Re: [videoblogging] 3D animator [WAS Re: Elephants Dream film is an open source success story]
Hey OJ,I took a look at your animated vlog - good stuff!I guess it is a matter of finding your week to week format - how the show is going to appear from episode to episode? So you will be able to streamline your productions from week to week.Do you createall the animation from scratch with each episode?I know a fewanimators that followa story biblefor all their episodesand produce severalepisodes (aheadof time) before release on the net...that way they are able to release one a week whileproducing the others.Some simplify their animation format or look of the show in order to deliver a weekly show...but the animationis not so complex.Johnie T ojjolly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My goal had been 1 three-minute episode per week.

Hi Johnie, Thanks. I'd say that about 70% of the animation is new for each episode. Thanks for your tips... some things for me to consider. Just spent quite a bit of time following several links on your cartoons page on cartoonmogul.com. Wow! The modeling and character animiation of Sussi, highly dynamic Dance on Web, Ze Frank humor, overwhelming, what a collection!

[videoblogging] 3D animator [WAS Re: Elephants Dream film is an open source success story]
Thanks, Josh! I'm doing the animations in Poser, using pre-made, customized pre-made models, and original models. The original models are made in Lightwave. I did not know of the 3dwarehouse... looks very promising so far. Thanks for the tip. I usually prowl around http://renderosity.com/ and http://daz3d.com/ when shopping for pre-made models. I agree, Casey. Pre-mades are the only way to go when time is a concern. I've been using live footage with the animations at times, which usually speeds things up a bit, but mostly I use the live footage for reasons other than speed. At this point I am only posting about once every 2 weeks. OJ --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Joshua Kinberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey OJ, Cool stuff.
