Hi Sacha, Thanx mate. :-) let's have some fun.

‘Hell Harpoons’: Operation Normandy
(Inspired by Cervantes’ Don Quixote)

Retired ww2 veteran lieutenant colonel ‘Don Jose Garcia Armando III’ of the US marine Corps and his old friend, comrade and ‘Aide-de-camp’ corporal ‘Emilio Sanchez Paznar’ riding a modified vintage motorcar in chase of the lethal devil panzer tanks, hunting them down on the roads of Normandy, northern France. They named themselves the ‘Hell Harpoons’.

Ok, sounds cool, but there is only one problem, the year is 2005 (60 years after the war is finished) and those monstrous Panzers are truly almost-harmless small and shiny modern family cars!

Nobody knows how many cars they have wrecked. They just suddenly appear, smash a parked car and disappear without any trace, just like the old partisans but without casualties! Tiger tank or Volkswagen beetle, there is no difference. Surprisingly all police pursues on them have gone unsuccessful till now.

Characters:

Jose G. Armando -of a noble family- is 80 years old and a total freak. He has never been in war against Nazis. Actually he joined the force in 1945 right after the war is over, but he was living in his fantasies, such a comic book geek and a Hollywood movie fanatic who was hunting the Nazi tanks all the time in his dreams, he was unlucky that the war just finished a few hours after he signed in! He is the master mind of the group and a weapon specialist.

Emilio S. Paznar is 60. He joined military service in 1965 and meet Don. Their common route and interests makes them very close friends and since Don had a greater rank he became Don’s trustful Aide-de-camp. He is not cleaver but wiser than his chief. He knows his place and he is just there to help, obey, and clean the mess that old freak causes all the time, frankly he saved Don’s life more than 10 times. Also he is a very great mechanic; it was him who prepared their 1930 powerful 8 cylinders road runner for the operations.

Their passion about the ww2 bravery action stories simply overran their anti-communism fever and post-ww2 cold war era. So they formed a team named ‘Hell Harpoons’ in 1985 after they resigned from Military and decided to go back to Normandy where they had some unfinished business! A bit too late though, but who cares, they could still find some German tourists spending their miserable vacation in France!

The group has a third member too (he sits right behind Don in the cargo place. He joined ‘Hell Harpoons’ in 1995. but lets forget him now! I just can tell you that he is young boy and responsible for the supply and supports.

Sorry guys, but I couldn't resist, I did a lil test render with the WIP model! :-P

[Matroskin]

Hi ila_solomon,
Very, very cool car design. You kept that 30-40's retro-cartoon-style! Amazing.
The only thing which concerns me is that on scetches cars appears elastinc and soft and if it will fit existig model (or vice-versa).

[Climax]

• Wow! I want a ride! :buttrock::buttrock:Looking good Ila!

[AJ]

Fantastic sketches Ila - the design of the car is excellent!

Very glad you're in this one :D

[ilasolomon]

Thanx Aj, Climax and Deryk, cheers!

Yes in sketches it looks more cartoon, well, I think I am able to deform it later as much as I want without no problem, we will see how much it needs it. ;-)

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Better late than never ...so here it goes ....


:bounce: ILA ILA ILA ILA :bounce:

Looks -cough- good! A great and funny idea. Love it much!

[aliasali]

Ila,u again?again with ur killing models! of course i agree with what deryk said,about the elastiness of the caar,c=isnt it somehow rough?make it more smooth!

Wow! Those proportions are beyond divine! They're... solomanic!

For Don Jose, I think I like the upper right side version the most. I love all of the sketches and this entry looks like its going to turn out great!

More...

Now I think I should continue in the third dimension instead!

I agree that the up-right version of the first Don sketch has the best proportion, I consider that in mind.

[Harry D'Amour]

Man, this is so lovely. I can't wait to see it modeled. You have some great concept. :thumbsup:

[JamesMK]

Ha, this is brilliant. Aaaaaaaand with the expected level of humour. Do go on and add the odd dimension to those, will ya?

[Deadlyforce]

:thumbsup:

[Matroskin]

Wow, wow, wow!!! Just can't find words!!
So cool, SO funny, SO expressive!!
It would be hard to modell in 3d, especially position it, but I guess it worth it!
I already add it to my favoriteshttp://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon13.gif

[ilasolomon]

...It would be hard to modell in 3d, especially position it, ...

:-D I'm worried too! damn ... anyway, this is called 'challenge', yeah!

And about you? Looking for a job in America?

Cya dude,

[ilasolomon]

Ladies and Gentlemen, here is the latest and the last update! I think I am going to end this, reasons? ok... here is the most important one:

I'm developing a short animation, I've started a few months ago and it has a few months to go, If I suspend it I wont be able to send it to Ottawa's animation festival (deadline is 18 june!), and since I like this Idea of my challenge (though it's not so master/slave relative) I'd rather keep it for a better use (like a comic strip or a short animation) or for another challenge (that may fit this better).

So, I appriciate everynody's encouragement and support here, thank you all. and I'm still tracking the challengers' every move! :-)

wish me luck with my little short animation project instead!

(Seems now challengers have more chance to win! :P)

Regards

Ila

[ace4016]

I;m sorry to hear that. This was going to be a great entry too. But I guess you gotta do what you gotta do:sad: . Best of luck on your other projects, and hope to see these characters and story at a later time.

[Mandrake]

Ila, does that project has its place on the web, and if not, could you share some details. I promise I wont tell anybody:)

best luck, ofcourse..

[digones]

Wow! it's so cool that you're goin' to make a short movie, Ila! do you have anything to show about this one?

best luck on this new "challenge" of yours! "wip"



(Seems now challengers have more chance to win! :P)


let's hope so!!! hehehe :bounce: :bounce: specially for newbie guys like me :D



cheers, my friend! :beer:

[ilasolomon]

Thank you Rodrigo!
Thank you Ace!
Thank you Vanja! yes it does, here you go my friend (shhh, yes, dont tell anybody!) http://www.ilasolomon.com/moogoo/previews.htm

[kmest]

Great to hear that,,,not for leaving the chaleng,but for Your animation:thumbsup:
keep it done mate,,i love the images,,,and i hope it has some of those funny animates of yours:bounce::bounce:

[dobermunk]

As much as I hate to see the 'realists' profit from the withdrawal of your wonderful, toonish entry - I hereby give you a hardy handshake.

Post a clip from your short and you'll get front page! But don't post everything - that qualifies as publication and will make the film ineligible for some festivals. You can post the whole kit'n'kaboodle after you've cleaned up all the prizes ;-)

[ilasolomon]

Thanx Reza
Right, David, Only 1/2 of film is online (and 1/2 of SB too) for preview only. will be like this all the way! (rest will be available for the members of the 'brainpets' order in a secret place!)

[AJ]

I'm simultaneously happy and miserable.... On the one hand, I (and everyone elese) no longer has to compete with you - this makes me happy! On the other hand, there won't be any updates on your thread - this makes me very unhappy...

However, the prospect of seeing your animated short in few months does sort out the balance & has me grinning again. :D

You realise you are going to have to keep everyone here constantly updated on your progress - it's the least you can do after teasing us with such fantastic concepts and then running away.

Good Luck Ila - now get moogooing!

(*edit* - I've just noticed your signature change, I... I don't know what to say! :love: )

[aliasali]

its great to hear that ur preparing for Otava:deal: ,but i am terribly thirsty to see ur cool models,ila!

harja ke hasty movafagh o moayyad bashi,Ila khan! U ROCK!:bounce:

[ilasolomon]

AhmadAli: Thank you man

Hehe! thanx Aj, You know it drives me crazy when a guy with NO special talent and a weak entry gets 30 pages of crappy 'you are the god of CG' stupid comments from fan kids, and some got almost no attention when they have cool and original stories to tell. :-) this is the least I can do!

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Hi Ila, i am very unhappy to see that u may not continue on this....your concepts are so fun and original man. I was waiting something extreme and with houmor like the one in Machine flesh.....i feel a bit sad 'cuase i always learn different things from your work my friend. :sad: :love:


On the other hand i 've seen your work in progress of your short ..and i kinda understand why u want to continue on this :thumbsup: ....

But i do hope that someday u will make your Master & Servant concept in 3d.....


Always enjoyed your different approach in every challenge subject ...

Be well...and hope i see soon finished your animation short man!
Salam.

Dimitris :)

[RezaMisaghi]

Congers , Finally your going to finish a short animated film !! Good news . I think there will be a lot of festivals for you , not just Ottawa !!

Hi Andy! ... Thanx, but I think you've missed an important post of mine! :D ;)

[Frinsklen]

you mean the 3d car? I did see it, looks very good, but you kept sketching and sketching after that, so I say, let's see some polygons or you're gonna run out of time, and you know it... :)

(Seems now challengers have more chance to win! :P)
oh, okay, good luck then. I suppose now you have more time for that little shortfilm of yours, so you'd better keep us posted and hurry up a little or we'll get really really impacient and angry and we will erase all your files in your hd and you will have to start all over again and will regret the fact that you've abandoned this challenge for the rest of your life.

ha!

[hands0nfire]

very great work and I wish you all the luck ...:thumbsup:
