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.

Fanmail

Wow!!! Our studio is getting is getting fanmail! My good friend bassie is responsable for this wonderful piece of art. Thank you Bassie!!! Now if anyone would like to follow Bassie's example, that be awesome. All fanmail will be posted on the blog. I like vla!!!

Little update

Yeah yeah, I know. It's time for an update. But there's not so much to show. Joost is enjoying his holiday, and I'm just back from enjoying mine. Currently I'm storyboarding on our new short film the '3d machine'. All is going well, and when the storyboard becomes less rough, I'll be sure to post some images. Till then, just hang in there!

holidays

it must have something to do with the whole holiday-thing going on these months........
