[harmonic01]

I love it....... except I can't read Spanish. But it's very entertaining. :applause:

[lildragon]

Very well done, not much I can crit. Love the entire thing. Good to see you posting again. Helps me with my spanish heh

[Enrique Gato]

Ah yes, I forgot saying that I couldn't make an English version.

Hey Lildragon, I'd like to ask you something. What happened to the animations section in the gallery? I can't find it.

Maravilloso! El corto me gusta muchisimo.
Cuanto tiempo trabajaste por este corto?


:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[urgaffel]

Great work Enrique! I have nothing to crit :)

[Jo B.]

top!
this is great! love the hand held camera style!
btw. who is responsable for the music?
fits totally great - hollywood!
great job.
:surprised

[elnady]

Good Work buddy:thumbsup:

[tobiasth]

amazing, love the style and the fantastic motion of the character :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Garma]

hehe very cool, great style. However it'd be perfect without the white flash on the transition from the comics book to the animation. Don't think that would be too difficult.

That's really everything I can come up with, it's just great

:thumbsup:

[juanjgon]

Great work ... i love history and animation ... :beer:

Regards,

[CuTnPaste]

Superb!

Really great animations, timing, humor and quality.

GREAT

:applause:

[kr3ml]

Wow ! That was awesome :applause: , Great story , animation and very good sound editing ! What more can one ask for ?!?

great job :thumbsup:

[darnel25]

Really Really good. Really nice work. I like all the details you put into it.

[Rudity]

Awesome short!

I really enjoyed it.

This is the second outstaning short I've seen you post here on CGtalk.. You've just inspired me to work harder.

Thanks
Rudity

[Reality3D]

Top Notch work Enrique!


Vaya salto desde el corto Bicho 8). Hay planos de camara(como en el que sobrevuela al robot y lo lanza) que son espectaculares. Alguna productora que viera el corto quizás se animase a intentar un largo de Superlopez. Podría ser espectacular. El 3D le ha sentado de maravilla. Saludos y sigue así(esperamos ansiosos el making of)!

[Neox]

BRAVO! really amazing.

[Wiro]

Amazing! GREAT animation, funny all the way through! The style reminds me of the Clever & Smart comics (can't remember the authors). I love the way he gets smacked into the wall with the garbage bin following up, then emerging with two bumps on his head, LOL!
Great work

Wiro

[iayestaran]

Gracias Gato!! Hacia tiempo que no se te veia!

Man, I love Super Lopez, and I had to do a double take when I saw it featured on cgtalk. I was like: "Wait a second, that's Super Lopez" Te ha quedado fenomenal!! :beer:

[Rmortis]

Great Jan 3d,well i think super is more short, and more curves on his body.
And Robot i think havent same design.

O lo que es lo mismo, me gusta el diseño 3d, pero para parecerse mas al original me lo imagino con mas curvas y mas bajo,
Y el robot no parece tener el mismo diseño bueno es solo oponion personal, esta muy bien el corto.Para cuando la pelicula?

Wiro,in spain clever and smart named mortadelo y filemon and have a real movie.Francisco Ibanez is the autor.

sorry mine english.

[Pancreas]

Mecachis en la mar! Gracias por animar a Superlópez, el mejor tebeo que leía cuando era pequeño. Verlo en 3D y darse piñazos ha sido alucinante, joer que casi lloro.

Tendrias que hablar con Jan para hacer una serie de cortos o algo así.
Naranjas! Joer que recuerdos.

[Wiro]

RMortis: thanks! It just went up for me that Super Lopez is also a comic from the same guys. Great repro of the style in this short!

It would be appreciated if you folks could reply in English though, just to let other people in on the crits too.

Wiro

[FloydBishop]

I really like the way you use the thought bubbles in this piece. Very well done!

The transformation of the robot and the camera work are very nice as well. The weight and motion of the characters is very solid as well.

I could watch Super Lopez fight robots all day long!!

[PaxtonGerrish]

:buttrock:

[oxyg3n]

This was really well done, It looked very professional.

[FUG1T1VE]

Este trabajo esta chingon!?! cuando podremos mirar a todeo jones.

[SketchPad]

two words ----> TOO COOL!!!!!

:beer:

I really *REALLY* look forward to more episodes, now THIS
is what can be done with 3d animation, FUN beliveable FUN!

Excellent job, the expressions are great, the timing is good
and man...If I go on, I'm probably going to do that thing that
"dogs do to legs" you know so I better shut up now :drool:

I'd subscribe to an animation series like this, it's 10 times better
than reading the comic book itself!

Cheers,
SketchPad

[og_reborn]

yeah I agree the stylization (is that a word?) of the thought bubbles is really entertaining.
The animation is some of the best I've seen here in a long time.
really inspiring!

[el_mone]

Gato! que guapo !!!!!!:beer: My congrats

Finally you get a very nice piece. It really reminds me of the feeling of the comic. The animation is so good and the camera. I like a lot the intro in the room and the final. In this way the shot get more consistence I think...

[agreenster]

How awesome was THAT? Man, what great animation and nice slapstick comedy! I'm very impressed. Its stuff like this that really inspires people to work harder!

BTW: The sound effects were GREAT.

Buenisimo! (?)

[webfox]

I'm normally against fanboy posts, but when the product is this good, what else can you do?

Every bit of it was entertaining!

I especially liked the thought balloon treatment.

The care in handling the dynamics was especially well done, too.

The hero's walk was perfect. Very lifelike and believable.

Congratulations on such a wonderful job!

[Chagidiel]

Great short! :applause:

Nothing to crit. Very funny and very POWERFUL! Guess it is the combo of that awesome soundfx and editing and great animation (you know what you are doing, that is clear!). I really felt the punches and flights and drops in my stomache. Great camera-animation and cool composing in general.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :buttrock:

Clever & Smart (Mortadelo y Filemón) is a spanish comic too, like Super López. But is not the same author. Francisco Ibañez is the author of the first one, and Juan López Fernández aka "JAN" is the author of the second one. It´s a pitty that Clever & Smart is more well known around the world. Here, in Spain, Super López is better considered by comic readers, due to his higher quality in art & stories. Ther are a lot of people waiting for a movie from long time ago.... me too.

BTW, Gato, tío siempre he flipado contigo, pero ahora has dejado un listón muy alto por aquí.... Voy a mandarle el link a Jesús Iglesias, si no te importa.... (para que llore).

[My Fault]

Wow, beautiful work.

Thought balloons were very clever and well animated. Love the robot transformation. Wonderful timing and weight in both Super Lopez and the robot. You really felt it when SL kept getting smashed in to the building.

Amazing! :applause: :applause: :applause:

[kodinaarian]

hey, seen a perfect piece of animtion in a long time. very good camera work. and way to go man.........keep it up.waiting for more to see from yours:wip: :wip:

[Cararan]

hahahahaha. Excellent animation. :buttrock: :buttrock: Totally rocked.

[RockinAkin]

VERY nice short!

The animation was superb, well timed, with a good story, etc.
Great job with the soundtrack as well.

Cant really find anything wrong with it.
Keep up the great work.

[Omnicrola]

Superb!:applause:

[ckpew99]

WOW! no crits here!
Animation looks really good, I especially like the camera movements that you have used throughout the animation.

Curious, what software are you using to create the animation.

Keep posting!! Its an inspiration to see work like this.

[olijosman]

fantastic adaptation of Super Lopez!!and fantastic work , of course!! you remember the "cabezacubos"?:beer: :applause:

[medula]

Beautiful! bravo! :applause:

Very polished work, smooth and well timed animation. It doesn't get any cleaner!

Good job! :thumbsup:

[chewaka]

Juuer tio que molon, y pensar que lo he visto nacer delante de mis narices, mientras yo (como no) jugaba al SWG.....:cool:

Esto son de esas cosas que motivan para poner hacerte tus cosas.....dios!!! juro que al partir de ahora me pondre hacer algo de 3D en serio......bueno, voy a por una birra y a ver una peli :rolleyes:

a ver si quedamos y tomamos algo, que vivimos pegaos juer :beer:

[fabriciomicheli]

Espectacular!

Excelente trabajo Enrique. Realmente te felicito. ...vamos a ver cuando va a ser el día en que yo pueda encarar un proyecto como este...

Hay algún sitio oficial de la animación? o dónde se puede encontrar más info sobre ella?

Cheers pal. :beer:

Amazing job again.

:applause: Keep kicking asses!!!!!!!

[IDMaX]

i saw it in 3dyanimacion , its amazing ,:buttrock: you are my new idol:applause:




a los españoles , me parece muy bien , que somos españoles , y nos entendemos , pero por respeto a los demas , deberiamos escribir en ingles , el idioma estandarizado de este foro;)

[ninjacore]

Loved it!!!!!!!!!

theres something really special about this little animation. its just so easy to watch and become engrossed in the characters and environment. i really liked the superlopez' walk, or should i say strut?heheh.

good insperation!thanks!!:buttrock:

[chewaka]

I try again...

Woooohhh, Great work Gato, fantastic animation......very nice friend.

Sorry for my english please.

IDMAX:

Estoy contigo en eso de escribir en ingles y tal, pero tienes que entender que no todos sabemos el idioma, aun asi aqui esta mi nuevo post (algun dia lo aprendere.....sigo con mi birra)

[dutch]

some of the best animation ive seen in a while

[delly]

me too, Excellent work :thumbsup: :buttrock:

[spheratu]

absolutamente cojonudo,enrique!!
saludos desde barcelona!

[Enrique Gato]

Hey, thanks everybody for all this nice feedback!!

I'll drop some general information about the short in order to answer all your questions:

- The 3D software used was 3D Studio Max 5.1
- All the short has been finished in about 4 months in my spare time.
- If somebody wonders about the animation of the cape, well it's handmade animation, no physics.
- All the sound and music was also edited by me.
- It was rendered on a PentiumIV 2900 MHz, with 1Gb of Ram, 160 Gb Hd.
- Each frame had a render time of about 22 seconds average (very low as you can see, I had the scene very optimized).

[nemoo]

como mola eso!

great stuff, i love just about everything of your short. camera, animation, mr. lopez, the environment. your rock!

[RobertoOrtiz]

Why you are not at Pixar already?
OK that was wayy too fanboy.

I liked the timing of your animation and the fact that the characters have weight.
The design is great and the enviroment and the setting of your camera is very good.


Good Job!

:thumbsup:

-R
PS Vas a presentar esta animacion en SIGGRAPH???

[Eyemagic]

Hi, Enrique!. The animation is superb, I love Super Lopez and now you are one of my personal idols :D.

Seriously, I'm very impressed about the cape animation (wow, handmade animation, and only in 4 months:eek: :eek: ), great style, and good sound editing... Congratulations!!!!

Cheers!

[Gal]

it is simple, but it doesnt look simple, which is great.
the best thing about this short in my opinion is the camera motion/complements on the animation.. it was very dynamic.
really good work on that one, and that is a very tough job as well to get an interesting/pleasing result.

btw, olijosman .. you are great man, very funny ;)
it doesnt snow here.. but you could squize 20 liters of water from me this morning.. rain... plus i really enjoy your work.

[gnomonguru]

:applause: That was awesome I loved it, and very good animation. Hope to see more of your work in the future.

[erilaz]

Fantastic. I fell in love with the great use of speech-bubbles. Such a simple but brilliant technique!:D

[DKScully]

WOW.... MOLAAAA¡¡¡ Que envidia.... esta hecho con un gusto especial.... muy guapo....

Espero que tengas mucha suerte en tus cositas... y a ver si la industria en España crece y se hace seria... AYssss...

Un saludo....

[siquier]

Congrats fiend, the pocket bot is fantastic to me, my applause.

[safakoner]

Super :applause:

[JohanFX]

la reostia machote!!! excellent work!! :buttrock: the way that you manipulate those dialog boxes... incredible!! absolutly awesome!! :beer: :applause:

[iayestaran]

IDMAX you also have to realize that not everybody speaks english. In most cases they have replied in both languages. I, personnaly, find it hard, specially with a topic like Super Lopez that's so dear to most spaniards, not to make some sort of comment in spanish - it's just natural.

[Raul3d]

Es la leche, de lo mejor que he visto, es simplemente perfecto.:thumbsup:

WOW!!!

[Raul3d]

Es la leche, de lo mejor que he visto, es simplemente perfecto.:thumbsup:

WOW!!! It´s perfect, one of the best animations I´ve ever seen, you rock man!

hey enriquie. i like your short, but one thing. why does everyone feel compeled to do the same idea? that is the key. its fun etc, but i cant help thinking of phish man, or the phish man copy.....or even the Incredibles:).. anyhow, the animation is great and not to snappy etc.

I repeat that the whole story of the short is based on a comic character that exist since 1973, and I'm just making a short about that character, who is a parody of Superman. And I also repeat that this is just a tribute to Superlópez, why do you think this isn't a work that I can't feel satisfied for?

Of course I like creating my own characters, but this is just another way to create stories.

[fluxgrafx]

cool. sorry bout this misunderstanding. i should have read the other posts first.

[ShinChanPu]

for people who don´t know Super López comic books....

>>Link3<< (http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/suplopez.htm)



:annoyed: Very few stuff found, and the most of it with very low quality.

[Frenkie]

hey!nice anim!
but, we don't know the superlópez comics in hungary,im sure,it would be more interresting.
like the music :)
excellent work.

[nomad_girl]

great short!

cool look you have going on here & some really good animation. i like the thought bubbles alot too-- although i only understand some of it --- (pourquito espanol para me!) but i really like the concept.

one thing i might suggest-- is that maybe push your animation even faster in one or two places--- like in comics how sometimes the character flies and all you see is a blurred streak-- or some stars fly off when there is a POW or KICK-- i guess what i am saying is it might be really cool to see some really graphic symbols in some places--- making it more cartoony and comic book-like. I think this would be really fun and fit the look you have going on well. it would also contrast with a couple of the slower parts-- like when he pulls himself out of the wall.

i really enjoyed it.

[katekolesar]

omg! amazing, inspiring and brilliant!

[oxhido]

congratulations gato!!!

brillant work, top notch animation!!!

has reflejado perfectamente el espiritu del comic, felicidades tio

[Almaraz]

:applause: :applause: :applause:
es la purtitita reositia! Enrique Gato eres un master de la animacion!

me a encantado el look que le haz dado, esa iluminacion, el manejo de las camaras, todo! impresiontante!

felicidades!!!, cuando sea grande quiero ser como tu :beer:

[AndHolzmeister]

exelent work! reminds me the colors and look of the Monstropolis city from Monster Inc.

[vizion]

beautifull job dude. You should turn it into a longer story, or maybe develop the character more..sidekicks, bad guys, etc.. Just an amazing creation.

[buzzlightyr]

what-a-comic very nice...

[Elpaco]

Awesome!!!

I've been watching your work fo awhile....keep it going....you just keep getting better!

You're inspiring me to get going with my next piece!!!

[joie]

Hi!
I´m a very fan of Súper López (I translated the entire comic "Los petisos carambanales y otras petisoperías", wich is a hard work man!).
But I´d stay the camera sticked.
All your anim is made from one shoot only, I´d made cuts and stay the camera stopped, it´d be more "comicish", you know...
You have made a good work anyway.

[brewerjoseph]

I love the angles and camera movement. The animation is superb!

Are there any good tutorials out there on animating and placing cameras in a 3d environment? When I try animating a camera like that it never turns out right.

:drool:

[AniMo]

duuuuuuuude thatas nice :)

[MosaFacku]

you've come a long way since bicho. good stuff man. keep it up!

:buttrock:

[3dmask]

Somebody told me about this post, and I see I did right entering to watch it.
Awesome short Enrique, I really enjoyed it. I'd really love to be able to make such a good work like this

Congratulations.

[koroko]

Enrique, muchos, digo para muchos de ciertas generaciones, superlopez y jan fueron inspiración, aun me acuerdo de copiar sus dibujos...de hecho aun despues de muchos años, tengo imagenes muy claras de algunos de sus comics...

Yo te doy un 10 por la elección del pje y la idea...otro diez en la realización, y otro diez mas por q me apetece...desdeluego hay cosas q son mejorables y seguro q tu mejor q nadie las ves...pero hay q poner el fin a un trabajo en algun momento, no?

Muy bueno la transicion de cara normal, a cara hinchada llena de chichones y roja de cabreo....muy buena la iluminacion, realmente a mi me lleva al comic...


Un gran trabajo,

PS: a ver si alguien pica, y lo llevais a la tele, q los niños de ahora ven unas cosas q da verguenza ajena...:)

Well, I supose this is just another way to plan the scene. I'd probably like that camera setup that you say, but the way I made it was the best one I found when I did the short. Nice crit anyway.

[joie]

Just hope it´d helped a bit...

:)

[mudgift]

wow cool ...
great animation ....really love the intro where the superlopez get "frost" in the car hi hi hi (I'm sorry I dont understand anything hes thinking ....)
really cool ...should make episode ....
10/10 !!!!!
:beer: :beer: :beer:

[stv]

absolutely nothing to criticize! it'a great show!

bravo!

:applause: :applause: :applause:

[Frinsklen]

wow...

Congratulations, that's all I can say, Enrique.
Amazing piece of work. Loved the shot where he jumps on the robot in anger and throws it away... stunning. Nice choice on the music too.
Animation looks real good, I wish it had been slightly snappier and maybe faster in certain moments, but i'm just being picky, i know. Great work on the cape too. It's fun to see how nicely you've achieved some of the original character's expressions, like the one with the finger in his mouth, really neat.

oh, forgot to say I'm a SL fan too, I've got (almost) all of his comics. I think you should tell JAN about this short, he'd love to see it, that's for sure!

:thumbsup:

un saludo

[nanosky3d]

MUY BUENOO!!!! :thumbsup: Great animation and nice look like the comic.I remember when i was child ( and adult ) and i read each comics of Superlopez(tears came to my eyes).
I really hope the spanish industry get involved in quality projects ( snif ) , you know...........i´m waiting......ehemm
I want see your next work.......hehehe..... meanwhile --> :beer:
