Hey, Raph !

This is a great animation reel :applause:

I really like your work as always.

:beer:

[AWAKE]

YEAH MAN>


well done. the entire thing is wrapped pretty tight. the only part that stood out was the first shot of the guy doing the ballet jumps. they seemed out of character after wtching the whole thing through. but whatever, this is very very strong work.


congratulations:thumbsup:

What the heck are they feeding these kids at the VFS?

Good job guys!

[Vic3k]

it's not the school that matters, its the initial pppl before they even got to school. the would come out with the same resaults had they went it other school. it's just vfs is popular than others and instruction is better then in some other places. but again, its the ppl what matters, not where they go. talent is talent.

can't dl both. seems vfs ftp is flooded

[Stimpy]

wow, impressive stuff for sure... i actually must admit i didnt expect it to be XSI. dont ask me why though being an avid xsi user myself.

any tips on how you achieved the look of that lion ???? i´m still not sure if its 3D or not.... prolly heavily post processed or something ???? edge filter,etc??

[Akuma]

wow that was really cool, well composed and the music fits it perfectly, good work! :)

[edaddy]

yea i can't DL the video either

[davids]

dynamite raph.. make an explosion at siggraph! .. you rule keep it up and have a good break!

[MrSolo]

Ohhh Yeahhhh!!!!

AWSOME short...

It is always a big pleasure to see EXCELLENT stuff coming outta vfs!!!

Great work!!!:thumbsup:

[Slater]

Hey there, me and a friend were just trying to watch your reel but the video stopped half way through (right when the lion jumps out of the sky)
From what I saw it looked great, too bad we can't see the rest of it. :hmm:

[squeezestudio]

Great style ... MMMmmm i like the little bird !!!

[flamedevil]

Excellent short, one of the best i've ever seen !
The lighting is splendid :buttrock:

Is the lion in 2d or 3d, or both ?

Congrats. :thumbsup:

[ed209]

Incredible. One of the better short films I've seen from that school. Hell one of the better shorts I've seen in a long time.

[santiago]

[Tellerve]

hmmm, i'd love to see it but I've tried 3 times now to download it and I've gotten corrupted files, it won't play back in quicktime, and then some other even stranger error mixed with a timeout.

*shrugs* how about I just go with the flow and assume it is good.

[santiago]

I managed to download it!

haha

it looks cool man! congrats

[dongle]

Great job Raph! Its incredible how well everything works together. Yours is the first animation that I have really seen from animatic to final and its been really neat.

VFS rocks the hardest!

[DarkSun]

Hi Raph,
Really nice job man :applause: I like the style of your world and animation :cool: Keep up the great work...

[Manicalavera15]

Great job, some defaults in the animation (head movments, jumps of the lion...) but really amazing global work:surprised

timing with music is nice too, COOL !:thumbsup:

[zero@work]

:buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

excellent stuff! i love the look and the story!! also the music fits very good to the situation!

five stars!

:beer:

[stephen2002]

Wow, great stuff. I really like the expressions on the guy. The planet being a balloon is a great effect. The lion was also impressive with the shading effects.

The only thing that looks odd is the walking right in the beginning, it seemed too exagerated.

Great stuff, here is a mirror of the file:

I'll leave it up for a while. If you want me to take it down let me know.

[sabsalie]

nice idea!!
good~~~:bounce: :beer: :bounce:

[Microbe]

Amazing! great story telling, music and synch are perfect!
Just loving it! :buttrock:

[d4rk]

Looks awesome!

[Phugative]

Excellent Work!
The concept is and style is fantastic. The animation is clean and well timed. However, I would almost say it is a little too over exaggerated. So much in fact, the actions almost still seem pose to pose. This was just my first impression and thats what sticks. Nonetheless, excellent job, beautiful piece, keep up the inspirational work!

[mikeS]

hi there

Amazing work!!!!!!!:thumbsup: Just excellent.!!! I love that style in your animation. woh the vancouver film school has to be an awesome place to learn animation ,really great!!!!



Keep keeping on !

[fr3drik]

Impressing!
Is it possible to see your curriculum at VFS somewhere?

[rperkins]

Hey guys, thank you very much for the feedback... sorry for the delay on my response...

the hole project took me about 7 months to complete, as for the lion, it was rendered with toon lines and constant material for the filling.

[gary hsu]

yo, perkin, what are you doing here on the net?? don't you have some wedding to go to?????????????????????:bounce: :bounce:
:wip: :wip: :wip:

[ACIDman]

Great work! By the way Im form Vancouver too. So I wanna ask you some things. My ICQ is 110572017.
C ya!

[goosh]

Great work.. I love the style.. the light and the rendering..

The animation is very snapy, great timing..

I thought that when he grabs the moon and gets on top of it could be better... I just felt that the grip wasn't strong enough for him to pull the move..

Great stuff.. good luck

Goosh

[facial]

Well done, I love this clip. really Coooooooool. you guys has nice fine art eyes also. Keep post more, again, Well done. :thumbsup:

I love the way you ended this animation.Very Funny stuff.

How long into the course did you start working on it?:

:beer: :beer:

[digital_rhino]

Is the entire student body of VFS posting in this thread? geesh. :rolleyes:

Im only kidding all. Truth is...you guys up there are producing some incredible work for being students. This piece is professional quality. Great job.

[munkY]

beautiful, so beautiful :applause:

[jchoi]

Pseudo Rules!!!
hahaha Raph, like I said before, this kicks A$$!!!

:thumbsup:

[nomad_girl]

0verall look is really beautiful. I really like the toon shader on the lion juxtaposed with the modeling of the archer. the bird is just wonderful, great coloration on him & he moves really well too, jumpy and nervous-- the eye movements are perfect.

great turn on the lion as he jumps down to the planet!

best of luck in the future!

[Shock6822]

Great job man....I liked the little birdy more than anyhting else :P

[asia]

Raph,

Beautiful work! Can't believ this is your FIRST animation! Looking forward to your future work soon. The offer's still on if you return to Vancouver! ;)

[Colin de bink]

I love it! great story, I love the bird and the whole style is just insane.

great!!! :drool:

[xynaria]

Gets my vote too :beer: :beer:

[michelleblue]

Excellent job Rapheal!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[michelleblue]

[rperkins]
