Extract said by one of these guys that have made this very funny “remake” in YouTube:
This is for all you animators out there that have had one of those days at work. Footage-Loose is a parody of a certain 80′s movie that may involve a dancing scene, but seen from an animators point of view. Every now and then we just have one of those days where none of our work gets approved and we need to cope with stress somehow. So this is how we deal with it. I do not own any rights to the music in this video. It’s only used for parody purposes. Our workplace does not authorize, or endorse this video.
It was very hard to finish this course and take advantage of the feedback from Rob Hemming, my mentor. Lots of work at the studio, lots of work in the final shot of the course! And very few hours in a day
I’m very proud of the final result of the animation, I tried to create a night environment for the shot, but I’m sure I will re-render all again with a daylight lighting, I think this way brings out the animation.
So this is it, 6 months of very hard work and learning! Hope you all enjoy it as I do!
I got the very good news that Sergio Pablos from SPA Studios is associated with Catmandu Studio and this movie, so we are going to get feedback and corrections directly from him and the artists working there! So I’m very excited about all this and looking forward to having a chat with this very talented animator!
Finally I will be part of the next feature film called “Foosball” as a character animator.
The film is a coproduction between Argentina and Spain under the direction of the Oscar winner Juan Jose Campanella.
There will be a lot of talented people working on this promising movie from around the world.
I have watched the 2D/3D animatic and I can say it’s gonna be very funny to animate.
Good voices from very good actors, nice script and a very ambicious VFX ‘s.
Let’s see how it pans out
No guys!!! It’s not the course from Animation Mentor!!! There are many others around!!!!
The mentor of this course is Rob Hemmings , a very talented creature animator who has developed a very useful quadruped path animation system so that you can save a lot of time in your pipeline.
The web page of the course is www.animationateam.com where you can register for doing it.
This script builds a path instantly and then attaches your animation cycle to it. The path can then be shaped to fit your sequence requirements. The Path System technique provides a quick and easy way to create complex animation. Further animation work is required for some actions once the path animation had been baked out.
In this video Rob shows how to apply this path system and the advantages of it:
QPAS has been used on VFX features and commercials such as:
Volvo – Easter Island Crabs (See opening movie)
Esuvee (Keepitonallfours) – Esuvee Rodeo. (see opening movie)
Happy Potter – Blue Bird.
10,000BC – Tiger, Vulture in flight, Terror Birds.
Hellboy 2 – Flying and walking Tooth Fairies, motion tests for Golden Army robot.
John Carter of Mars – motion tests for Thoat.
I had never had the chance of working in a quadruped animation, so this was the best opportunity to learn from the best.
The best part of all this is the feedback you get in your animations because of the very trained eye that Rob has. I’m really learning a lot, not only the way of using this system but also how to observe and read animal movements and replicate them in your animations.
After 1 year of hard work I can say Glumpers is a finished stage. I’d like to post all the episodes i took part of, but i can only link them to the TV3 webpage for the moment. I’m grateful to this project for letting me be part of this amazing team in REMO studio, I had lots of fun and I learnt a lot, not only as animator but also as a person. So thank you guys for make the studio a very good place to work. For those who don’t know, Glumpers is a TV series produced by Motion Pictures S.A. for Europe
Here are some of the episodes that I took part of:
I started to work at REMO Studio for Glumpers Project , a very funny TV series from Spain. I got into a very professional small team where we all complement each other, having lots of fun and learning a lot. These episodes have to be done for September, so we have a lot of work to do, making this project a big challenge. I’ll post some advances when allowed to do so.
