trajcedrv Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 This should be viewed as fan movie (characters and concepts are undoubtably copyrighed), byt I came out with the idea and I had to make it... I made the characters long time ago, but I had them re - rigged for the animation... I've animated first two sequences and then I had other things to do, sooooo, this post is probably the way to get things started again... As I finish the sequences I will post them, and of course everyone around here is invited for comment (PLEASE) So, first sequence comes your way! Drvarceto p.s. no voices, sound effects (or any sound for that matter) yet! MIKKE_1seq_HQ.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trajcedrv Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 Here is the movie! I always get problems when I upload the files... One more thing! there should be some volumetric fog etc in the backgound, and light setup is ... ehem... not yet finished, but I think that you'll get the idea...

trajcedrv Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 Second sequence... In the meanwhile I've rerigged the face od the Light and animation artefacts (pieces of muth entering head etc will be gone - in the next rendering) I am redesigning the characers, so that in the finished short they will look diferently (and hopefully I could use it for personal promotion) I hope that you'll like this...

Hoggy Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Both very good - evil looking. Adding the sound/voices will make a big difference. Hoggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixie Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I like these, Whats the background story? I'd like to see what It's about, Short but sweet! The lighting is dramatic and the animation is smooth yet snappy (aka good!) Keep us posted Nixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DArtZ Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Initially what bothered me on Mickey was that bright spotty specularity. Do you definatly need that? As far as the animation.... looks like it will be fun to watch. Keep us posted Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Its a bit hard to comment on such short snippets. But my impression is that the characters have a definite evil look to them, and Mickey is reminiscent of the very early 1930's version of him (hope thats what you're going for). The specularity & lighting tends to give them a squeaky, creepy, soft-plastic-rubbery look. But maybe just a bit too much? If that's what you want - keep it. Otherwise....need more footage to be able to really get a sense of what you're trying for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajcedrv Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 Hey! Thanks! This is what is called 'saved in the last moment' - the short movie that I started, I mean... Thing is... I started it as an animation exercise, but I think that it should last for about 3 mins (a waaaay lot of work), and having in mind that I cannot promote it (Mickey is... well... Mickey) I felt that there is no point in continuing the work on it... for simple reason that it probably will stay in this forum. Specularity will be dealt with... in time, when I get to it. I intended for the 30's look, beacuse I felt that design of the character, which is simplicity itself will help me to focus on the main points of the animation, and not the unnecessary make up... re short snippets... I don't have web site where I can publish longer stuff... I haven't tried to make link to my site on the geocities... will that work? Thank you for the comments! It kinda filled my bateries up... Expect 3rd sequence in a few days (it will be longer shot that will make everything clear) Drvarceto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalemation Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 The models look very well done and faithful to the originals. In my mind I am imagining what the story will be - some conflict between the two characters? The animation looks quite impressive too so far. Look forward to the third shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajcedrv Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Here is long overdue update to the animation... I'll try to post its sequel in a few hours (when the rendering is done), and maybe even the next sequence, and then (in a next few days) I'll try to add music and sound effects and see how the things will came out... So, here we are: (not much action in this one) Drvarceto MIKKE_3seqA.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Man, Micky looks pissed. There's going to be a fight to the death in that arena. Your work has really progressed. Keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 It's an interesting & intriguing shot - peaks my interest & makes me want to know what's going on in the hole... 1 criticism would be that Mickey's right arm is moving too much in sync with the camera movement - would be best to isolate the movements - or have some more interesting movement going on with Mickey - timing wise & action wise (looks too even, need more variation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajcedrv Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 HERE IT IS!!! Drama! Confrontation! Clash of the Titans! Light of the Ligtsabres! ... um, here it is... The sequel shot!

trajcedrv Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 I just couldn't resist to post this one... It is not rendered, just a real - time preview, but it is an action!!! Hope that you'll like this one... Drvarceto p.s this animation is far from over!!! It has just begun!!! There will be blood' n' guts everywhere afore it is finished!!!
