jeffcraighead Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 This is how I spent my weekend. About 5 hours to model and animate, 5 hours to edit and capture sound. The rest of the 48 hours was spent rendering The file is about 3MB in QT format. See it here: Stats Commercial Quote
jfirestine Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 I like it. Fill us in on some more details of how you produced this piece. Any wire frame stills? Character design stills, etc. Looks very good. Thanks for shaing! Quote

jeffcraighead Posted November 24, 2003 Author Posted November 24, 2003 I made this video for the Stats Prof. at USF. He does a Jeopardy type competition for his class and always makes a joke about going to commercial (the class is taped and replayed 10 times per day and on WUSF at 1am). My girlfriend is a TA and he asked if I wanted to actually do a commercial. I'll post some wireframes later today....Actually I'll just post the whole project for anyone that wants it. Basically modeling was fast. The alien guy was made for another project: Floating TV Cooler I did for school. He's made from a few stretched spheres. The pencil and desk were done quickly and I just used surface properties for texturing except for the desk top and that is a FBM texture I think The walls and floor were copies of the default ground model set to white with the diffuse falloff set to 0. The lighting was a pain. I think I have 40 klieg lights (trying to get a GI feel with v9.5) which cast soft shadows and white light at 5% intensity. The Matrix texture was just text animated in AE6 (I'll post this project too) I used the new text animation stuff in v6 to create a 640x480 clip that was 30s long I think. I used this as a color decal on everything in the AM project which was a duplicate of the non-Matrix textured project. Then I rendered them both in NetRender overnight. Quote
jeffcraighead Posted November 24, 2003 Author Posted November 24, 2003 OK here are the files. The AM projects should have all models embeded the one decal for the paper is included with the project. The rain texture is a separate download as it is 9MB zipped. The AE6 project ZIP for the text also includes the TV Off video. Matrix Rain Loop Video (9MB) AM Project Files (240KB) Matrix Rain AE6 Project File (440KB) Sound Files (6.25MB) Jeff Quote

Dearmad Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 That was pretty nice- liked the green lettering effects. Creative approach to the finals week info. But I gotta say it: 40 lights!?!?! Why...? Quote
Zaryin Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 For the amount of time you did this in this is very good. I liked it. Quote
