Making of Two Worlds

Even thought I believe video games and animation is more of my focus, I still find amazing and extremely interesting to look at some of the good visual effects  that companies like Digital Domain do.
This company is basically one of my favourites in the field, and the portfolio they have is incredibly huge and with the highest standard.

Together with Sony, they made this advert called 'Two Worlds' as part of the promotion for the 3D products. Using the slogan "Don't just watch. Feel" I think that the producers had a really accurate vision of the final product.
The video below show's the process or making of Two worlds, and it's always fascinating to get to see all the people involved and the range of disciplines that have to work together to achieve such unique standards.

Wicked Animatic

Defying Gravity Storyboards from Heidi Jo Gilbert on Vimeo.

This is an animatic I found from Heidi Jo Gilbert, a CalArts artist. In it is a possible representation if the play Wicked was transformed into an animation. The concept is awesome and obviously the songs are fantastic.
I found it interesting because it gave me a good idea of what actual professionals take as storyboarding and animatics and it helps me to race my standards on my own work.
(I did not download this song for my ipod after this... ) 

Isolation III

This is the animatic with the music composed by Adam Fergler.
It's not the final version at this point but I'm pretty happy of how well it goes and how much it pushed up the whole feeling of the animation.

Outline your implications - II

Because the video had no lines at all we thought the music composition should be something important to consider and luckily a friend of mine, Dr. Adam Fergler, agreed to help us with it.
The video below is a quick animatic that I made for him estimating the timing for most of the shots that would give him a good start for the melody creation.

This is just a short preview of what the final melody will be like. Basically he's waiting for the real footage to be done and once we get closer to the final product after some editing he'll be able to finish some details to fit the video correctly. 

So far Adam is also going to work on the melody for our second poem. Can't thank him enough.
