Steampunk Myths and Legends Entry: laurent antoine lemog

[Lemog]

Haha, OK the secret of mr Snails blobs - dribble! Should have thought of that, very funny
huhu... strange isn't it ? especially for mechanical snails...

Like also much the colors for the Noahmobile all your models are so cute it's almost sad it has to rain so much... maybe you could change the legend and make it stop raining? :D
I hope the integration will be good for you... I keep the rain of course !



Looks great man!
Thanks a lot man... I'm not very sure... especially just after I saw you animation :thumbsup: hahahaha
you rocks :beer:


very nice snails man :D... the Noah mobile looks great
it's all coming up very good ...

HAPPY NEW YEAR BTW !!! :lightbulb
Thanks for the wishes Vlad... I wish you the best things for 2009... you already have the talent... huhu :applause:

I must test the NoahMobile with each cameras...
they must change of place, but not so much...

Next step will be to if the new speed is good...
I don't finish to place all the animals before of course.

Of course, they will be another camera plans than these ones...
some to show the environment... the reain falling... to present the Noah Steamboat... when inflate the ballon... and the last... the flight and of course... the explostion...
and the end !

For the moment, Noah as the same clothes than previously... but in white... I just keep the golden helmet and the leather/brown part.

[adib]

You are close to the end my friend! Very well done! And the Hoah vehicle looks great!
Best to you!

[Elendil_le_Grand]

Yep good style and love the render ;)

[daWinky]

Hi Lolo,

Noah looks great in white and I see now that the NoahMobile is perfect textured for this environment, just the right colors!:applause:
Great to see the different camera shots, everything looks fine for me, only the steam/smoke from the vehicle is a little strange...

En lemogais:
Magnifique! Mais j'ai un crit. Je voudrais faire de l'eau un peu plus sombre. De cette façon, vous pouvez le voir dans les environs un peu mieux. Mais vous êtes le maître ici. :)

Great! You're going great guns on this one (I have no idea how to translate that into french, sorry!) One crit though- I'd make the water a bit darker, it would put more emphasis on the train/boat area.... but you are the master here. :D

proche de la fin! :beer:

[Lemog]

You are close to the end my friend! Very well done! And the Hoah vehicle looks great!
Best to you!
I don't know if this vehicle is really good... but one think I like with it, it's the funny look...
that put a smile on my face... almost if that was not me the creator :banghead:
so strange... huhu



Yep good style and love the render ;)
Mici... mais c'est pas un peu trop fouilli ?
en même temps... c'est du Lemog... hahahaha... nawak...




Great to see the different camera shots, everything looks fine for me, only the steam/smoke from the vehicle is a little strange...
I don't like much the smoke... in fact, that react too differently following the framing and place... I will be certainly oblige to render it alone...



En lemogais:
huhu... nice language :D

Great! You're going great guns on this one (I have no idea how to translate that into french, sorry!)
No idea how it's in french... and also no idea about the sense in english :scream:

One crit though- I'd make the water a bit darker, it would put more emphasis on the train/boat area....
You've totally right in this point...
I've made some little lighting changes... and that affect much the water... I must think about that for the next renderings... thanks Peppie... and courage for your bull :beer:

Software: After Effects,Maya

Little animated test to see how work the new speed...

...as asked by all... slowerrrrrr...

I think it's enough, no ?
I could integrate the 18 wagons now... the scene is already very heavy... I don't want to imagine when all animals will be inside together.

Strangely... in first times of the challenge, as I don't have much time due to the expo project, I've planed to do something very simple... quickly done... not many animated animals but similars cages on wagons... with still animals...
I'm far now of this desicion... why ? but why ? ;-)))) huhuhu

Play Video >> (http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/steampunk/player.php?entry_id=98385)

[daWinky]

An animated shaded wireframe...I'm fascinated:) !

And it really is slowerrr, indeed painfully slow when you try to see it on the server...I had to download it and found out that the speed is perfect now for average viewers:wise: ...

So you keep the suspense high here, waiting impatiently for the animated bunch of animals!

-sabrina

edit: I'm far now of this desicion... why Hehe, I could have told you this before:D

[Lemog]

edit: Hehe, I could have told you this before:D
hahahaha :scream:


well... maybe that could be more comfortable to download the avi :

As I forget to show how was exactly Noah now... I've made a wallpaper with him and his vehicle... I hope you like ;-)

click on the pic for the larger version !

[yazguen]

Salut laurent

Aaaaaaaaah, j'avais pas vu que tu participais à ce challenge
Tain c'est pas possible, t'as kidnappé les lutins du père Noel, pour faire ce challenge
Nickel le mouvement du véhicule...;-)
Bonne suite

PS: la flèmme qu'écrire en anglais...:D

[Lemog]

C'est donc pour ça que j'avais compris rapidement ce que tu avais écris :scream: huhuhu

cool que te voir fair un ptit passage ici... à poutche... et meilleurs voeux à toi :thumbsup:

[Gunilla]

Wow! Lots of great updates here now. I like the Noah diver in white, very distinguished. Also the Noahmobile fits very well in the scene now.
And finally! The speed for the train works well now, what is it, a third of the original?

Hehe, I could have told you this before:D

Quoted for agreement :D

[daWinky]

Hehe, nice to see Noah and his vehicle in detail, very good and the character looks like he is made for this scene:thumbsup: ...thanks for the wallpaper:)

-sabrina

[Elendil_le_Grand]

It's really good i think you will finish it in time ;)

[Thiago-Pires]

Great updates, its almost finished!

Good luck!!

[warpv]

NoahMobile. Genius. :applause:

It's stunning the amount of stuff you've gotten done for this challenge! I LOVE the overall look and feel of it! Can't wait to see it finished! I'd wish you luck, but looks like you've got it covered, like yazguen said, you probably have your own little Santa's workshop going! ;)

[Lemog]

And finally! The speed for the train works well now, what is it, a third of the original?

2 times more slower... I'm okay with that speed... thanks for the council...


Hehe, nice to see Noah and his vehicle in detail, very good and the character looks like he is made for this scene:thumbsup: ...thanks for the wallpaper:)
-sabrina
hahaha... so class... the Diver as his place everywhere :scream:


It's really good i think you will finish it in time ;)
well... not totally sure... I've write the new story... 13 differents scenes !
that will be just :curious:


Great updates, its almost finished!
Good luck!!
huhu... almost :beer:
if I have only that to do as personal project :surprised but one thing is sure... I will do my best... thanks Thiego :applause:
and congrats for you challenge, I really appreciate how you present your wips :wip:

[Lemog]

NoahMobile. Genius. :applause:

huhu... Santa's Workshop... that will be a good theme for the challenge... another one :scream:

Thanks for you wishes... I'm not totally sure to be able to finish in time... but anyway... even if it's not finish... I will post something...
...and as I said in first time of the challenge... it's for the fun and the pleasure to be here with you all... all very talentuous girls and guys :bounce:

[Lemog]

Here's the New StoryBoard... without pictures... I don't think to have time to illustrate it,

but many of you all know very well the universe of this project... :wise:


As I said before... now... that make 13 differents plans...

12 describe below... and the last one... wich will be a surprise for you all (for me too :scream: hahahaha)

seq 01 - 10" - DEC 1 - large plan - it rain... to discover the environment... the weather... the lighthouse turn

seq 02 - 10" - DEC 2 - middle plan... immerged church, it rain, the level of the sea is growing (ding-dong)

seq 03 - 10" - SB 1 - zoom - discovering the steamboat with only movments of the sea - nothing more

seq 04 - 15" - DEC 3 - travelling of the lighthouse to the street

seq 05 - 20" - CHAR DEC 1 - cam1 - the train start to arrive

seq 06 - 10" - SB 2 - close view of the steamboat... propellers starts

seq 07 - 25" - CHAR DEC 2 - cam2 - back to the street, again the wagons

seq 08 - 10" - SB 3 - zoom - steamboat, balloon inflate

seq 09 - 10" - CHAR DEC 3 - cam3 - large plan of the street, then environment and the boat... the train comes of the street until the steamboat

seq 10 - 15" - CHAR DEC 4 - cam"4" - middle plan... entering the animals wagons inside the steamboat

seq 11 - 10" - CHAR DEC 5 - cam"5" - middele-large plan + rear zoom - lock of the door-cage - steamboat starts rear propellers

seq 12 - 25" - CHAR DEC 6 - cam3 suite - large plan - take off until the steamboat will be far... and explosion...


around 150" -> 2 min 30 sec

seq 13 - 25" - final plan final - SURPRISE ;-)


Of course, these durations are only indicative... some of these plans are new... I don't made test... especially with the new train speed...

[Intervain]

gosh you're so fast - every time I visit there's like a pile of pages that have passed me by :) Great, great!:wip:

[paperclip]

en lemogais (:D ) :OOooh, un surprise! de quoit s'agit-il? ;)

in clippish: oooh, a surprise ending! what is it? :D

[daWinky]

Morning!

The storyboard seems to be very good, I have the pictures in mind and can roughly imagine the parts...exept for the surprise of course:p
No updates this morning, so I guess you have the same problems with the server in the video category:sad: ...

Nice day for you,

-sabrina

[Lemog]

gosh you're so fast - every time I visit there's like a pile of pages that have passed me by :) Great, great!:wip:
huhu... I don't know if I'm fast, but one thing is sure... I have never enough time to do all what I plane !



en lemogais (:D ) :OOooh, un surprise! de quoit s'agit-il? ;)

in clippish: oooh, a surprise ending! what is it?
huhu... I can't say anything... it's a surprise (just hope that will be a GOOD one :D )



No updates this morning, so I guess you have the same problems with the server in the video category:sad: ...
In fact I don't know... I don't have time for update, I'me very late, busy... and I have probs of heating at home since monday...

[paperclip]

Does a steampunk dove fly out of the exploded mountain holding Noah's arm like a branch of peace?

la surprise? Est-ce que le steampunk colombe vole de l'explosion? Elle porte Noah les bras comme une branche de la paix? :D

(p.s- I've finished mine- you need to catch up now! :p)

[maksy]

Great progress since I was here last time.. Nice work Lemog!! :wavey:

[Versiden]

heya

I downloaded your animatic, I think that's the latest one.

I'd say you probably don't need shot 2 at all. Shot 1 and 2 are pretty much the same idea, don't repeat them. Each shot should convey a different idea to the viewer. I'd cut out shot2 completely.
Also cut on the action, it'll leading into each shot better, basically, don't have the characters exit the screen completely, and have nothing there for so many frames.

goodluck!

[thebest]

missed alot:cry: but I guess more is coming so I`am very happy:bounce: .......keep going my friend :arteest: "fast":banghead:

[Lemog]

Does a steampunk dove fly out of the exploded mountain holding Noah's arm like a branch of peace?
I can't say more... it's not totally decided... I've 3 different ends in my mind... but no choice for the moment...
The one I like much need some more work... and I don't know to have enough time...

(p.s- I've finished mine- you need to catch up now! :p)
I saw... but... already uploaded ?


Great progress since I was here last time.. Nice work Lemog!! :wavey:
Thanks Mate... I hope that will advance well now...

Thanks for your comment my friend... in fact, I've made this animatic only to validate the speed of the train... even if I keep certain framing... it's not definitive, especially because the timing will be very different... remember... there's 18 wagons + the NoahMobile to pass... it's quiete long... and certainly I will be the 2 animations... When arrive the train / when leave the train...
I hope that will be better for you next time...
Thanks for you interest Martin... now it remain me to prepare the real train animation, with all the wagons...


missed alot:cry: but I guess more is coming so I`am very happy:bounce: .......keep going my friend :arteest:
more ? don't know... I only hope to finish...
I start an another personal project next week... of course, that will be again more hard to manage all ! :banghead:

[paperclip]

No, not uploaded yet. I'm still giving myself some time so I can look at it with new eyes later...thanks for your kind comments in my thread, though- and look, I put up the easter island picture just for you with more work done on it! :D

No matter what you decide for the ending, I look forward to seeing it...unless it's too sad...:cry:

[Lemog]

No, not uploaded yet. I'm still giving myself some time so I can look at it with new eyes later...
it's always better, not easy to be really objective after long time of work on the same image...


and look, I put up the easter island picture just for you with more work done on it!
Thanks a lot dear Peppie... you remember easter island was also one of my projects... and sincerly, yours was very well imagined !


No matter what you decide for the ending, I look forward to seeing it...unless it's too sad...:cry:
If I can make the third idea... that will be not so sad :thumbsup:

[Lemog]

First anims are actually rendering...

here's some first shots as examples... while waiting the animated result in many days :scream:

Plan #1 - when we discover the poor environment and the bad weather

Plan #2 - the floating church...

Plan #2 - ding-dong...

Plan #4 - lighthouse to the street

Plan #4 - lighthouse to the street - discovering the buildings...
http://www.lemog.fr/lemog_v6/albums/lemog/steampunk/noah_ark_172_800.jpg

Don't know why... but why it's always raining in this film ? :scream:

[Gunilla]

Looks great! I really like your floating church.

Don't know why... but why it's always raining in this film ?

A reason for Noah to put on his rubber suit? :D

[ivanisavich]

Hey man,

Really nice to see that you're breaking up the film into multiple shots. In the original animatic it was just one long shot, and although it was nice, we missed a lot of the detail you modelled. Now with the cuts and closeups, we're gonna get to see it.

:thumbsup:!

[CuriousLobster]

I like the atmosphere in pictures. Impatiently waiting to see the animation :)

[kaparo]

Absolutely beautiful!
Love the color palette and mood, looks like a watercolor. Congrat!

[Deje3D]

Very nice renders !

:) I can't wait to see more.

[Airflow]

Wow, I cant belive you guys have come so far already. Your definatly at the top of the short list for getting through. Great work.
Lemog, If you have the time, Id like your opinion on the composition of my still entry, Im thinking of changing the camera position and need an external eye. :)

[Lemog]

:thumbsup:!
In fact, in the first times of the challenge, with my lack to spare time, I've decided to participate with just a simple creation... not to do many different animals, and add things in the environment... just something fast, funny with just one camera...
...and finally, detailing is always stronger than me... but now, I'm not totally sure to finish in time... I have too much other projects today in the same time... and a job... and a family :scream: hahaha


I like the atmosphere in pictures. Impatiently waiting to see the animation :)
I hope to post a little animation next week... glad you like my project :thumbsup:



Absolutely beautiful!

You have right... some colors... but much water :scream: hahaha
thanks a lot...



Very nice renders !
I can't wait to see more.
Thanks a lot Dennis...

[daWinky]

Morning Lolo,

I was so eager to get rid of my final, that I've seen the last additions only now , so I'm a little late with the cheering...no crits at all, just great to see the details with environment, the floating church is a good idea and I can't get enough of this charming lighthouse:) . I hope the rendering makes good progress - and that you've solved your heating problem:scream: , it's so terrible cold...

Have a great start in the week!

-sabrina

[Lemog]

Morning Sabie... it's finished for you... cool image for sure !

I hope the rendering makes good progress
It's in low progress, even if it's more fast for the steamboat scene... for the moment, I don't start to integrate and animate the animals in the whole scene... I'm in the texturing of the Vieux Paris... not easy to be everywhere...


and that you've solved your heating problem:scream: , it's so terrible cold...
Not yet... fortunetely, the last night was less cold that the previous week... normally, that will be repared tomorrow morning...

Nice resting week for you :wavey:

[Elendil_le_Grand]

Today, I post some shots of the Plan #5, first arrive of the train.

Now all wagons with animals are in place... animated.

[Lemog]

I hope you like the integration.
Depend some part of the image, animals could appear with strange lighting, in fact, as there's many street lights, with the animation, that enrich the animals shapes...

[Lemog]

I will try to post the first animation at the end of week... but for the moment only the first... not with animals... sorry :shrug:
even me I'm impatient to really see the result... maybe that will be awful animated :wise:

[redCigarette]

looking at all the shots and animals..i can imagine how much fun u having doin this contest haha..
Keep 'em comin dude :D

[mdavid]

That is one beautiful line of animals. It all works and fits in superbly with the look and feel of the work you have done so far. Wonderful stuff :thumbsup:

[Gunilla]

Ahh, that's great! All the little critters lined up like that - very nice. It's all coming together well - but what about that secret final? Can you give us a hint? ;)

[musi]

Hi Laurent,

You have a huge thread here :)
Renders look very good, and those bits of animation you have posted are too. Like the humor in it, and style. Wander to see the finished film!

Thanks for visiting our thread :)

[Lemog]

Thanks a lot Mark... I was go for an another simplier project... and the feeling make the rest...
...absolutely not pressure in this case... only fun... just a bit sorry to doesn't have enough time. I was out for the previous challenge... but it's a real pleasure to be here with you all... a great place to share !



Ahh, that's great! All the little critters lined up like that - very nice. It's all coming together well - but what about that secret final? Can you give us a hint? ;)
I can't say more about the final... even me I'm not sure... especially depend of my remaining time...
My priority for the moment is animation and renderings... it's atcually working ! certainly until the end of the next week...
and following the remaining time, I will do the choice between my 3 ends...
a hint ? well... don't know... this final story was singing by "The Pogues"... (mmmh, I don't know if that help :scream: )

Huge I don't know... but thanks... it's always much pleasure for me to see people appreciate my project... event if there's much other more great project around.
I'm impressed by the talent of certain people here... sincerly... and it's good for us of course, that permet to progress a lot each time...
Thanks to stop here with your good words Alexandra, you're welcome :beer:

[daWinky]

a hint ? well... don't know... this final story was singing by "The Pogues"... Hm..."If I should fall from grace with god" would be a good fit for the whole story:D , but for the end, let me guess: "thousands are sailing"!?:bounce: I want a cookie if I'm right...

-sabrina

[paperclip]

a hint ? well... don't know... this final story was singing by "The Pogues"... (mmmh, I don't know if that help :scream: )

The pogues? An irish band, no less. :D . Allow me to think... hmm...I'm guessing it's not 'The Turkish Song of the Damned.' ...so...maybe...?

Sitting on Top of the World?
No?

How about....

The stars will turn to rust
And drop from the skies
And everybody will soon be asking you for more
And everybody will be telling lies..?


P.S----Love the 'Finding Nemo' fish. :D

[Lemog]

huhu girls... :scream: you're hard with me... a last help... The Pogues album is "Hell's Ditch"...

...nothing more now... especially because nothing is sure... :argh:

Morning Lolo!

Well, I just can't resist:rolleyes: ..."Rain Street" wouldn't be a surprise, the "Sunnyside of the Street" could be a nice change...but my best guess is "Squid out of Water", ok. enough, but this is a nice way to wait for the next updates:D !

Wish you a great day!

Morning Sabie..


yes... a good way to wait ? or a good wait to keep the pressure on my shoulders :scream: hahahaha

I'm a bit late with the renderings... but anyway I will post this morning some shots of the Plan #7, it's the second plan with the train...



I've added one new plan... when the door/cage of the boat open... short :

seq 01 - 10" - DEC 1 - large plan - it rain... to discover the environment... the weather... the lighthouse turn

seq 02 - 10" - DEC 2 - middle plan... immerged church, it rain, the level of the sea is growing (ding-dong)

seq 03 - 10" - SB 1 - zoom - discovering the steamboat with only movments of the sea - nothing more

seq 04 - 15" - DEC 3 - travelling of the lighthouse to the street

seq 05 - 20" - CHAR DEC 1 - cam1 - the train start to arrive

seq 06 - 10" - SB 2 - close view of the steamboat... propellers starts

seq 07 - 25" - CHAR DEC 2 - cam2 - back to the street, again the wagons

seq 08 - 10" - SB 3 - zoom - steamboat, balloon inflate

seq 09 - 4" - SB 4 - ocloser view - opening of the door-cage of the steamboat

seq 10 - 10" - CHAR DEC 3 - cam3 - large plan of the street, then environment and the boat... the train comes of the street until the steamboat

seq 11 - 15" - CHAR DEC 4 - cam"4" - middle plan... entering the animals wagons inside the steamboat

seq 12 - 10" - CHAR DEC 5 - cam"5" - middele-large plan + rear zoom - lock of the door-cage - steamboat starts rear propellers

seq 13 - 25" - CHAR DEC 6 - cam3 suite - large plan - take off until the steamboat will be far... and explosion...

seq 14 - 25" - final plan final - always the SURPRISE ;-)

Well, I can see it (you have to download it) and it's fantastic, I like it very much so far:thumbsup: ...again the only thing to crit is the strange smoke, somehow it get's too much light...It's great to see all the animated animals together, well done!:bowdown:

-sabrina

[adib]

This is look great.You should take care about the proportion between the animals.The snails are not the same size with the girafe.

Best to you!

[Lemog]

...again the only thing to crit is the strange smoke, somehow it get's too much light...
I keep it like that finally for the graphic side... :blush:
and as I make all too fast... I forget to calculate the smoke separatly... and I don't think to find time to redo it :sad:


The snails are not the same size with the girafe.
mmmmh... strange... are you totally sure ? :scream::banghead: hahahahaha

[paperclip]

The snails are not the same size as the giraffe.

French snails are. Ah, l'escargot francais sont tres graaaandes.... :D

[mdavid]

It is beautiful! I could watch it all day!

[Gunilla]

Wow! That is just... :applause::love:

Lovely. No crits from me, only drooling!

[gpepper]

Le défilé, c'est trop marrant ! les poules payent vraiment !

[Deze]

Hey that's great! I like the mechanical-toy-looking so much. The animal's scale is not a problem at all for me. Accessoirement, j'ai cru voir passer une girafe de Mr Mordillo mécanisée ;)

[Lemog]

this really becomes gigantic, I love all this great environments :)
looking forward to the final!!
Thanks man... glad you appreciate... I don't know what time it remain until the end, but I start to be very late now...


Heh, missing a few updates is like missing a few months of work with you :P Keep on going
hahaha.... :D


I'm sure the ducks won't bother you about that...
...huhu... I hope ;)


Le défilé, c'est trop marrant ! les poules payent vraiment !
...mais elles n'arrivent pas à la hauteur de la tienne !
enfin... il y a une poule... et suivie d'un coq !

Scenes are always in rendering actually... here's a little update with 6 more scenes...

You saw before the scene 01 to 05... and now added the 06 to 11...

It's a crose assembly and there's few images to modifiy, especially few pictures in the scene 10 with the smoke...

...but that give a precise idea about the rest.

Now, it remain again 3 scenes to do...

the one where the steamboat start the rear propellers and close the door-cage,
the one where the steamboat take off, until the explosion...

and the last one, but nothing started for this one ;-)

Hope you like the animation... simple... ;-)

[indra0sen]

hey!
your uploads are wonderful.
great work!

but can u tell me the basic concept?

[Gunilla]

Well, it still looks really good wit the scenes collected like this - but no clue for the last scene yet? :deal:

I suppose I just have to wait and see....

[CuriousLobster]

I haven't been here for a while and what a nice progress. Maybe smoke a little strange, but other things and animation are reeeeally nice.

[Duncs]

Excellent work, really nice atmosphere and pace. Will be cool to see the finished piece. What kind of audio are you planning to use?

Best of luck finishing

[warpv]

Must take a long time to render! :p Can't wait to see the final product! It's looking awesome! :)

[simjoy]

superb Lemog, really well done.

Im looking forward to the final ani ...

[Try]

Hey Laurent.
This is looking just splendid buddy.
You have a unique defined style on this project that will be hard to match by anyone I think.
If this was an election all my votes would go to you friend.:beer:
I can only wish you the best of luck for the final.

Just hope you haven`t taken years of your life working like this. I don`t know how you do it. Maybe you have found a way of skipping sleep all together? :)

[Airflow]

Looking great, sucks that we have to just wait till its done, but what we have seen sofar is pretty cool.

[Lemog]

but can u tell me the basic concept?
It's just the Noah's Ark Story... but of course more steampunk... and more funny :D



but no clue for the last scene yet?
Not for the moment dear... sorry... just until I decide if I will be able to do this last scene, and it's far to be sure for the moment... I must see about the deadline ?



Maybe smoke a little strange, but other things and animation are reeeeally nice.
You don't like it too ? well... I just hope to have time just before the end redo smoke...
thanks for the comment...



What kind of audio are you planning to use?

Rain + Storm + Thunder + water/sea + wind (environment)
Steam engine + mechanical pieces + inflating + horn (steamboat)
Steam engine + mechanical pieces + rolling wheels on street + animals sounds (Noah's train)
and maybe... a epic music... don't know what for the moment... something as the the sorcerer's apprentice... :D


Must take a long time to render!
Yep man... and I don't know if I made the good choice with 720p... it's a bit long...
it's actually rendering the scene #13 on 14 !
but I've made nothing about the #14... I hope to find some time before the week-end...



superb Lemog, really well done.
Thanks a lot Simon...


an election all my votes would go to you friend.
I can only wish you the best of luck for the final.
You're too kind Per... there's much better projects here... but one thing is sure, I do my best to take much pleasure ! Thanks !

Maybe you have found a way of skipping sleep all together ?
Unfortunetely, I don't find THE solution... :shrug:



Looking great, sucks that we have to just wait till its done, but what we have seen sofar is pretty cool.
Thank you so much for the good motivation and the support Robert... :beer:

[CuriousLobster]

You don't like it too ? well... I just hope to have time just before the end redo smoke...
thanks for the comment...

It looks like ghosts a bit :) But I don't think it's that bad and it's unnoticeable if you don't pay attention to this.
Other things are very very nice. Good luck!!!

[AIR]

Its coming along wonderfull!
Nice job L-man.
I can't stop admiring your dedication and thouroughness, respect for that, and for your great ability to reply to every post out there....respect and cheers! :beer:

[mdavid]

The new scenes look wonderful. I suppose the giraffes will only just fit under the doorway of the ark, but that is not a criticism - it is more like something that will be fun to watch

[thebest]

:arteest: 3 scenes to go !!!..... cool can`t wait for those :bounce: keep going :arteest:

[Gunilla]

... the renderings are going fine I hope? Good luck in wrapping it up now!

[jonone]

yep Tony... but that will be not enough... also remain composition, and sounds...
I need much good Keep Going actually... even if it not remain much time to finish, the most complicated for me actually is to find the little time to complete the last operations...
we will see... thanks man !



... the renderings are going fine I hope? Good luck in wrapping it up now!
fine ? I don't know... but the last images are finished now... that will be sad to doesn't be able to do the final piece... I will do my best !
Nice week for you miss...

I think you're right man... too much... it's often me :banghead: hahaha
even if in the first time of challenge I've decided to do something simple !
Well... I'm especially here for the fun (I don't saw what price are in game !) and to be with many simpathetic people here... the most important so.
About the baloon... don't know, you certainly right, of course at this step, I know I couldn't be objective... and as it remain only 8 days until the end, I don't have more time to test other things I think... I will be oblige to finish now with what is already done... too short :shrug:
In any case, thanks for your good advice for sure... :beer:

Well.. after many days of silence, many days without posts, many days of renderings...

...it's time to post the almost final animation...

all images are calculated... all is composited... and the sound is here.

I think that will be really the final version because I don't have more time to dedicate to this challenge... I must continue on my other personal projects ;-)

I'm waiting your final advices... before to send this one or not...

well... very strange this problem of sound !
Sounds and music are very important in the film... I hear the sound when I download the second file !
I don't know how to arrange that... very disturbing, especially because the final animation must only upload in FLV !!!



really cool mate... amazing , u know it gives u that feeling when it`s rainning outside and u are at home lol .............I think this is cool as a final whatever ur decision is I support u my friend
Thanks for your always incredible support Tony... that was great for sure !

huhu... thanks Ricardo... I just hope sounds works next time !



MMMHHHH... very disturbing... anybody have the sounds in this video ?


... I have few days to find the solution... :hmm:

[daWinky]

Morning Lolo!

I would also like to know if it is just me with the missing sound, I tried it again on other computers, with other players, no sound for me:shrug: ...I can see that there is a audio layer in the file information, but I can't hear it...very strange indeed, especially because no one else have mentioned something about the sound! So I'm waiting for more information, I'm so eager to see this complete:) ...

Have a nice day!

-sabrina

[maksy]

Yep, I'm missing sound too... :shrug:

[Lemog]

Yep... very strange...

I've re uploaded the file... if you want to test it :wise:

Thanks by advance :D

I'm waiting impatiently your final advice :buttrock:

and don't hesitate to push the volume :cool:

[Gunilla]

Ahhh! You've made it! Already finished - with time to spare, much impressive :bounce:

I really like this little film of yours, the sound, which works fine for me, sure adds a lot to the whole. The ending is funny - totally unexpected. When will we see the next episode? :D

Much congrats to you, this has really been your theme and I wish you all the best for the judging.

Bravo, Studio Lemog! :applause:

[daWinky]

Wheeee:bounce: ! No it works! And of course the sound makes it even better...just the little bit more to make it perfect for me. The story was a great idea, I love the steampunk style of the boat and the animals and all the wonderful details you've added:love: ...much fun, much style and the pleasant surprise at the end (thank's for saving them all, I'm always in need for happy endings;) ).
So just see that you get it uploaded and send it on it's way with all my best wishes!

I really like this little film of yours, the sound, which works fine for me, sure adds a lot to the whole. The ending is funny - totally unexpected. When will we see the next episode?
Thanks a lot Gunie... I'm very happy you like this little animation... until the end, I was not very sure to be able to finish it... well, it's done, I'm happy too... It's not very usual for me to do animation... and this one is certainly the best I've made... of course not the top, due to many reason, but I'm enough satisfied... it's a progress for me I think... I've learn much...
Thank you for your kind support along this challenge... and along all my cg works :love:
Next Episode ? maybe more Noah missed in the World's fair :D




Wheeee ! No it works! And of course the sound makes it even better...just the little bit more to make it perfect for me.

Thanks for your appreciation Sabie... as I said, it's better with sound... and unexpected, the style of music could appear too much different than the story style... but I think it's original, even actual and that works.
Thanks to be always here... with your kind words, your good comments and advices...
Now, I think I can send the Final File :beer:



I agree with this one!
Now sound works, it's great!
Thanks mate... now..; I can continue on the other projects :wise: no rest :banghead: hahaha

[mdavid]

It's wonderful. I love it. And no problems with sound for me either. In fact, I thought the sound track was superb. Like Gunilla said, the ending is funny and also unexpected. Definitely no crits from me. This animation has been an amazing piece of work (and this has been an amazing thread too). Congratulations

[Lemog]

Thanks Mark, I must said that was also difficult to manage with all other projects... a bit hard sometimes, fortunetely with much pleasure... no regrets :thumbsup:

I will try to upload a larger version for the FINAL... soon...

[adib]

I see it with the sound! Great entry,Good job Lemog!Wish you all the best!

It looks great completed with the sound and all! Congrats on finishing your film before the deadline! I still have loads to do! great job!
yep... finished... I'm sure you can finish your too... you have made someting with a great design... you must show us your final film !



Well... I have a question, I just take a look to the "deliverables page"... and it's wrote just after the Final Film Upload "30 second version of trailer for initial judging. Followed by a maximum of 90 sec making of material, followed by full length Video."

Anyone know if it's obligatory and where we must post this suplementary film of 2 minutes ? :eek:
I don't understand well :blush:


:curious:

[adib]

Hi,Lemog! The Final Entry should have in the same movie file:30 seconds trailer,90 seconds making of and your final movie.So there are 3 different things in the same flv file.:thumbsup:

[Lemog]

Ok man... thanks a lot... I don't have understand that... finally, I'm far to have finished in fact !!

I must do a trailer and a making-of + ? :rolleyes:

Damned... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[adib]

Tonight I will put my making of!:cool:

[daWinky]

Lolo, it's right that you need to make the 30 sec trailer, what is actually just showing the highlights of your video, but you need not to make this "making of video", unless you want to be considered for a special skills award...

This is from the individual video site: "Finally - please remember to add a making of video for the skills awards you wish to be considered for. If you do this the length of the making of video must be less than 90 sec."

-sabrina

[Gunilla]

If you like to go for the special skills, I suggest you go for modeling and just use the stills of your models. You already have a lot of images for them and could make a nice presentation from what you already have. And steampunk modeling is really one of your specialities, right? Bonne chance! :wip:

[Lemog]

Thanks a lot to try to explain me... I'm sorry to continue to don't understand all about this skill award ! ?
I don't saw that... well... while waiting, maybe I can post anyway the 30 seconds trailer... :surprised

Hahaha, nice work with the trailer! I really like it and the funny twist you given it. Well done, master Lemog

No no, you don't HAVE to make a Making-of. At least that's not how I understand it. But if you do want to, it should be put in between the trailer and full length as Tyson wrote.

[ivanisavich]

Yes, you do need a making of. Check the "deliverables" page here: http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/steampunk/deliverables.php

All entrants were required to include making-of material last time...unless I'm really out of the loop, it's the same this time.

[doffer]

Okay :)
Sorry then. On the "Categories" page it says:
* Individuals in the Image category may enter a video to show off special features when being considered for an award (eg, turntable for the Modeling award).

** Video entries (whether team or individual) wishing to be considered for an award(s) are encouraged to show off the skill(s) in a silent (no dialogue – background music is OK) ‘making of’ documentary immediately after their closing credits. There is a maximum of 90 seconds allowed for this in addition to the Video.


I read that, as a choice of our own, but I don't know. I've never entered a video entry before.

[ivanisavich]

Ah yea...that does seem to make it a bit vague eh. I think the rules page might need to be cleaned/clarified a bit based on that quote. Since that says "after the closing credits", whereas on the other page the finished video goes after the making-of...hmm...

[Lemog]

GLENN -> Thanks for your good words Glenn... I hope your wife appreciate this work as you my friend...
...no soucy, I'm sure the MAGIC will be for eternity with us !


Christoffer and Tyson -> thanks men for your informations...
I saw it's not only me... sure it's not very clear ! :surprised


At this step... finally I've made yesterday night the making-of... :banghead:

and mounted all 3 film together...
1) the trailer with sound - 2) the making-of without sound - 3) the Film with sound

the total make 5'55"... I hope like that all is ok ?

I will see...

best of luck for your finishing guys :thumbsup:

[SpiritDreamer]

Hello Laurent...Glenn told you but I will tell you myself. Yours is the absolutely greatest Steampunk. I just love everything about it. I sent link to my son, my sister and friends, They love it also. I knew it would be the best from the first I saw the little steampunk animals.
I love your Paris Fair work also!
Your work makes the world a better place: Good feeling emanates from it.
Thanks for the opportunity to see your film
Jessica ("Mrs. Sprit Dreamer")

[daWinky]

Morning Lolo!

Yes, now you've really finished, I really like the style of your "making of", nothing to add...so it's time for some big congratulations for your wonderful work!:beer: It was a pleasure to have you in this challenge and I just hope you had so much fun creating this as me to watch your progress - and of course it is fun to read on the first pages that you just want to make something quick and simple...and now look at this thread:D .
The post of "Mrs. SpiritDreamer" is so sweet and I can only underline her statements...

Have a great start in the week!

-sabrina

[gpepper]

Nice !
Maybe some music on the making of would be cool...

[Mhyrdin]

YES ! You got it ...:thumbsup:

you succeed in finishing this project !

Bravo, bravo my friend.:applause:

[Lemog]

Tony -> thanks a lot to be often the first my friend... of course, a challenge will be very different without you,
and especially without your "keep going"... and that works !


Jessica ("Mrs. Sprit Dreamer") -> glad to see you here Jessica, I'm particulary honored by your comment of course...
It's to early for me to have a true opinion about my little film...
...I think it's not the best, but the most important, is to progress, to share a passion with many people,
and to have fun... is spectators could feel that... the mission is complete !
Thank you so much for the visit !


Sabrina -> yes... the pleasure to be another time with you all was incredible for me, and I take an huge pleasure to participate.
Thanks to you, to the team... to the friends... an one thing is sure, I certainly don't finish the challenge without your support !
I don't know if I will be able to participate to a future challenge... but I really like these periods...
Thanks Sabie !
Ok with you, I remember my wishes in first... to do something very different, very simple...
and finally... it's again too Lemogish...


Gilles -> no man, in the rules, they said no sounds for the making-of... I made it in first with sound... ;-/
...I prefer with sound... huhu


Dominique -> merci Dom'... et oui... un de plus... j'en suis quand même le premier étonné... surtout avec les autres projets en simultané ;-)))




I will post soon some links for those interested to watch these films in larger size... :D

[Belerofont]

My Congratulations! It's really big work.

But for my opinion the rythm of the film is too slow....(( And the soundtrack could be more interesting.

[Heleb]

hey that looks lovely, really interesting style, if i was you though i would limit the writing a little bit more, or make it smaller, i think it distracts too much from the gorgeous aesthetics, your too busy reading the writing to take in all the work behind it, and a lot of the writing isnt crucial, i found it hard to look at the writing as well as the images.
Just a suggestion though, it looks really good! and i love the full film :)

[ivanisavich]

Hey Lemog,

In the rules it says you can have music in your making-of...just not voice.

You might want to add some in and re-post your final, eh? :)

au moins y'en a qui suivent !

Tyson seems to be right ! Music Man !

[Lemog]

Heleb -> thanks for your advices Helen...
I don't think there's too much to read... hahaha... no ? maybe...you know, it's just for fun...
I think it's not serious, like me... :scream:
...but you've certainly right... also, I think it's a bit late for me. :shrug:


Tyson -> thanks for your help Tyson... definitively, my english is far to be perfect, I've each time to much probs for understand correctly...
I go to repost it !
Unfortunetely, the version with sounds was in the trash... of course ! :beer: hahaha


Gilles -> je suis toujours trop nul en anglais... je crois que c'est foutu pour moi !
j'aurais vraiment dû aller à l'école ! :banghead:

[Gunilla]

Ahh... so now you're truely finished - congrats! And I think the making of really adds to the whole - to be able to see all your wonderful creations up close, coming together... :love:
And as always, it's so inspiring to follow you thread, to play along with you and the team - could it be any better?

And now, go open a bottle of champagne :deal::beer:

[Lemog]

My Congratulations! It's really big work.

But for my opinion the rythm of the film is too slow....(( And the soundtrack could be more interesting.
As many people here said, when I've planed the first version, that was too fast to really watch perfectly each mechanical animals... and that was not false I think... but not sure of course :scream:
Thanks a lot for your remark :beer:

[Belerofont]

Probable you're right... anyway - you're the Director
:beer:

[daWinky]

and finally... it's again too Lemogish... There's no such thing like "too Lemogish":wise: , it's also your very own style that makes the charm of your work...

I will post soon some links for those interested to watch these films in larger size... Well, I'm very interested!

Congrats again for the final-final version:D ...

Have a great day!

This has been an amazing project - and an amazing thread too! The result of it all is a wonderful piece of work. Congratulations!

I love the humour and great style you put into your film. And I love your delightful designs for both the animals and the ark. And the 'Making Of' section was excellent too - I really liked seeing those bits of the work that went into it.

This has been a real joy to watch. Good luck, and thanks for providing us with so much inspiration and wonderful ideas.

Yes we can say,this thread is a GREAT MOVIE TUTORIAL.To show each step an a time...You spend alot time showing us all of your progress with full of details!
BRAVO Lemog!:beer:

[MatteoM]

Good work friend ;)

:beer:

Matteo

[Try]

Fantastic job Laurent! Congratulations Buddy!!:beer:

First of all I want to say I think Mark pretty much summed it all up for me.

Must say I had my doubts you would pull this of in the beginning there.
Not that you could do it but if you could do it on top of your fantastic Paris Fair project.

But you did it and in great style to. I simply love your design on.
Those animals are just splendid, I especially fell for the giraffe`s. :)

Don`t know how far this will get you with the judges (caus nobody knows what they will do :) ).
But like I think I have said before you are number one for me my friend.:bowdown:

[warpv]

Again, simply amazing how you were able to do so much! Congratulations on finishing the project! I love the end result, great graphic style! And I love all the different animals! I can't wait to see more work from you in the future!

[Ferx]

Monsieur Lemog,

I dont have words to express what awesome is your amazing animation. Totally love it. The enviroment and mood is simply delicious, a fantasy in motion, really great! You take care on all details of the production, great designs and textures. For sure, a superb work my friend! :)

Congratulations for this fine and beautiful artwork, was a pleasure to see the development of your concept, a fantastic journey and a great learning experience!

And yes!! Time for the tequila !!! All the best for you my friend!! Cheers!! :beer:

[cmdrpi]

Congratulations on finishing your entry! :beer:
This is a really nice, original, funny and well done movie!
Just how it should be!

[Lemog]

Maxim -> I've right ? well... I can't be sure of course... I'm just an human ;-)))


Sabrina -> yes... I think too that's too late for me... after many years... I'm finally a Lemog for eternity... hahaha
That was of course a more great experience... with the team !
Nice day for you Sabie...


Mark -> thanks a lot my friend... yep... humour it's always a large part of me...
I can't keep serious too long time... maybe because our worl is not always very funny !
If you appreciate to follow this thread... it's my first price !


Adrian -> héhé thanks man... yep... I like much to show almost each steps...
it's a large part to find motivation...
as maybe you know, in the same time, I continued to work on my other big projectof reconstrution of expo 1900,
and that was not easy to manage this project with the challenge, with my job and also something very important, the family life.
Then, each days when I could make another rendering of the last work... that motivate me to continue to work the next night...


Matteo -> Gracie mille !


Per -> thanks a lot for your words my friend... even me at the beginning I couldn't imagine what will be done in final...
and especially not all this modeling of many things.
Even if the concept is exaclty the same, this mass of work was not planed... but as usually, when I have a little time...
I play with details... and I add... I add... always more details...
I like that too much...
And at the difference with my expo1900 project or in my job, in these challenge, I can do what I want... I can have delirium modeling...
all is permit, and that, it's really cool !
About the result, maybe you're too simpathetic with my work.
I know it's far to be perfect... even if I've worked much on it, I don't dedicate all the time needed to have something better.
I've watched many other entries... and I saw many of them with an incredible level...
Maybe I'm far... hahaha
Well... that make me think to your thread Per... when do planed to finish your image...
we take also much fun to follow your "a little bit" mad project... that will be cool to see it finished !


Christopher -> thanks a lot mate... I've already said that many months ago... but maybe it's true today...
Sincerly, if I made this challenge, it's because the topic was very me... also because friends push me a little (not so much... huhu)
but with all other personnal project planed until 2010... I can't imagine to do an another challenge soon...
even if it's a great pleasure each time for me to be here to share with you all...
I'm already late with 3 different films actually... I must take care... and if the challenge is now finished...
I will continue to don't sleep much the nights... and that comes to be hard ;-)))
...and please... you too... finish you steampunk image !


Fernando -> héhé Fernando... time for tequila... yep... but not too much... it remain me again much work...
but of course, good times with friends to drink something good is always great...
Thanks for your comments man...


Christian -> Thanks Master, glad you appreciate, as I appreciate much what you do as incredible project you know...

[Thiago-Pires]
