I'd be a bit scared of that! What I've seen of TWO looks amazing... and a fair bit out of my league as far as animating goes... Uh...? Have you been reading my blog? We're just friendly anitomatos over there in TWO land. You have a future in the movies, my boy.

That's pretty cool, Andy. You need to help up animate on TWO.

Dhar was the featured guest on the premiere day of his first animation on A:M Community tonight. He has gained the right to call himself an "animator." Congratulations, Dhar. From the... Grand "anitomato" PoohBah

Oh, you don't have to put rigs in. Just the model would be enough to help people out, and somebody may put a rig in it later if need be. There's a lot of good stuff here. A 2000 X 1600 render would be enough for each poster. You're on. I'll send you an email.

Lee. What is anybody gonna say but, "Wow." Didn't you animate a little of some of these several years ago? I'd love to see it if you did. Would you donate the models to the "Extras" DVD? What kind of rigs do they have in them (A:M 2001?) How about a few poster size images before the comicon season starts? What are you doing with the "Russian" Batman? (I must have missed it if you explained?) Do you want to work on TWO?

Blink. Blink again. Make the side to side motion jerk more. (It's very rhythmic now). (These suggestions brought to you from your friendly anitomato).

Lee, Yves told me that he thought "stud" meant "gay," (Yves is from Quebec), and he warned me to call you something else. So "Lee, you are such a not gay stud." Note that you're assuming that Lee isn't gay, when you say that. Lee, you are such a not gay unless you're gay stud.

Lee, you are such a stud.

Right there... That's beginning to have the "Alex Roth" aura. (Of course, it's the PJC aura... But in the same general quality range.)

That city looks pretty good. (Like all your stuff does.)

Hmmm... Give up on V11.1 cloth. If you can't afford an A:M 2007 upgrade, offer to trade a model, or work on TWO, or something. You're beating your head against the wall for nothing. V13 cloth is much better.

That looks great, Jason. I eagerly anticipate the next one.

It looks great, Rusty. Thank you for keeping us informed of your progress. It is an inspiration and entertainment to everyone.

Well, Steven, you get an "A" on your progress report.

You should never let old projects lie neglected. Set aside an hour a month for each. That way, after a year, you'll have some completed, and you'll keep a lot of people watching your threads happy. I watch your threads. I know a lot of people do. Don't let us hang.

In Scene 28, the camera spends a lot of time looking at the back of Gretel's head, and worse, it blocks Hansel's face while he's talking. Close-up on Hansel while he's talking. In Scene 34, cut to a close-up of the moon's face when it smiles. Overall, you need a close-up whenever a particular character is talking. You're holding too long, and you could make the camera angles more interesting. This is shot like Claymation - which is okay for Claymation but you're doing CG. Characters are good. Need other voices besides the narrator. Sound effects will help immensely. Characters need "Hair." In fact, I'm assuming you're planning on going back and texturing everything later because the palette is very small. What age group is this aimed at? Do at least one glamour shot so we can see what you intend for the final lighting. GREAT JOB. ONE MAN, ONE COMPUTER, DOING A 30 MINUTE FILM AT HOME!

Yeah... You know how many lurkers are watching this thread? Good job.

That's awesome (as usual), Serg. How come you couldn't match the 3D model with the image at the end?

Hey, Mike. We're glad to have you back.

Wow. A tutorial with these as the images would be a big hit.

I'd be fooled. My mom would be fooled. My brother, daughter and sons would be fooled. You've got a tough audience here Marcos.

I'm trying to watch the trailer. Does it take a long time to load? (I can see the picture of the car, explosion, 5 Thoms with pistols, and I can hear the music).

That's quite good William. Put the Rotoscopes on as decals and let's see what you look like! (I hope your "head" will show up on next year's "Extras III" DVD?)

Chris; Making a movie is HARD. I mean, it's REALLY HARD. (Did I mention how HARD it is to make a movie?) Why don't you get involved with TWO for a while and get your feet wet. You may not want to ever make movies again after that but at least you'll see some of the inner workings - the HARDEST of which is managing people. Martin
