Soap Opera

[ZachBG]

Hi all:

 

I finally got around to compressing the final version of Soap Opera. For those who don't know, it's a five-minute slice of Mozart's Don Giovanni performed by the denizens of a bathroom. "You'll never look at Pert Plus the same way again!"

 

This version premiered at the D.C. Shorts Festival in September 2005. (I think, technically, it was first shown at the Hash SIGGRAPH party, but I won't tell D.C. Shorts if you don't.) Its next appearance will be at the Cleveland Film Festival this March.

 

I wrote and animated it, Jeff Lee produced the music, and we both modeled it. Special thanks to David Rogers for an exhaustive lighting critique (which I tried to implement and probably messed up royally). You can check the film out at:

Enjoy...

That was really awesome. I'm really like the concept, and its definately really original.

 

Good work!

Another kitchen table masterpiece!

 

Congratulations, Zach!

 

And getting on the Cleveland Festival is getting into pretty good company... their animation winner last year was "Ryan", the Oscar winner for Best Animated Short.

That was great! Truly inspirational! I'm going to clean both bathrooms today! Seriously though, its great to see a really finished, polished piece like that. Great camera movement and compostion. Like the little dolly and zoom you put in there on the shampoo CU. Great work!

How did you compress your movie? What program did you use? What settings, etc..?
