Production update

Production seems to go pretty smooth on our short film: the 3d machine. Last weeks production meeting was very promising. Here's a list of the total crew:
Animator and director: Joost van den Bosch and Erik Verkerk
Producer: Marlou Rutten
Background artist: Jelle Gijsberts
Composer: Irene Vivanco
Foley artist: Jos van Galen
Coach: Raymond van der Kaaij

Animation seems to go a lot faster than expected, about a third is already done. In two weeks Jelle will start doing backgrounds, and around that time Irene will start work on the score.

Below's a gag we were thinking of puting in the film, but it didn't make it...

weirdo beardo

I took this picture of us to celebrate Eriks' beard!
He's been growing it for a while now.
And I still remember when he started off with a moustache.
Look at him now! all grown and fully bearded!

wow 3D

after trying different ways to achieve the 3d look on our film we finally found the best working one.
we are very happy with the result and can't wait to finish the film!
here's a sample!

Beautiful bg's
