Static Mono-Video Stop Motion Test A1CAM

Here is a static camera test and one axis spin test. It went well for being done pretty fast. I will begin working on the rig next for a static test with a stereo camera.

Forward Motion

The new animation studio we will use at school.

This is a video I made to demonstrate our workspace and stereo rig that I have named "Elephant Leg" rig.

"Short" Set Construction Begins

Tonight we started to construct the set for our test short film called "Short." The set will eventually be an old house setting. Some photos of our progress are below.

The Team, The Dream, and Testing

The Team:

::Ben Phillippe:: (Fundamental artist and thespian) Ben is a great conveyer of plot, he can communicate visually with little effort.

::Chauncey Frend:: (Production & Data Logistics) Chauncey knows how to organize and plan a project down to people's very chemistry as a team. His skills are of wide range, and is most valuable when a project is having problems. http://www.chaunceyworks.com

::Colin Orr:: (Animator) Colin's perseverance during tedious stop motion animation is critical to this project's success and he is capable. His chemistry with the team is rare and offers much in fresh ideas.

::Aaron Gallimore:: (CGI & Data Processing) Aaron's work is the super glue if you will that has made and will make projects solid pieces in the end . His constant checking and rechecking of every element of the production process is what keeps the team on our toes. He is the master of audio for our team also.
