Just wanted to keep you people posted. Joe's currently doing an elaborate illustration of Morty's surroundings in his assisted-living apartment. It will help me tremendously recreate the set inside the computer. And I'm currently dragging my butt in trying to finish the Morty character himself... complete with wheelchair, hair and an old worn out blanket. Please keep checking back, we should have some very cool stuff to show off this week... maybe even as soon as tomorrow.
ALSO, feel free to use this spot as a sounding board as well... tell us what you like, don't like... is there a way for us to improve on the project, the site... anything! Lay it all out, you're not gonna hurt our feelings. Well, you might hurt mine, but certainly not Joe's. So let him have it.
A web diary marking the proress of the CG short film "The End". Created entirely on Macs and off-the-shelf software (Maxon's Cinema 4D). By Kevin Capizzi, Joe Lalich, and Lee Ehlers.
Seriously? Your banner was what got me to actually read the post. Looks good.
ReplyDeleteThat and I am trying to see when this short film will be viewable, since it seems very interesting.
Thanks for the response (and compliments), Rusty. The banner represents an event later in the movie, and I might post some of the art that went into the creation of that scene as well. Although at this point, the cart is ahead of the horse on that one. We don't really want to give too much away as to the actual gags you'll see in the final version, but for some reason this particular visual stood out to Joe and I as being indicative of the entire film. So we went ahead and modeled the grass and the worm, so that our site would have a feel for what is yet to come.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your last question, this movie is going to take a while. It's just the two of us for now, and to achieve the level of quality we're after, this stuff takes time. A LOT of time. And trust me, both of us are rather impatient to see this finished, but quality has to come first, with as little compromise as possible. Hence, this site. This is to keep those interested to remain included on the long-suffering journey it takes to produce something like this. Of course it also serves to promote our efforts, wherever they may lead. So, keep coming back... if only to pity us.
