gazzamataz Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Oh I am so pleased! I have finally refurbished my office and got back into my pet project and got the first frame done. So couldn't resist sharing it with you all. Unleash you comments please… Quote
modernhorse Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Nice style ! I really like the look of this, its right up my alley. No crits I just wanna see more. Will you be adding grass or some such texturing on the ground? Doug Quote
Dalemation Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 It`s looking good Gary. You`ve obviously been working hard. Can`t wait to see some animation. Quote
gazzamataz Posted April 9, 2004 Author Posted April 9, 2004 Gee fanx Guys. I must admit I am buzzin' with this project at the moment. i just keep thinking up stories and ideas but I ain't got the technical ability to pull them off - yet At the moment I am concentrating on producing a stroyboard lke the last story, but once that is done I will go back and add more detail, texture and my worst ability - lighting. Then, maybe, I will animate a little section... that will be fun! Now I only work four days a week (Hooray) I will have more time to craft me project - YUMMIE Thanks again chaps Quote
jfirestine Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 Very nice work! Can you show us more of the characters, wireframes and just more... glad to see you are working on your pet project. I am also working on one too. Your pic is really pumping me up to continue with my pet project. Keep us posted with your progress! Quote
Dalemation Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 Now I only work four days a week (Hooray) I will have more time to craft me project - YUMMIE Congratulations on achieving this. Several months ago I asked if I could drop a day at work and was refused. (Obviously I didn`t tell them it was mainly to work on my own projects ) No, I`m not bitter Animation is a slow process isn`t it. I am lucky to have others working with me but they are getting up to speed with the software at the moment. I am just slightly ahead of them. Lighting - I purchased the book that David Rogers mentioned. Digital lighting and rendering by Jeremy Birn. It`s excellent and covers more than just lighting. Texturing and compositing etc are also featured. I really wish you well with your project. Every time you post it just looks better and better. I think it`s going to be really impressive by the time of completion. Dale. Quote
gazzamataz Posted April 20, 2004 Author Posted April 20, 2004 Dalemation Forgive me for not replying sooner I feel a bit clapped out at the moment, the four-day week went out of the window last week cos I had to go in on my day off and work on a mad rush project - typical clients! Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for the kind comments you made and I do have the book you suggested, but I ain't read it yet! I have done a few more frames on me project but I will have alot more done THIS Friday - I will most definately NOT be working no matter how IMPORTANT it is, my project is FAR MORE IMPORTANT!!! Did I sound grunty? Well I must be GRUNTY BEAR! Wait till I get to GROWLY BEAR!!! Oh god this projects going to my head... anyway sneek peak at another character who will appear in the next episode.

modernhorse Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Feed me!!! Cool stuff. Good luck this Friday, Grunty. Doug Quote
gazzamataz Posted April 21, 2004 Author Posted April 21, 2004 LOL! Would you Adam & Eve it looks like I'll be this working Friday but now I have a disgusting cold... someone up there don't want me to get on Quote
gazzamataz Posted April 23, 2004 Author Posted April 23, 2004 Well, I having been plodding on this St George's Day in the lovely English weather (it does happen) and I thought I would post another teaser for you to ponder Quote
gazzamataz Posted June 12, 2004 Author Posted June 12, 2004 Yippee!!! I have finally finished the second story for 'Bella Bear' and I am over the moon! So I thought I would post another teaser for anyone who is interested. My next stage is to either get on with the final story, or just take some scenes from the previous two and breath life into the characters by animating those scenes. What do you guys think? Quote
Dalemation Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Hi Gary, I like the limages. The brick and rock textures are especially nice. You mentioned that you had finished your second story. I recently got a great book quite cheaply from Amazon - Gardner`s Guide To ANIMATION SCRIPTWRITING by Marilyn webber. I found it very useful in checking I was on the right track and also managed to improve my script quite a lot I think. Maybe you should animate some scenes now and put together a trailer. Have you looked at the Animwatch site? There are lots of animation shorts `in progress` on there. Very inspiring. Look forward to seeing your next post. Dale. Quote
gazzamataz Posted June 14, 2004 Author Posted June 14, 2004 Gee fanx Dale! I sat a watched some of the flicks on Saturday morning and that's what made my mind up for me - I am gonna do a trailer! I had already put some bits ages ago but it needs ALOT of work.Once done I will post it here, possibly under AM Films if they let me Ohhhhh, I am looking forward to it already. When I am on holiday next week I will start scribbling out the next storyboard to complete the trio as well as what I am gonna put in the trailer. Cheers Mate Quote
