No Shame

I just found on an old hard drive a backup of one of my first 3d animation !

I was pretty sure it was lost in the final crash of my computer in 2003. Watching this little thing give me a cookie-Proust effect (I don’t think we can say this in english, so more info here http://www.haverford.edu/psych/ddavis/p109g/proust.html  ). At this time I was doing  a lot of (boring…) architectural 3d illustrations. 3D animation was most of the time just a hobby.

This one is a kind of video clip for an imaginary rock band. Modeling and rendering was done in LightWave 6.0, animation in Project:Messiah and compositing in Combustion 1.0. 

I must admit that the character animation is closer to an animatic than a polished final shot… Anyway, I put it on youtube without shame !
 

The adult table

“In our earnest desire to get a seat at the ‘adults table’ of the business, we have been engaged in a 30-year publicity campaign to make everyone aware of what we do and how we do it. In this process we have focused on the success stories and hidden away the terrible truth of how we got to those successes. As far as the public, most directors and producers are concerned, they are not at all aware of how time and hands-on intensive the process really is. What we need to do is begin telling the painful truth.”

From the excellent vfxhack blog, I can’t resist to mirror this one.
