reeel

my showreel of the passed schoolyear is online. i mixed evrything up, the battleblog, my internship and my exam. looking back i produced quite a lot in one year i think, hadn't felt so until i stuffed all the files into a single project and watched them again. you can see it either here or on my fancy website.
the song is "banquet" by bloc party. nice one.

website!

i made a first version of my portfolio-website. i still needs some fine tuning and more content, but i am pretty satisfied with how it's going to be. check it out:

done! nearly...

the red riding hood animation is nearly ready. i have rendered a preview and now i am looking for errors to be fixed, and work on the sound. i'll talk with some teachers about it and then upload it. beneath you find another short preview, that doesn't spoil the plot.
i am also busy with my website by now. i'll keep it simple and flashy.

'codename red' preview

so, here is another preview, what the atmosphere and style will be like. this is pretty much what it's going to be in the final version. actualy, i was done with this scene a little earlier already, but i don't want to spoil something of the story, it should be a little surprising.
by the way, i programmed flash to rewind the movie once it's played. sounds easy, but try it yourself and you'll see that there is NO such action as "playRewind();".

looking forward

working on red riding hood again. i am really satisfied with what's it's going to look like, especially the visual style and movement. i am going to render an excerpt tonight to show you what the movements looks like.
i am making progress fast by now, only timing is a little problematic, as my computer takes AGES to ram-preview even short scenes. when i am done with the scenes on their own i could better render them on multiple computers in the AKI, and edit the quicktimes together to a movie i guess.

finally final

this time i mean it. i dont't think i'll chnage anything else, as i just don't have time for it. busy with red riding hood again from now on.

last changes. i swear.

ok, so on tuesday i had a chat with Jelliche about the animation. she thought it may be not "deep" enough, and then we came to the great idea, that i could illustrate what the boy thinks. like that he gets a lot more understandable and likeable. he should think about flying of course, as he looks to the sky all the time.
i know i am running out of time, but it's not that much to change, and the animation get's a lot better by this.

hans_final online

it's done. the render REALLY took about 27 hours. i thought my computer was just joking...
however, this is the final version of the "hans guck-in-die-luft" animtion. sound also made especially for it, by Jacob van de Water. unfortunately, the compression makes it look a bit strange.
