Hi ,

i'm still working on this short, but the trailler is finally ready.

The main tool for this project is Newtek Lightwave and Pgm Messiah and Kaydara Filmbox for character animation.
My site now also contains a tutorial section with some hints & tips about Lightwave.

This project is really time consuming for me, and all comments are welcome :p

You can have a look to the Crusader part here :

First you have a great website and selection of download formats, the animation contains great modelling and character animation. I'm not sure if the music (at the begining) gels properly with the footage. Also the flow of the shots dont really present a story to the viewer rather it looks like a sequence of very nice technical shots for a demo reel.

It does look good though I'll look forward to seeing more.

Hi,

and first of all, thank you for the reply.

Well, i agree most of your comments.
Weak point of the trailler is its totally 'not linked to the story' conception. I thought story was too complex to resume it into one minute, maybe it wasnt a good idea afterall :)

For now this project is a single-man job, so i got a lot of stuff to prepare & to organise. I'd like to work on it more than i can right now. i'll post new characters and work soon i hope.

Ben Chapé.
