FXWars! Flying Car, Gotmilk, Back To The Future, Tribute


#3

sweet back to the future rocks! I love the whole trilogy. Good luck on your project. I’ll be posting my wip thread this weekend. I have to model my car, LOL.


#4

Another BTTF fan overhere! So i’m looking forward to your entry. Keep us updated, and good luck with your progress.


#5

A little test. I have no composing experience but i try to learn


#6

Looks good,keep going! Best to you!


#7

Hey Gotmilk,

this is a great test, looks almost final :wink:
I am curious about your next “rendertest”

Good luck, rasher73


#8

Looking great!
I have a little compositing experience if you want a little help.


#9

Thank you for kind words.

Here is my first test render for animation.

Looks pretty nice. At the last part it seems like the car and background don’t match up. Like the car as a different perspective. But that might be just me.


#11

That looks awesome, just like BTF 3D.

But i thing the Car should always stay in the Picture and not move out.

Greets, rasher73


#12

haha awesome!

keep it up. Im going to love all of these submissions


#13

I agree that the car should stay in the picture. I see why you took it out though, you wanted to match it with the music. Instead of taking it out of the picture, maybe you can still match it with the music but in other way. How about making the car do that effect in Back To The Future, where it jumps to light speed so to speak if you know what I mean?

Looks good so far.

Thank you for the replies. I am going to leave that animation the way it is because i am starting to run out of time. It looks bad because the car is shown so little. But i have about 20 seconds more of music to cover. So there will be another shot of the flying Delorean. Right now its only one shot of 10 seconds. The end result should be 2 shots with 25 -30 seconds of a flying car.

I am currently trying to work out camera angles and motion for the second shot. Its kind a hard to look at the flying object for 25 seconds (it tends to get boring). So i have to come up with something interesting. And i am going to keep the car in the frame in second shot. He will not go out of camera bounds this time.

Right now i am planning to make a car do 180 turn and come back into camera (just like BTTF 1 ended :wink: ) and after that BTTF part IV logo flying on screen. I am not going to do fancy time travel effects because my skills are limited and i know that if i would attempt that then i would ruin the entire animation.

If you have any cool ideas for the second shot then i am all ears. :slight_smile:


#15

An image from scene2. I put this animation on render when i go to work tomorrow.


#16

when the car was close to the cloud surface, there was no interaction with the clouds. Even if it doesnt actually fly into the clouds the displaced air from forward motion would aggitate the clouds beneath imo. I also agree with snickets comment about the shots of the car and background looking out of sync. The camera move moves in a different direction to the cars movements, and makes it feel slightly strange motion.

Nice work though :slight_smile:


#17

Thank you for the feedback. There are lots of things that could be better but unfortunately i lack the skills and time.

So this is my final entry. http://www.my-face.co.uk/BTTF4.mov

I would like to thank everyone who commented in my thread. And very special thank you will go to my girlfriend who helped me a lot with this project.

The main reason why i joined this contest was to educate myself and actually finish something. So i will be waiting for the next contest. The more i participate the better my work gets.

Cheers.

Have a nice day!

#19

Yes i know.

The problem is that i am moving to another apartment in this week. So i am unable to invest any time on this project.


#20

October is crazy time… I have my tax return to do, My full-time job just hit alpha and its becoming more of a struggle to have spare time when you work weekends too.

sigh…

Hope you get to finish this buddy. Maybe Roberto will give an extension :wink:


#21

If you gus get 4 more people to agree to this I will do it.

#22

You see just before I hit render on my scene and crashed my pc I was hoping you would say that. I am up for an extension! :smiley: thanks rob.
