Offroader Clip Making Of

Here you'll find a little story about how the offroader clip I posted earlier was made. It's in german though, but still has some nice pictures in there. Go check it out here.

And in case you feel like you rrrreally neeeeeed to rrrreeeaaaadd it (karmapoints anyone?), but can't, due to a lack of knowledge of the german language, don't be shy, let me know, and I'll put together an english version.

aight, goodnight

Yo, I just realized that I didn't loose a word about Animation Mentor yet, even though it says in the title that I'll mainly use the blog as sort of an AM diary... Eeerrmm, so where did that part go?
Well here's the deal: I took a leave of absence from october until january to review all the things I've learnt in the past nine months and to recharge my batteries. Animation Mentor is super intense, especially when you have a job at the same time. So I don't have no work-in-progress school stuff to show right now, for that matter.
I'm really looking forward to get back on the ride though and get to see all my school buddies again. For now, this is my progress reel. It might be still a bit rough around the edges, and I hope I'll get some of the animations smoothed out before January.
Enjoy C

Hai Doggy!

A few days ago I stumbled over a movie called The Room. It's super mega awesome; great acting, lovely dialogues and a compelling script make this one a thrilling rollercoaster ride!

Make It Grand Stills

Here are some stills from a short called 'make it grand' I plan to come up with. There's still a lot to do, but I'll keep it nicely unpolished, simple and short so I get it done in a reasonable amount of time. Time to get things done and stop thinking about creating the perfect movie/rendering/animation/whatever.

Goodnight C

Some Jobwork

Here’s some work I made at my office: Feinheit. It’s part of a political campaign and includes the possibility to personalise the video with pictures and names. Go check it out here, if you want to create your own movie!
I was responsable for all the 3D Content and worked on concept, storyboards etc.. I learned tons from this project, specially when it comes to design, storytelling, camera and cut. There still a lot of room to improve, but I feel that the work on this short took my abilities up a notch in several aspects.
Luckily I had a friend who offered to animate the character and car crash sequences and took a lot of weight from my shoulders by doing so. I’d love to give a shout out to him, but unfortunately I can’t mention his name, since he’s actually not allowed to animate on other commercial gigs then for his studio by contract. Animators are crazy! Working illegally just for the heck of it! If you’re reading this, kudos to you mr. animator!
I’m preparing to write a short making of entry for later on, stay tuned!
Any comments or feedback is most welcome. Thanks

Starting over

Time get this blog started. I'll start with moving some of the posts from my old'n'dusty blog, just to fill my brand new shiny blog with some sparkling content and as well to show you some of my previous work.
