending school. I looked forward to this moment for so long, and my time here flew by like nothing. A school full of talented individuals that I learned from and created many unforgettable memories. This dream would not have been possible without my mom.
I graduated from Cinema Makeup School! I have no words to thank everyone who was with me this year! It was the best choice of my life and I learned from the best teachers in the film and beauty industry! Thank you for the best year of my life and for all the knowledge you taught me.
I attended Cinema Makeup School this past year and loved every day of it. I took the complete track which included all of the classes they offer, and I am coming away with a ton of knowledge and network. The class sizes are pretty small so the teachers are able to help students individually, and answer any questions they may have.
Bring down the Luma Spiral and set it to Luma Matte. We want to work with these elements in turn so that we can be more particular with how they play with the scene as a whole. Having full control over each piece of our composition is ideal for creating this time of artwork.
For the Ribbons, we used the same color palette and reversed our cyan and fuchsia from the background element (so cyan comes in over a fuchsia background and vice versa). Then we bring in our Shadow and Wireframe (just barely visible) to add some highlights and texture.
I hope you've learned a lot so far, and if you really wanna really learn Cinema 4D? Check out Cinema 4D Basecamp, part of the School of Motion core curriculum. And if you're already comfy with Cinema 4D and want to take your 3D skills to the next level, check out Cinema 4D Ascent which will teach you the advanced 3D techniques that will make your work stand out.
In Cinema 4D Ascent, you'll learn to master marketable 3D concepts in Cinema 4D from Maxon Certified Trainer, EJ Hassenfratz. Over the course of 12 weeks, this class will teach you the fundamental 3D concepts you need to know to create beautiful renders and tackle any task a studio or client might throw at you.
Blender and Cinema 4D are pretty tough competitors and have two very different target audiences when it comes to features in accessibility to these 3D programs. So how do you know which one you should be using and what are the big ticket features you need to know about each, such as rendering, modeling, community, and a lot more!
Blender is definitely harder to learn than Cinema 4D. If you are a more technically minded person, you may find yourself having a lot of fun with the node system and playing around with scripting in Blender. Cinema 4D is very well known for being pretty easy for beginners to pick up. I remember my first few tutorials and how easy it was to make something really cool with just one video. That is what inspired the way I teach Blender today.
In recent years, Blender has drastically improved the user interface. It went from being this clunky mess to a very well oiled machine that does a really good job of keeping your viewport from getting overly cluttered. It can definitely improve, but 3D programs have to juggle 1000 things
I would say Cinema 4D lacks in this area. Windows can take up more space than I think that they should, but you can find a good workflow with that. Overall I think Blender has a user interface that is much more approachable for a beginner, and Cinema 4D has one relatively streamlined for someone with a specific workflow.
The community for plug-ins in Blender is almost never ending. Because Blender is open source, people can just go in with an idea, turn that into a product, and sell it. More often than not, those plug-ins are free. On top of that, the paid plug-ins are generally more cost effective compared to Cinema 4D. If I'm being honest, I would prefer higher prices for some of these solo Blender add-on developers so that they can make a full-time living and continue making even better tools. Regardless of my opinion, if you like really cool fun plug-ins the Blender community will not disappoint .
While Cinema 4D plug-ins can be expensive, they are very very impressive and there are a lot of really cool developers out there. Both communities will not disappoint you on plug-ins but the Blender community will keep some money in your bank account.
Cinema 4D is king when it comes to motion graphics. I can say flat out, if your goal is to make industry standard motion graphics, you are going to want to use Cinema 4D. The cinema MoGraph System is simply superior. Blender can do most of what Cinema 4D can, it will just take you longer to pull off.
Modeling in Blender is very straightforward and pretty easy to get your mind around. The latest updates have created some pretty simplified controls for geometry manipulation and poly modeling. At this point, creating things such as hard surface robots and home interiors is a very clean, intuitive process. And if you add in some of the very popular plug-ins, it will make it even easier.
Both programs have a very sprawling tutorial community on YouTube. But I have to say for my own experience blender definitely has far more content and a more active community. Both communities are incredibly active and are full of incredible artists and people who love to learn the program. But I personally had a better time learning Blender on YouTube then when I was learning Cinema 4D on YouTube. And there is a plethora of professional paid courses, on the Blender side they are generally going to be much less expensive than Cinema 4D courses.
Most people will choose based on their current financial situation. Blender is free and it certainly will not limit you with the type of work you want to create. At times it may be more difficult than Cinema 4D, but there are dozens of movies and shows that use Blender in their pipeline. If you have the cash, I would say Cinema 4D currently is a better product!
Cinema does a much better job at making difficult tasks easier to do...especially When it comes to motion graphics and other tasks that need to be automated. However, with a dedicated development team and a robust community, it won't be long before Blender comes even with Cinema 4D.
