How to animate flat 2D images within 3D scenes using Cinema 4D

In this Cinema 4D animation tutorial, learn how to light and animate flat images in 3D scenes that already have 3D lights and objects. Also in this Cinema 4D tutorial, learn about texturing flat 2D images in 3D space, excluding objects from lights, and targeting objects to cameras.

Working with 3D objects is great and all, but what if you have a flat product image, and you need it to be a part of your Cinema 4D scene, but it needs to really pop? In this tutorial I cover a technique I discovered while dealing with this question on a recent project, and how to use Luminance Materials in Cinema 4D to get flat 2D product images to integrate into Cinema 4D scenes.
