And there was much rejoicing...





It's done... after so much stress, depression and no sleep (yes no sleep is real) it's done.

My short review: bad.
My Longer review:

Well... I already knew from the start this wasn't goingt to end up well. Making a model is a real bugger for me, in fact... ANYTHING useful in maya is hard to me. I managed to overcome basic modelling at the end of this course BUT I failed to create a good rig. it's a shame though, it could have been so much more...

The main film itself (though I like the intro) just didn't work. The second half seemed empty and out of place. With the incomplete rig, I was very limited to my storyboards and I did not follow them as planned. it's possible I might recontinue this product on my own, nothing related to the college. Just to prove that I could have made what I wanted. As said, I do like the intro. It was timed with the music and very beaty, in fact... the textureless models swings with the music; reminds me of a musical film noir. However there were just too many faults with the timing and rigging to make this film good; but who knows... something might come out of it...

NOW THE SECONDS FILM-wait, what? There isn't meant to be a second film?

Correct; this was my own idea. After my negative responce to the film, I decided to include a show-rell, showing a clearer image of the two models and their facial rigs. Why did I do this? Because not only if it more fginal content, it is also to show what the model looks like, and what it can do WITHOUT the pacing and distraction of the film. I imagined I sent this model to a real company, as a preview. If the film didn't get to them, they would see, clear as day, what the model is like graphicly wise, 360. It also showed a variety of facial expressions, in case you didn't catch some of them in the final film.

Please note that the second youtube video does NOT have sound. For some reason youtube doesn't like the track. Both track are from the David Lynch collection of films; and they both worked great. If I could compliment one thing other than the introduction of the main film; it would be the timing and use of music. It really make a change to a empty video.

Well, this is over... now I need a real job. OFF TO THE LONG ROAD! Goodbye!
