hi guys,

i graduated from Nad Center in montreal a few month ago. Yesterday my teamate and i recived an award for this 18 sec short. I'm pretty proud of it. We did it in about a month. This was a motion capture exercise.

Enjoy!

Very funny! And superb animation! :thumbsup:

Crit:
- He has a gut...it's a little distracting
- The rigging could use a little attention. His knees and elbows collapsed a bit.

But again, great work none the less! :applause:

aaahaha, really cool. Like the way that it starts out, with Ultraman looking tough and serious, and then he suddenly starts dancing. Great work :thumbsup:

Haha, that's great. Like the gut, he's kinda let himself go since the old days. :D Nice mocap, except for really checking out little places it's totally a guy in a suit. The reflection on the building when he walks by is nice too. I was enslaved doing CG for power rangers for a time, so it's getting me there..heh. That cheesy silver paint and foam they like is tough to make convincing :)

Only thing I'd say is the camera is a little distracting, looks like you just used a couple of photos and moved them around? The 'live' feel is good and all, it's just starting to be another cliche of CG, I don't know if even amateur cameramen zoom and lose focus as often as CG does now :) Anyway, that's another rant.

Great stuff..you should do his further adventures, could see him leaving giant beer cans across the city.

The animation is great. But I noticed absolutely no movement in the coulds, or any objects in the "real footage" They look alot like still shots? Its very well done. You should add some music.

05-26-2002, 05:03 PM
hey thx everyone for your comments. I'm happy you liked it .
for the mocap we used Kaydara's software "Filmbox". The 3d was done in sofimage 3.9 and the compositing in shake 2.2.

as Keanu would say, "Whoa." :surprised

That just kicked it up several notches..impressive..most impressive. I thought there were just some nice tricks going on to comp his reflections in..

Think that calls for some :buttrock: or even :xtreme: maybe :airguitar

What 3d Package, renderer, and MO CAP did you use? It's seamless.

Great job!!!

ryanjohnsonD look above :)

Really funny shit. When he starts to move fast it reminds me off bad Power-Ranger-like seiries but they are not THAT funny.

Why no stars fo this? Points to make: 1) great "aged" ultraman, the potbelly was a nice aesthetic choice; 2) The reflections on the towers were very convincing and did allot to enhace the realism; 3) The camerawork was also convincing and really lent allot to the notion that a film crew or video amateur was ctaching the whole thing. Will he have an "old" enemy to fight? Oh, and the dance moves were a riot. Great job.
