[marciowski]

Fantastic Job as always!

5 stars and frontpage stuff for sure. I just don't like that monkey (ok, chimp). It's ugly and deserved to die anyway.

[DimitrisLiatsos]

.....no words. The direction.... :bowdown: ...the quality...wow.

[Simbyotic]

Fantástico, é com muito prazer que vou ver isso cá em Portugal.

[imashination]

Excellent animation, but its a bit too far in the direction of 'save the fluffy animals, think of the children!' for me.

[chasilva]

Very good!

Bom pra caralho!

[leif3d]

I thought it was hilarious when the animals committed suicide :D

Overall an incredible production though.:drool:

[CryingHorn]

Awesome!

Very sad, but makes a point.

[RobertoOrtiz]

Great work!

Plugged!

[ccherrett]

I am not for global warming (if indeed I am being told the truth about the climate), however this AD smells of heavy propaganda.

Nice render.

[opera]

Cool !

What 's the render engine used and the hair system, please ?

thanks

[MindTraveler]

Umm... wow. Super Duper wow. Full of thought. Cheers.

[Itsgallus]

//Whoa !!

I'm just stunned........

Excelent quality.....

//cheers

[Rofideo]

Excelent production.

Agree the chimp modeling isent so god, but the animation is great.
Not talking about spectacular, is more like surgery acurate- just perfect.

The Hair is superb and feel real

Keep doing your best :thumbsup:

5Sarts well deserved front page.

[Seagulls-Fly]

Hi All

Thank you for all yours replys!
We are editing a making-of and will post soon.
All done in 3DMax with Mental Ray and Scanline(hair and Fur), Zbrush for modeling and Combustion for the compositing.

All the best

Great Work ! :)

5 stars!

[SebastianPatric]

Ha ha, that's terrible. I like the environments and the subtle animation on the monkey and the bear. The Kangaroo looks like an afterthought (maybe the fur could be better). The theatrical post-processing stuff is pretty cool if a little too visible. Polar bear is my favorite segment in terms of rendering quality on the ice and lighting. I won't bother analyzing the message (so as not to change the subject) other than to say it may have been a bit heavy-handed. I dare say that the melodramatic hilarity of animal suicide makes the whole thing seem like its meant to satirize the spot's own message, but you have no control over what the client wants. Overall, you delivered a well produced animation.

[msouza]

Hi Opera. I didn't have a chance to work much on that job cause i was on doing other things here. I just helped with little and very subtle smokes on some shots, but i can answer your question about render engine and fur.

The Render and Fur used was just the tools that came packed on 3DSMax.
Render Engine: MentalRay and Fur, Hair&Fur (3dsmax).

I was shocked by the results too. Specialy the polar bear scenes and fur look. :)

[Piramide]

Wonderful, wonderful..... work...
congratulations for all team.. :bowdown:

[Aline3D]

Wonderful result... congratulations for we :bounce:

[Polydrawer]

next to the wonderfull cgwork this really brings the message to the people in the best visual/emotional way possible

great work!

[mayazeus]

Beautiful work.....very very well done in all aspects.

[Seagulls-Fly]

Hi all!

Thank you very much for the replies!
We are working in a making of to show details about the production. I will post it here as soon as it gets ready.
We used 3DMax, Mental Ray, Scanline render (for the Hair and Fur), ZBrush and Combustion for compositing.

[opera]

thanks !

The hair and fur system of 3dsmax is very good ( it's Shave and Haircut coded by Joe Alter)... The good side of MAx, you can choose between a lot of render engine to speed up your production.

I am focused on fur (trying to learn how to produce realistic animal fur ) Shave n Hair cut is the best solution if you can't code your own system.

Did you use multiple pass for fur ? ( wetness, shadow, reflection, normal color, alpha) or a single pass ?
yes please, a scene breakdown ;)

[bbarbi]

Beautiful work!:)

[David-J]

Amazing stuff. Very well deserved Front Page. I agree, can you share more info on how did you do it?

5*

[ne3go]

I loved it! One of the best works, and not only technically! Congrats!

[staniol]

this is absolutelly amazing, really moving :cry: :buttrock:

[z3phon]

Top quality work!

[OneSharpMarble]

Really nice, the propaganda is absurd but it's really nice cg.

[webhead]

Very dramatic piece of work here. Very dark. However, I would agree that our Earth is need of some real attention. Wildlife already has it tough enough in this world because of loss of habitat, pollution, poaching, and overfishing, without having to worry about global warming. What a disturbingly odd coincidence, too: I actually saw a sparrow that hung itself just last week. I kid you not! There is actual video proof of it. Although, I doubt he hung himself intentionally, he did hang himself, nonetheless.
It was both a sad, and yet very curious sight to see. Your animation made that little bird's death all the more poignant.

[skabadabadu]

Very nice!!:cool:

[noob-saibot]

This is fantastic awesome work! and what a great message!

Please post on youtube or something easier to see, so people all over can watch it and spread it.

I think it is super important for people to be aware of this, and I cant think of a better way.

Again, amazong job.

[grassetti]

yea thats really great ! you people at seagulls dont ever stop :P

I just dont like the final result of the monkey, probably because of the modeling.
Anyway, amazing work!

Congrats again!

Rafael

[Zaak]

Not too crazy about the slogan in the end...heart wrenching imagery though.
Technically top notch stuff.

[AUMAKUA]

Excellent work, with a great message :applause:

[eonridr]

wow.. i'm very impressed. I'm abit stunned at first when the monkey commit suicide, and i thought "wow isnt that going abit too far", but when i see the powerful message in the end, it suits very well indeed. Great job man. :D

[djart73]

This is a great piece of work!
Stored this one on my Harddisk...
I liked the Message at the End very much.

Great!!!

[inakito]

Brilliant work and idea,
beleza!!!

[MrPositive]

Absolutely love it, and this wouldn't get played in the US in a million years of global warming. Way too controversial for us conservatives.

[boomji]

Ouch.That really hits hard.:sad:

excellent piece.

[Hordak]

Great Work! And an important message.... don't be passive people..

[Ultron]

Awesome Message!
Awesome Effects!

You can really be proud of your work.

[xxbinxx]

very meaning work ...and very nice of course.
Thank you

[kiboSVK]

I like massage of this movie deep idea Absolut work:applause:

[Braetzel]

This is great. Very intellectual. A must indeed.
Graphics, modeling, texturing, I mean, everthing is well done!

Big congratz:)

ps: I nearly cried when I saw the bear falling;(

[reinier1980]

Hi all!

This is our last animation for McCann Portugal client Quercus.

I hope you like it!

This video ows hard.....!

[HocusPocus]

hi seagullsfly...

its amazing stuff!
somehow it reminds me nowlookwhatyoudid.com videos, but in a heavy way!
really nice animation and render...
congrats to all of you!

[A_Ghost]

Beautifully animated! Top notch.

[spurv]

BRUTALL! MTO BOM!!! PARABENS!! NICE WORK!!!:applause:

[DisturbeD2k]

Looks perfect! That polarbear scene is fantastic

Was a bit much when the chimp hung him self but what ever gets the messege through.

[DrFx]

Great looking ad.
Wether or not you BELIEVE in global warming, I think it's a given that man destroys ecossystems aplenty.
The sceneries alone would suffice to deliver the message without the suicides, but what the heck... it really looks great!

[theflash]

It's really really great and effective to deliver the message. Congrats to the team. I love bear the most, its animation is really really great.

[Cadinho]

Another frontpage for the SeagullsFly team! :thumbsup:

I saw that one coming. With the "global warming" message and the overall looking of the movie, which is totally breathtaking, not getting a frontpage would be not fair at all.

By the way, THANK YOU for the confidence of letting me animate the "Fluffy" Bear. Even though the animation is sad in its essence I had lots and lots of fun doing it! Also, It was a honor to work with you guys on another CGTalk hit. :cool:

Can´t wait for the next frontpage! Keep it coming! :beer:

[Aliosa]

5 stars from me, excelent work, the clip has so much feeling it makes me stop global warming

[porkchopexpress]

Some really wonderful stuff here. Too bad the chances of seeing something like this in the States is slim to none despite the fact that it is so awesome.

[hanskloss]

Perfect!! Great way to get the message across! Screw humans! Save the animals! There are 6 billion of us already and look what we're doing to this planet. We're consciously killing it. Polluted fresh water supplies, polluted oceans, over fishing, deforestation, over harvesting. Homo sapiens has to be the most ignorant and selfish species on this planet. We are worst then rats and cockroaches. Where are our grandkids going to live? What are they going to drink and breathe? Are we really that egocentric that we don't care about the future? Astonishing.




Great work!!

[evanxuang]

great work...

[Kevin1981]

GGGGGreat WWWWork!

[Ihab]

Just WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW :drool:

[aoliwei]

That's the most emotinal CG vid I have ever seen, a very very congratulations for all of you guys.:cool:

[Djampa]

Wow !

Seagulls-Fly, bowing once more to your team, congratz guys ! Proud of such talented people like you down here in Brazil.

This one is so incredible, and the subject is so powerful that I forwarded to my fellow environmentalists and related.

My best wishes to the team, and again congratulations !

Parabéns ! Boa sorte ! Sucesso !

[ziriguidum]

massa bagarai galera! cs sao fodas!

[brazz]

[Milivoj-Lemonade3D]

Simply beautiful, in all aspects!Congrats! Hmm, so to get rid of polar bears all we need to do is global warming.... interesting, i will have to forward this to Stephen Colbert! Thank you!

[dropdeadfriend]

speechless !

BG music is also gr8. awesome creativity. CG is mindblowing quality. show me more like these.

[Fathom]

I actually thought the monkey was great! unusual, Ilike the way it was treated, Not everything needs to look the same...
As for the propaganda issue I find the effect of the movie pales in comparison to peoples comments that this is propaganda. It confirms that we are in for a very rough ride because people are only going to wake up too late.
At the risk of hijacking this thread consider this:
50 years ago there were 450 000 lions in the wild. today there are about 20 000.
Leopards went from 700 000 to 100 000, cheetahs from 50 000 to only 12 000 and tigers from 45000 to 3000! and thats just cats. Many species have diminished by 90% in our lifetime and we will live to see many of them disappear in this lifetime. And only then will those people who reckon this is propaganda apologise and say they were wrong. But by then it will make no difference...

I think this movie is a gem, well done guys, keep at it!

[redbyte]

Sorry but this was actually kinda funny.

Come on... animals commiting suicide to slow piano music? It's something I'd expect to see on a sketch show. I was half expecting the rent-a-crowd to start laughing when the monkey grabbed the vine. But as someone has already said, you didn't have any control over that.

So, I'll just say that it's a very slick looking video. The environments especially, but the animals too.

PS. Was the video shakey and jumpy to anyone else? Maybe it's just my computer.

Cool, you just lumped all environmental issues into one and forgot that this was pushing a warning about global warming! When will you see that not everything is as it appears?

You know I try very hard to make a small footprint on this planet. I have for many years made my own non-toxic house hold products like soaps, shampoo, creams. I grow as much of my own food as I can. I am very careful about what I support and conserve heavily. Possibly more than yourself.

So when I call this propaganda it is not said lightly. I don't buy this message being pushed. Even though I agree that there is so much pollution on this planet it is not funny! Still this is propaganda in my books! Trying to get me to buy into a message through emotional manipulation.

You are free to enjoy the message all you like and I am free to think it was garbage.

[Ihlo]

no word simply awesome

[ThomasMahler]

That was batshit insane. Really great work. CG put to good use.

[KSteineman]

Makes me a little sad too, but great work nonetheless :)

[kleber3d]

hi guys!


congratulated the team, Fantastic work !!!
Brazilians of talent hehe


5 stars for me *****

if you have any question just ask!

see you

[ManDay]

Wow, this video just delivers. More emotion and more expression compressed in a minute than I have ever seen in ANY animation (no offense meant). This is just great, if I could give stars as usual I'd give you 15 stars, no kidding. This is by far the most amazing and conveying animation I can remember to have ever seen!

Thank you!

[VirtualFM]

Outstanding work. Really liked it!

Parabéns de Portugal!
PS: E o "Making of" tb está porreiro!

[airun71]

Impressive stuff and kick ass video, congratulations :)

[Xtra]

Great Job!
Makes me want to kill myself in the end, but in a good way! :-D

How to kill yourself 'in a good way'? Using unleaded bullets? ;)

[rustbucket]

This was jam packed with feeling. Really nice work. I LOVE the ice burgh shots.

[Issam-Z]

Simply beautiful!
Bravo.

[afupm]

Nicely done. Deeper emotions, liked the way of delivering story. It really creates a deep effect. Nicely done, global warming must be known to people, and they have to work for it to survive.

Thumbs up :)

[mwgriffin]

Man that was amazing! It left me totally speechless. I hope you don't mind if i send links to all my friends so they can see this. Damn! Great, just great!

[lost19861024]

wow,it's great...
