Scene nearly done

Nearly completed my main scene for the animation although not 100% happy yet and a few tweaks to be done i thought id share the progress so far! I have set a couple of targets i need complete for when i get back.

- Assets all done
- Character re-designed
- Scene finished

Changed the lights to a more orangey glow and i think i prefer it as it makes it that little bit more of a gloomy feel!

Bit of history and the scratching onto film technique!

Well sometime last week i was looking into some traditional animation techniques that are still used today and one of them was scratching into camera film. One of the problems i was faced with was getting my images to stand out more.I scratched into the film and applied different medias such as indian ink , marker pen , bleach and acrylic paint. It is something that is very easy to try for yourself all i used for scratching into the film was a pin!

Concrete jungle vid

Whilst listening to the awseome Black label society i was watching the video for "Concrete jungle" and was really into the animation done for it and thought it was quite relevant. This is a similar style to what id like to do for my 2.5d animation.

Using two simple cubes i have been playing around with lighting, Cameras, Depth of field and rendering in C4d slowly getting there so much tools at your disposal.
