Mr. Hide Merges Man, Machine Nature for Prius
Posted in: Car, choreography, costume, General, live action, mr. hide, people, prius, saatchi & saatchi, sweet shop, toyota
Mr. Hide and The Sweet Shop have created a fantastical human-scape in this recent spot for Prius via Saatchi & Saatch, LA. For his first spot outside of the Japanese market, Hide brings a strong sense of humanity and visually arresting nuance.
This ambitious testament to the detail-oriented Director is supported by an Art Department and Production team who enlisted 200 extras in 269 costumes to build this cleverly choreographed world. This one is meant to be watched more than once.
On a side note, Mr. Hide’s feature, Donju is set to premier at Cannes.

Strechy IKs general questions
Posted in: MayaHi,
I dont understand the needs behind Strechy IKs, i guess like the name says it is a way to strech a limb but i opened Maya created a limb and skinned it to a basic joint chain, applied translate on FK joint and the limb also streched to follow along the extension of bones. Isn’t it a simpler solution? What does Strechy IKs allow that the setup i outlined can’t?
Thank for helping me understand.

Light effect in titles
Posted in: Adobe After EffectsHello everyone,
i´m having some difficulties in recreating the effect we can see in the pics.
I´m using trapcode shine and the result is good but i´m not been able to recreate it.
Can someone give me a hint? Is it with masks?
Thanks
Cheers

Supinfocom: Cafe Serre
Posted in: character animation, diner, France, funny, General, short film, supinfocomSchool’s out at Supinfocom, and the end of year projects keep rolling in. Everything we’ve seen so far is astounding, and “Café Serré” only adds to the school’s already imposing reputation.
Created by Vincent E Sousa, Bertrand Avril, Yann de Préval and Denis Bouyer, the film ticks along with a series of brilliant sight gags that fit together like a finely crafted puzzle—all with just two characters and a single set.
I love the lighting in the establishing shots. Drink in the architectural details of the interior and the soft interplay of light on its various surfaces. Lovely.
The camera work, while mostly stationary, moves the story forward with confidence, using simple two-shots, close-ups and some subtle rack-focus to keep the action tight in the frame.
“Café Serré” was made for the Canal J Contest, created five years ago. Its participants are all from French Animation Schools, so you know the competition is stiff. This year, 7 schools participated, contributing 54 different short films. You can see the other competitors here.

3D Anaglyph
Posted in: Beginners TalkHi All,
I’m interested in knowing how to make an anaglyph clip. I know you need two cameras to film with, but is there anyway to talk footage filmed from one camera and make it look like a real anaglyph shot? What program would be used to create such effect?
Thanks,:)
