NaNo Dance One! UG02b.mov

. . . . .

Here is some background: In the year 2000 Bill Joy - cofounder and Chief Scientist of Sun Microsystems - wrote an article in the the Wired Magazine: Why the future doesn't need us http://wired-vig.wired.com/wired/archive/8.04/joy.html He goes so far as to ask whether we ought to consider a ban or at least a moratorium on new technologies: http://www.alteich.com/tidbits/t081902.htm The ETC-group called 2003 for a moratorium on nanotechnique: Size Matters! The Case for a Global Moratorium http://www.etcgroup.org/article.asp?newsid=392 Being here for seven million years: http://news.independent.co.uk/world/scienc...sp?story=627105 What is now happening to life with the new discoveries in Natural Science?

And here is the animation. UG01_welcome.mov

NoNo and NaNa welcoming You to the UnderGround.

I am wondering about the "slap-stick" colors. I believe you will get tired of them after a while... Why not use some murky scenens too? And then sometimes let the slap-stick colors go more brighter almost neon sometimes. I believe you have to have some music to follow giving you the emotional settings and then trying to play with the colors following the music... Just some wonderings...

I can see your phantasie is about master and slave. Why not let the end be a turning point? They are changing roles. Perhaps not having to tell you? Everyone expects already that turning point! What I am missing is a background. I have tried to use a simple photo as a background in my Sci/Fi phantasie - Sex On Mars - adding in a simple manner some local character. Just a tips! Really longing for the end of your story...

Time to say goodbye to the marsians.

Compare it to some building? This one eg: http://www.tour-eiffel.fr/teiffel/uk/

After having learnt to know each other they are having a really good time togehter playing and laughing both of the groups hypnotized by balls. Yes, let us be friends forever the pinkies and greenies tell each other. The marsians promise to soon go for an exploration to Earth. Bye, bye, see you soon - and off the pinkies go - back to mother Earth. The greenies are waving to them - shouting: We will see you soon!

Everybody wants to know how the green ones are doing it. It is not a secret any longer thanks to some pink explorers - http://www.enchantedlearning.com/explorers/

The third was incredible good! but frightening.... Was it done with A:M only?

This is serious! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploration_of_Mars And this just a SciFi/Fantasy

Humor On Mars - HOM! Oh no! Someone dares to joke with the planet!

Perhaps the story is already to rude? But can anything be to rude then making satire - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire - about the space race beginning in the end of of 1950s by the Russians sending the dog Laika to die in space - http://www.spacetoday.org/Astronauts/Animals/Dogs.html And humans also had have to offer their lives in this space race: http://www.nasa.gov/columbia/home/F_04_Memorials.html So here a new - just a little more elaborated ruder version of the gravities of the space! marsian07.mov

Why not stay on Earth? Trying to make our own planet a little bit better to live on? What is it in space that is so attractive? No lovely forests - no swimming - no relaxing... It must be something! What can it be? http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/ Perhaps this conversation between two marsians can give you the clue? Sex On Mars - SOM! marsian06.mov

Very good - there is atmosphere! A suggestion - the fairy-lady on the right she melts into the greenery - better take her away - have a try and look - or make her stand out better and let the two ladies have some eye contact.

First in Choreography1 I tryed to use some clicks on the Force Keyframe Button to get the marsian stay in place. But then the lip sync did not function! Someone have a clue? A new try in Choreography2 not using the Force Keyframe Button and the lip sync functioned??? Some help please! You cannot use the Force Keyframe Button?

Welcome To Mars - with some fan bones and some lip sync marsian00.mov

Wow! Waiting for the jig rig music!

Resulting in an animation - trying to make it easy - just some images to give some realism - and the fan bones for some bending. And the poem: The streets are filled with vipers who've lost all ray of hope You know it ain't even safe no more in the palace of the Pope dylanpoem2.mov

Trying to do some modeling/animating with fan bones I came across a blog http://rigorousintuition.blogspot.com/2005...killed-him.html with a poem by Bob Dylan http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bobdylan/do...nmetonight.html

And here some result! Funny things happen when constraint to... is applied to strange attractor... venezia_pearl02.mov

Believe I got it working?

Thanks! But how to create a null? Is it kind of dummy object.
