Team Sanctuary (mobile edition)

Work on Blake's space courtesy of Jarrod Linton. I've also started replacing CD placeholders with Paul's CD model but much to do.

Shaved nearly 30secs off the State Registry sequence. Removed the throwing paper shots, wasn't working.

Minor update - bv_74 and bv_74_a have newer virtual environment courtesy of Jarrod

No change to content. Fixed frame count so that it again matches the TGA image sequence from the grade.

The iCinema centre at UNSW, Sydney, is currently hosting a work with an aesthetic similar to Blake's space. In contrast to conventional cinema, where viewers passively watch a singular linear story unfold on a flat screen, iCinema’s T_Visionarium allows viewers to explore and edit a multitude of stories, in three dimensions, on a 360-degree fully surrounding screen.

Welcome aboard to Inma and Marcus of Stradbroke Advisors who have come onboard to advise MOD Films on growing the business. As this re-posted video shows, Inma has been expressing similar views on the commercial value of mashups. The abrupt ending is in the source clip. Source: http://www.vimeo.com/439590

Started adding Paul's new CD animations for classroom. A few more shots to replace

I showed this video at the Edinburgh TV Unfestival on the weekend. A mix of previous vids.

This was the original animatic done prior to going to Sydney to crew up for the shoot. We should have probably redone this after slashing elements like the dogs with visors for eyes and a bunch of action stuff. But I encountered enough resistance from the live action crew to simply follow the boards as it was. Things haven't changed tooo much...

Video shown at Portobello Film Festival to illustrate how the re-mixable film idea evolved from combining web3D, VJ and film post production techniques. I grabbed some 3D worlds off the net to illustrate how Sanctuary virtual camera data can be re-mixed.

Testing how Blake can change her look in this shot.

Some tests of shots in real-time to the tune of Survivalism - NIN's re-mixable track available in Garageband format

Troopers and nanobats test

I've spent the last couple of days clawing my way into Maya 8.5. It's not what you would call an easy piece of software but I'm starting to feel like I have some understanding of what's going on. It felt like a real milestone to render out the matchmove camera for scene ds_115_e and comp it into Shake. http://thequality.com/flics/10weeks/blog/archives/002594.html#002594
