Nowadays many movie productions use CG animals. These are safer to handle and work with since working with real wild animals like snakes require experts. As you already know, visual effects are a useful tool, however, a big expense in high budget movies like Snakes on a plane, Prince of Persia, Anaconda and Harry Potter’s last movie.

We are aware that animating objects and include them in a scene is a complicated task, moreover, working with organic surfaces makes the job even harder. For this reason, this time we will teach you how to create and animate an attacking snake, conducting the modeling, texturing and animation process in Cinema 4D and finally post production in Adobe After Effects.
