Animatic and 3d previz - dobbel check


After the process of making the storyboard we were told to make a animatic and a 3d previz. animatic is more or less a animated storyboard that gives a better impression of timing and camera movement. And the 3d previs is a 3d pass of the animatic.

Since everyone in the group already was assigned we just kept working. Ole was finishing of the last pieces of the animatic. Martine was finishing of some of here already started 3d work. Since me and Christian was done with the 2D part we jumped in and tweaked and made the scenes Martine had made render ready.

The 3d previz were build up by only simple primitives and easy animations. we didn't care to much about hiding props and minor errors. This is the first 3d pass. If we were to make a short film there would at least come a bunch of 3d passes after this one.

After the basic animation and models we trew some colore on to it, makeing it  not so boring, even tho im a fan of clay renders.

Since there was alot of ups and downs this week we lost some of the connection. So when the render were done, there were some parts of the 3d previz that weren't all accepted by the group. So we did a quick jump back in max, fixt the details and rendered out again.

I wish i could talk more about how the animatic was made and all that but that was Ole's job so jump over to his blog to check more out

As i posted earlier my job were mainly the 2d part. But i also did some of the camera animation and 3d setup for the 3d previz.

To read more about the 3d previz start and ideas. Check out Martines blog and how she started out forming the scenes.

Overal it have bin an experienced proess doing this. you get a good view on whats expected from you as an artist in a group and whats needed of comunications and efford. Im really glad we got to do this before the big assignement we get next year.

If we had bin given more time i whould perfection the previz we already have instead of making more of the movie. Im a huge eyecandy fan, so i had a hard time watching this previz getting rendered without FG, lights, textures and all that sweeties :) hehe
