Yesterday we held a pre-screening for our financial sponsor(the Rotterdam filmfund) of our upcoming short film 'the 3d-Machine'.

We showed them the whole film which is not yet completed, but in a viewable state.
And we showed an already a short sequence in finished material in 3d!
The people were really enthousiastic about the film.
And thats great to hear since we've been workin for a little while now on this project.
Below you'll see some great images of the final film to be.

Bee Gees

everybody loves the Bee Gees, especially when they are sung by Jelle Gijsberts.
Jelle really makes something special out of it!
here is a real cool beegee from our film.
after jelle finished it we made it in 3D, for some eye poppin action!
jelle only has like 60 more to go and then he can rest a little.

BALKANIMA

Yep!
tommorow we'll take a plane to Milan and then from there we'll fly to Belgrado in Serbia.
The European Animation Filmestival BALKANIMA will be held there.
Our film 'The Shoebox' will also be screened.
so we decided to go as well and pay the Serbs a visit.

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

Here is two backgrounds Jelle did for our film. He calls em only sketches, I call them feckin' amazing!

3d machine designs

We are currently working hard on designing all the characters and props for our film, here are some of em:

showreel

hip hip Hooraah!
we have made an new showreel with recent work on it
yep thats right! now you can actually see what we're talking about all this time.
Just click the image below!

First animated shot

Yeah woohoo, the first shot animated!!! Only 124 to go. We animated this scene just to see it the flashkit works, well, yes it works. For this shot to be final it still needs a background, effect animation, 3d compositing and a stereo-anaglyphic render to make it pop out of your screen!

3d machine

All goes well with production on our new short film: the 3d Machine. First draft of the storyboard is finished. Now we're working on making flash-kits. Here's a first attempt.
