- will be using 3ds max, RayFire, PFLow/TP5 and FumeFX , for ~ 1 minute CG shot
     - working on idea now and the first storyboard

Here is the storyboard for my ‘Secret Garden’ idea.
Now working on the animatic to lock-down models, timing and effects.

                                         Storyboard for the , "[i]Secret Garden[/i]"
                                          
                       * camera static for entire shot [but for shaking]
                                       - with its fuse going , bomb (a) rolls down hill left to right
                                         - bomb (a) with fuse still going slows down before reaching bench
                                         - pause a few seconds ...  [the anticipation]
                                         - kboom!  bomb (a) explodes [rather thick blobby fluid to feel cartoony]
                                         - bomb case explodes into a rainbow smoke puff -- flinging out 1000 magic seeds
 - bench undamaged by magical puff
                                         - seeds eventually fall to grass
 - colorful magic flowers start to sprout [in a chain reaction] over the entire hill
                                         - watch flowers grow for a few seconds
                                         - with its fuse going , bomb (b) rolls down hill --but when halfway down-- cut to black; end
                                         
                                             
                   thanks,

Ahh, thats a great idea man! I’ll be interested to see how your growing flowers turn out. Getting that right “springy” sprouting motion is a wonderful effect when it’s done well!

#4

Thanks man :wip:

                         I have a few ideas on how the flowers can spring up with a cartoon spring and other ideas ....

Some research and the animatic. Working on many additional things, like the clouds, birds, fuse, smoke bomb, grass etc, and to save time I slowly turn the animatic files into the final shots.

Looks awesome. I like the idea with flowers, and I have had the “o-o!” moment when I saw second big bomb coming. So funny!

Very nice indeed. A fun little animation, lots of colours and a nice cartoony feel. I was hoping that the big bomb rolling down the hill would have squashed the flowers a little (wire deformers on curves).

Overall really nice shot. Gratz man!
