Rolling bottle

Posted in: Beginners Talk
Hi everyone

I am student, producing a short film for my course and have a small idea. There is a scene where a small animated figure is pushing a real liquor bottle away. What we are trying to do is see if there is any other ways we could make the bottle move before we put the animated figure in.

So far the only way we have thought to do it would be to have it connected to a piece of thin string and have someone off scene pulling the bottle.

Is there anything else we could do?

Many thanks

Gregor

Baby In The Sky

Posted in: Animazione 3d, Born HIV Free, Commercial, Francesca Cutini, Gods of Design, Julien Chivange, Motiongraphics, Stranieri, viral video

Il concetto è semplice: sfruttare la potenziale “viralità” di un video sul web per far sì che il tamtam di condivisioni sui social network diventi veicolo di un messaggio di sensibilizzazione sociale.
