#1

OH FOR PETE’S SAKE! Will I never learn from past mistakes! Apparently not. But this topic is just… awesome. Thanks Roberto, you just stole Christmas! Roberto the Grinch!

#2

Good luck Jonas, can’t wait to see what you come up with :thumbsup:

#3

…This will be interesting :cool: good luck!

#4

Statistically, there’s only a 25% chance that I’ll finish, so… don’t get your hopes up! :wink: But thanks for the interest, I guess that’ll make me struggle harder to complete.

#6

Those are good odds! My statistics are about 1%! :slight_smile:

#7

I ll be watching close your progress and hope 25% is enough for you to make it through. Btw, very cool your latest commercial add.

Good luck!

#8

OK, unlike everyone else who’s close to finished, I still don’t know what I’m going to do… here’s one concept sketch: an expedition has found a giant hole in the arctic ice, and the camera wooshes down to reveal THE LOST CITY OF ICE, all illuminated in sub-surface scattering and GI bounces.

Another idea involves a ship sailing through an ice canyon, towards a massive gate of ice, leading into… yea, same thing as above.

There’s also a third idea that starts out with some underwater architecture, and then we break through the surface, to reveal… well, you know what. :slight_smile:

This reminds me of the original movie “The Thing” where the scientists form a circle to outline the size of a frozen alien spaceship. That was a great establishing shot.

I like the hole in the ice idea!

#10

Interesting comparison, Mustan! Haven’t seen The Thing in a while…

Here’s a new sketch:

#11

Looks epic, I like it
Looking forward to see more :slight_smile:

For one reason or other, it made me think about Lord of The Rings, when the fellowship row by the huge statues :smiley:

#12

I like that hole in the arctic ice concept,other than adding the figures & chopper it looks quite achieavable too,hope to see you get it started,and finished

#13

That looks pretty cool! Smart move to put that boat there, the scene feels huge. I would love to see that shot worked out.

Now FORCE yourself to finish this baby!

#14

I really like your last sketch.

So where is the 3d work??? :wink:

#15

Hey, thanks. I’m down with the flu AND 200% overloaded at work, so… looks like another bailout is likely from me. :frowning:

I did do a rough animatic though, I suppose I could post that.

  • Jonas
#16

jussing- What 3d softwares and compositing softwares are you using?

#17

Get well soon, I want to see that sketch come to life :eek:

#18

3ds max, finalRender and After Effects.

@JB: Thanks, I’ll do my best! I’ll try to finish ASAP, even if I don’t make the deadline (not that I’ve finished a single of the other FXwars clips that didn’t make the deadline…)

#19

Sorry to hear that you might not finish. Hope you get a sudden burst of health and energy next week! :slight_smile:

#20

So, I’m back to normal health again. Now I just have to cope with the 200% load at work!

But I have the entire evening tonight for this winter project, so I guess I’ll just have to speed model!

Will update later.
