Organic modelling is not a food

It's week 10 of semester two. Halfway to go before the end of the semester and things are definitely beginning to pile up. There is a character design presentation on Monday that I'm trying to finish. It's my take on Mary Poppins, Pixar style; and also my first HD video short story assignment. So far, it's been pre-production work. Will start shooting with my team next week after Monday's presentation. Theme for that 5 min short - Horror! And finally, a short presentation on my favourite photographer for Digital Photography this Wednesday.

In the meantime, will leave you with organic modelling. We just began creating a face today. More updates real soon after Monday.

Hi ho - Zoetrope

Watch this first...

Pixar comes up with this great exhibit at Hong Kong Disneyland to explain how animation is created. Apologies for the excessive strobe lighting. You can still see hints of the animation occurring.

Pete Doctor (Director of Monsters Inc and Up) and Pixar Animator Warren Trezevant explains the Zoetrope.


Amazing!

Here's Behind The Scenes at the making of Wall•E...

Incidentally, the making of the movie took 4 years at Pixar which is nothing compared to what I went through. Watching "The Pixar Story" By Leslie Iwerks (grand daughter of Ub Iwerks) on DVD was an incredible 90-min experience! Very moving and touching what the pioneers of this innovative company had to go through. Indeed, there is no such thing as an overnight succcess. Keeps me moving forward in what I do at The Imaginative Factory...
