Hasta La Motion!

I am a graduate film student at Florida State University’s College of Motion Picture Arts (http://film.fsu.edu/About-FSU-Film/Awards) and I am seeking an animator(s) for a fantasy film that will screen at film festivals around the globe.

"The Bell" is a fantasy/fairy tale film in the vein of "Pan’s Labyrinth." For the prologue of my film, I wanted to have an animated sequence. I really enjoy the "shadow puppet" look to help sell the idea that the story is ancient.

These two animations really inspired me:

– Ryan Woodward’s "Breath of Life" videos

– "The Tale of the Three Brothers" from the latest Harry Potter film

Although I love the "The Tale of the Three Brothers," I think I want to go more for the 2D look, but this is definitely the vibe I am going for.

Because I am film student and I am financing this film myself, I have a small budget for this animation. With that said, I want to build relationships with animators for future projects.

If you are interest in this project, please email me: thebell.film@gmail.com

I look forward to hearing from you!

Cheers,
J

Hello,

I’m trying to get to grips with the color expression node and i thought i would have a go at trying to create different color palettes by perhaps specifying color ranges and correcting these.

Has anybody got any interesting resources that demonstrate how something like this can be done? My main issue is with my lack of TLC expression knowledge.

Just realized this is a general forum, the software I am using is Nuke!

Thanks

I am trying to pull a key from a large image (about 16K wide) using Keylight but I am getting an error saying the image is too large. Seemed to be happy doing it for a while, now it’s given up. It seems to behave fine when I set my downrez to be a lower value.

So does Keylight have a size restriction?

Thanks
Elliot

Hi,
just want to share this first cut of this animation I am completing.
http://www.vimeo.com/22973008

Is all 3dsMax, Vray, Nuke and AE for flares and minor adjustements. I have been working over a month on it.

This is the first version, we have to work on some corrections and a final would be rendered again with finer settings (check the trees flicker…)
Still have to include people and more motion details, but there are some few there, including some kites.

Would be very interested in hearing some serious critics and comments from you on the work so far as to make it the better i can. Also some suggestions as well.

Thanks in advance and best regards.
