Dudley Storey"RKO Pictures Opening Logo, 1927"<br>
<br>
(Sound on, headphones recommended)<br>
<br>
Modelled, animated and rendered in Blender; composited and edited in Adobe After Effects.<br>
<br>
As an avowed cinephile, I feel an intense thrill of anticipation when I see a movie studio's opening logo appear at the start of a film. This is my version of the RKO Pictures logo animation, used as the lead before films made from 1929 to 1960.<br>
<br>
The logo's transmitter was originally inspired by the 200 foot Tesla Coil built at Pike's Peak in Colorado; the building beneath the tower (difficult to see, and removed in later versions) was the laboratory for Tesla's electrical experiments. Fairly dilapidated in the references I found, I used the more complete and wonderfully odd structure at Wardenclyffe Tower, built by Tesla at Shoreham, New York in 1905.<br>
