JM, Timeframe would be around 2 months from concept art, character design, storyboard and revisions, 2D animatic, 3D animatic, to all the 3D stuffs we all love.
Shed is a little army/familly of passionate peoples. Maybe around 12-14 artists participated on the project. Here is the breakdown of our resources, human and machines… (wow…that sounded weird to say) …. feel's like the matrix.. Here's the credits to my team: 1 Illustrator/story artist = Benoit Theriault Our lead modeller Mikhail Semionov with the help of Marc Lebuis and Isabelle Mainville 4 Animators = PH, Guillaume Pelletier, David St-Amant, Christine Houle 1 Character TD/Pipeline = Miquel Campos 1 ICEman for hair grooming and sims = Luc Girard 1 FX artist for smoke and PES (particles in suspension) Dominik Kirouac 2 Lighters/comper on Arnold/Nuke = JSeb and Bruno-Olivier Laflame 2 Texture artist on Mari = Isabelle Mainville and Marc Lebuis 1 Onliner on the Flame = Nicolas Pellicelli I've only participated into client meetings, approbations, and all the political stuffs. ;-) …. i may have suspended a pass or 2 on the farm because it was failing….. wow my job is too cool!! Software and hardware: Softimage 2013 sp1, Nuke, Photoshop, Mari, Mudbox, Framecycler……. but mostly Windows Explorer V156… hep. I prefer dolphin but for now we are mostly windows 7 x64. We use Gear with a bit of customizing for rigging our characters, (correct me if i am wrong Miquel)… We use Exocortex Alembic for all of our animation caches needs except for the hairs (for now). Our render farm (used along with deadline 5.1) consist of a couples of older blades for Nuke and 25 for Arnold long hours crushing. Wich some of the latest are 24 threaded machines with 16 to 32 gigs of ram. That's pretty it…. nothing very fancy except from very talented artists with big hearts and ambitions. Kudos to them! sly Sylvain Lebeau // SHED V-P/Visual effects supervisor 1410, RUE STANLEY, 11E ÉTAGE MONTRÉAL (QUÉBEC) H3A 1P8 T 514 849-1555 F 514 849-5025 WWW.SHEDMTL.COM (http://www.shedmtl.com/) <http://WWW.SHEDMTL.COM (http://www.shedmtl.com/)> On Wednesday, 8 May, 2013 at 10:20 AM, john clausing wrote: > very nice! > > From: jm khayat <[email protected] > (mailto:[email protected])> > To: [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) > Sent: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 10:08 AM > Subject: Re: Latest work from SHED - Behind-The-Scenes > > Beautiful work guys, loved every part of it, character design, layout, > animation, render, FX > Congrats!! > > What was the time frame and ressources avaliable for this commercial ? > -- > > JM Khayat > Founder / COO > > www.moondog-animation.com (http://www.moondog-animation.com/) > > mobile: +33 6 99 79 56 98 > > > > > CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: Privileged/Confidential information may be > contained in this message and is intended only for the use of the addressee. > Please advise immediately if you or your employer do not consent to Internet > e-mail for messages of this kind.
