I think the documentary idea should be put to a different thread, as its really worth doing, but I feel that having multiple ideas in one thread will just serve to confuse all of them. It would be good to show both as one piece if they both get made. The CGI piece could work as a 40 second introduction to the other.
So far, on the CGI idea, we potentially have these artists interested 1 Paul Smith Generalist, ICE skills and character / mocap and animation 2 Artur Wozniak 3D Generalist, non-character animation, rendering, some nuke, VFX 3 Perry Harovas I am a generalist, but have good modeling skills and lighting/rendering skills. I am also a Nuke user, and could help composite. 4 Francisco Criado generalist , can also do compositing. 5 Paul Griswold 6 Eugene Flormata generalist, I'd prefer to animate something though. I never get to do that enough at work. 7 Emilio Hernandez 3D generalist, character->modeling, rigging. mid ICE level. Comp, editing and VFX here ready for battle. 8 Jason S Generalist/comp/matte paintings 9 Christian Lattuada 10 Rob Chapman ICE FX artist/TD, Softimage user for EIGHTEEN YEARS 11 Sebastian Sterling Im a Modeller, prefer characters but Multi-purpose. 12 Dan Pejril I am a generalist in Softimage with ICE skills, animation and rendering (recently I have been using 3delight and Redshift).I have a background in character animation and medical animation. 13 David Saber 14 Greg Punchatz I would be happy to edit it all together into a cohesive piece . Put music to it etc.... 15 Gustave Eggert Boehs generalist, leaning towards ice/fx stuff, can composite in nuke 16 Rares Halmagean 17 Alok Gandhi custom tools/ plugins development required, custom ICE nodes in C++ or any other tech stuff that needs to be developed. 18 Scott-turb- generalist 19 Jens Lindgren VFX Supervisor with broad knowledge of ICE and compositing in Nuke 20 Richard Costin I bring character and prop modeling, shading, lighting, rendering, and some animation. Storyboards, matte painting and concept design experience as well. 21 Nicolas Esposito 22 Arvid Bjorn cg sup and generalist, leaned towards lighting and shading. 23 Siew Yi Liang animation From: olivier jeannel Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 10:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: A germ of an idea. Thinking outloud here, I like the "after life of pi" format, very human very easy to set-up, a camera, a micro, a light. But not every one is an actor, and someone wrote somewhere that "animators make their creatures do things they can't do in real life". So an open patchwork aproach is IMHO a good way to go, at least diversity should show richness. A little introduction of SI history, asking Steve Blair maybe, his the memory here, he could compile an efficient short intro. Imho, gathering the letters from Glasswork, Seshsusht, Mills, Janimation, etc. would make a strong backbone to the "documentary" with orbitting around intervention from Artist such as Tim Borgmaan to show the single/personnal level. The movie should show IMHO, the "state" of the today industry, the consequences/impact of AD decision at industry and personnal level. it should show how bad was the behavior of AD since it buy Softimage, with facts. Interviewing ex Coders should give good anecdotes I'm all for expressing the anger of people the one that is unpolite, not everyone can hold himself ...that's nature and that's entertaining. There's plenty to tell with a lot of logic and a common will . Le 12/03/2014 10:19, Nicolas Esposito a écrit : Thats would be lovely! In addition to what have been proposed, I was thinking ( since Softimage has been around for a very long time ) to do an action-oriented video thats shows the "history" of Softimage and all the great stuff that have been made with it- A small T-Rex walks around looking for food being hunted by Snake from Metal Gear Solid 4 in its camouflage suit. Camera change angle and up on a tree Ezio Auditore from Assassins Creed do a leap of faith into a lake from where one of the creature from MIB emerges. MIB guys shows up and start following the creature, then the creature is blasted away by Dante from Devil May Cry. Meanwhile Marv from Sin City start fighting a giant T-Rex, and Lego Batman is helping him with his lego-gadgets. Cut up in the sky where Final Fantasy guys are fighting monsters from Aaron Sims weird design, panning over giant spaceships dogfighting... Well, the list goes on and on and on :-) 2014-03-12 9:28 GMT+01:00 Jens Lindgren <[email protected]>: Count me in!
