A start with shots

Whew! long time no see~

Sorry for this late post. Gomen nasai~

the thing is .. things have been so busy (lazy) around me that I couldn't gather any spirit to write about anything, I may have lost the knack for writing. If I had one in the first place

If I divided the short film into parts/scenes they form three main parts, the intro, the waiting, the climax and the conclusion, of all of them, the most difficult part (according to me) was the one which has the essence or climax of the story. Starting with the principle of starting with the ''difficultiest'' and saving tasty bits later on.. I started on with it.

Shot# Norman is going away after he looses any hope of getting any call.

the phone rings and he makes a dash for it.

straight ahead :)

Layout: Shot #1 [The Call]

as you can see I have changed a few things in the initial layout.
please comment and more than that.. suggest before I move on to my blocking///

setting: there is a table and the black thing on that table is a photo frame..
[refer animatics for details]


sorry for the awkward lighting..
off to dive with more references!

Here cometh the Romeo ♥

Hahah why such a weird title... I dunno why but after I see him , I feel like his personality is like that, barging in a party like that...

who would'nt be lost


fire away



P.S guys who are animators, can you critique a little bit professionally like where would you like

A Renamon walk cycle

Gyah!

So finally done! I had so many problems rendering this thing, but really nothing is like finalising your animation, even though your heart doesn't want to let it go and live in the cruel hard world of critiques, because once it's done, there is no turning back,
but there's also a sense of relief...

so there you go ..

A render test

This is a render test just to see if everything was going well, I think looks pretty good and have found some glitches that I will repair in the upcoming renders...

here you go!
hail rendering

3D animated Dino walk cycle from Misty9190 on Vimeo.

This is an animated cartoony dino walk cycle made in Autodesk Maya 2008.

3D animation:The Indian scenario.

Just when everyone in the 3D industry is looking with hopeful eyes towards the infinite sky of animation, are we forgetting the actual way common people are reacting towards 3D?

The reason that I write today is one of my friends in the 3D circle happened to present a paper... he choose the subject which was ''The use of 3D in the field of technical education'' which according to me was a brilliant choice.. it has many possiblities...So, as he began with the presentation and throught it, he presented various rendered slide shows on how 3D can be applied... not much to my surprise the judges didn't get anything that he wanted to say, and questioned back to him if he was endorsing the 3D softwares! what the heck! don't these guys want to rise to the levels of what other nations are doing?



The Indian common public are not open to new options, I am suspicious if the Indian youth is intelligent at all, I mean everyone can be like Chatur/Venkat.. but who dares to be like Rancho/Ryan? And you know what I'm talking about...
I can imagine this judges being grumpy and playing with his marks on the presentation that he had spent so many sleepless nights on ...
