animatog

i’ve been waiting long for this to come…..oooo god im soo exited about it….its not here yet and i cant wait to get my hands on it

so…it’s been a long time since my latest post…i just find myself too lazy posting in any weblog but this is something i better do here till i upload my own website…… many things has happend since the last post and i’ll tell some of them

1-our animatin (the lost puppet) won the third best animated film in tehrans international animation festival…..i think we deserved more,because some of the winners only won because of theire big names,not by theire quality…..but it was a good thingto win at least……and the film showned there wasnt 100% complete.the music isnt finished yet ….and i guess i’ll be called to go back and rerender the final cast and crew pages for the music team…..the film isnt online yet but as soon as the studio uploaded it in theire website,it’ll post it here

2-i started working on a music video..i hope it’ll become great….im the technical director and the visual effect supervisor and the art director as well as the animator…better to say its a one man team heheee….all the film was shot infront of a blue screen….in some shots i chose the green screen as well and it was my first time working with the chromaflex screens….they look realy good to work with.specialy in the Tele shots…they can be chromakeyed very easily and clean…… i must make all the backgrounds in CG which are mostly color painted and adding some cg effects to some actors,like adding glassy wings to them in motion…most of the shots are happening in a painting and the director wants it to be like van gogh paintings…and it makes it a little hard …putting a live character into a painted farm with camera movements and animated brush paterns is a very complicated thing to do..specialy if each shot is about 300-800 frame…so many many unexpected problems can occure and do occure…..actualy i’ve done most of the shots…and hope it’ll be over till the next month….gonna upload some WIP images soon

3-and i finished making a full animated tv commercial…so i had to pause the music video for a while,i mean for a very short time….cause you may know,most of the commercials have stupidly short deadlines..i had two weeks to make he whole thing..making two high detail Benz and a samand car…plus a medium detailed highway and tonnel……for this one i used Side effects Houdini for its fast and powerfull render engine ; Mantra……And it was my first project fully made in houdini ,it asnt so easy at all but worth tryin, i mostly managed to do the compositing and lighting effects it in Digital fusion…so i did some very simple but fast renders,then changed the entire shot in fusion using diffrent pases like oclusion and normal passes,which i’m getting more in Love these days…..i put a snapshot for the first render and final resault in the top,i hope i had more time so i could make it look better,but things arent always as we like them to be

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII all…this is my first CG weblog ever and i dont know where it’ll end up…so there we go……

gotta go and sit for hours ,thinking to figuring out what to say here….hehe
