“Meet Méline” – An Animated Short Film

Posted in: Industry News
[NEWS=”http://www.cgnews.com/wp-content/uploads/mm_meline_thumb.jpg”]25010[/NEWS]In an ordinary barn, in a quiet small town, a little girl will be faced with an extraordinary event ….. ….. “Meet Meline” tells the story of a young girl who spends much of her time playing in a dusty old wooden shed at her grandparents home. One day, whilst engrossed in of her favourite past time of drawing, Méline suddenly finds herself face to face with an unknown furry creature. This short animated film follows a petite heroine called Méline as she makes a discovery of a lifetime …..

“Meet Méline” is the enchanting and beautifully animated creation of 3D artists and creative directors Virginie Goyons and Sebastien Laban.

Initially the idea behind the project was to produce a 20 second clip that would provide a platform on which the two artists could develop and perfect their skills ….. two years later the piece has developed into a short animated film.

The making of “Meet Méline” has also lead to the production of a hard backed book and some beautiful, emotive poster artwork.

Virginie Goyons is 26 years old and a lead 3D Artist at the video games company Eden Games (ATARI). Virginie honed and developed her 3D skills during 3 years at the ESMA, and past profile projects include “Alone in the Dark” and “Test Drive Unlimited 2”.

Sebastien Laban is 25 years old and studied 3D Animation and Compositing at “Arts Appliqués Bellecour” for 3 years. After a working with Eden Games as Visual Effects Supervisor on “Alone in the Dark”, he spent 6 months at Framestore as a Technical Director for Brian Singer’s “Superman Returns”. Laban is currently working on 3D cinematic, live film and photography projects as Director and Artistic Director at Diplomatic cover.

The way a network presents its news, both visually and editorially says a lot about the channel. For the sake of comparison lets look at how ITV, BBC, Sky and Channel 4 covered today’s Ash-attack.

I’ll avoid making comment on the various broadcasters editorial skills, but to summarise the look and feel of each news bulletin:

– The BBC is the straightest, clean lines, serious look.
– Channel 4 is the edgiest, feels a touch alternative.
– ITV is the glossiest, very shiny, little to CGI heavy.
– And Sky News is by far the least interesting.

For some historical perspective, check out my 2007 edition of this exact same post.

With the launch of ABC News 24 getting close, I look forward to seeing how the ABC takes on the task of branding a whole news channel. Hopefully nothing like Sky.

Hi all, welcome to Team Cilantro’s WIP thread for VFX Challenge 402.

Team Cilantro consists of 3 compositors:

Rob Price – www.rob-price.com
Chase Bickel – www.mergeover.com
Tony Lyons – www.creativelyons.com

A Little about us:

We all graduated from Full Sail’s Computer Animation program in December 2009, all of us majoring in compositing. Upon graduating, we moved to Los Angeles in search of career opportunities in the VFX industry. We wanted to take on the VFX Challenge to practice doing what we love.

We have been working all month but waited until we had some real progress before we started posting WIPs. We will be posting the work we’ve done so far in the next few days.

Hope you enjoy the thread, Thank you!

difference – make sure your web compression is tidy before uploading. . .

Posted in: The Pad

difference

Another ridiculous one I decided to make while checking h264 encoded versions of renders in QuickTime Player 7 for compression differences before uploading them to the web.

Lines up QuickTime Player 7 windows, and automatically cycles between them so you can easily check for visual differences.

Enjoy.
