Secret Agent Entry: David Schoneveld

#41

Thanks guys, appreciate the encouragement. Both of your entries are coming along nicely as well!

Update. FINALLY! I did the narration this morning and I have the total time about 0:45 seconds (not counting titles 'n such), story, plot, everything is dialed in, and it’s going to be good! I still need to edit the boards and shoot the remaining shots now that I have the narration… no easy feat, but then it’s full bore CG! You know, the part we’re all waiting to do, lol. Argh I felt like it was getting really rough there but I’m happy with the soon to be final edited trailer. I’ll post it w/o the narration :smiley: that, is only for the final. Something to save for greater impact and for me to look forward to marrying the two together.

final anamatic. Footage where it’s been shot, going to shoot the rest early this week.

Left off the narration for the final to marry it all together then for the community.

Haha, I think I see what you mean by “cool but be funny at the same time”.

The intro shot totally cracks me up. What exactly is the (bad?) guy with the mask doing in the end?

Best regards, Varun

That’s freaking sweet man… :thumbsup:

Lovin’ the consecutive explosions, voronoi shatter is looking beautiful.

#45

Looking good, although I can see that some of the shots are wiredly close to what I have proposed in my animatic.

#46

Hah, glad you’re liking it. The end the Evil Genius is talking. But that is part of the joke that brings the whole thing together, kind of a punchline. It’s not THAT funny so I thought I’d save it for the final, so people can get a slight chuckle out of it them.

I didn’t see the similarities, but I might have missed it. I never downloaded the one that wasn’t posted normally. But damn man you stuff is looking good! Are you working on it full time? B/c you are kicking ass and taking names! I want to work with you next time, you’re hard core, and great environmental setups.

Thanks for the reply’s guys.

#47

Can’t wait to see your final edit Dave…sure there will be some top notch effects. Looking forward to seeing the Ship crashing into the buildings. That shot’s gonna be crazy!

#48

Just for the fun of comentary and just to speculate on my competition (and solo which could change to team if they wanted) I’m not 100% on the solo if they are solo or team so… might not be right.

First let me say no disrespect to people not mentioned here. There are very cool entries I didn’t list, but are probably one update away from “this list” in my mind. Teams/guys with lots of concept work I’ve not listed (even tho I’m mostly concept work) but once they get further into production I’ll update this list. It’s definitly anyone’s game still. Lots of time (relatively) and a lot can happen. People can get ubber busy, ubber busy people can have time freed up. Anyway, for my own reasons I like, and think competatively with these teams, som more than others but all this can change week to week.

My Favorites right now:
Staszek - Staszek Marek’s team
djamadj - Jama Jurabaev’s Team
jaras - Jaroslaw Handrysik’s Team

Wild Cards, Team:
eduroam - Eduardo Roa’s Team

I truely feel like I don’t mind getting beat by any of these teams*, all the entries are getting so cool! I can’t wait to see them all finished, and see the ones who don’t finish… oh the DRAMA!! lol.

*by any of these teams I mean, like maaaaaybe 1 or 2 of them LOLOLOL :smiley:

#49

Damn…Wild CARD! Gee, my feelings are hurt. Hehe, glad to be on the list, I got a sh*t load of work to do. Work has been killin me. Must say I agree with alot of your picks, There are a few I’d rearrange, but pretty nice list.

#50

they’re not in order! Just want to be clear. You got wild card b/c you told me a few times you’re not sure if you’re going to finish. Hence if you finish you’re a big contender, but the if makes you a wild card! :smiley:

#51

You got me all motivated all of a sudden. Wild card? Dam. Okay I’ll show you Dave?

By the way…I’m sure you got a few tricks up your sleeve, I not sleeping on you. Your certainly a front runner to take the field down.

Software: Maya

Just slapping the elements together. I’ll rebuild this setup from scratch and do it “right”. Just doing it once to see what’s the best way to do it and where should I focus my attention on it.

#53

nice!

I think it would be really cool to have the eyes blink or move

you could probably just make a set of eyes/lids and make the eyes close right before the mask gets pulled off

…or maybe you can just erase out the eyes of the mask in post
that might look really cool!

good stuff, looking forward to your progress!!

#54

Shot late into the night last night, argh, tiiired. Haven’t seen the footage other than what was in the camera last night. I have the footage but just crashed last night got up and headed right out to work. I would check it tonight but I teach, lol. I’d work in it this weekend but am leaving town for my wife mothers 60th. I’ll find the time… somehow.

Might have to reshoot one shot at a different time of day to make it better.

Staszek & harmless thanks. After the work that’s gone into it so far. I’m getting tired and haven’t even gotten to the FX! I cut the whole project back back back and now it’s not the bad ass FX I originally wanted. I probbably should have and will next time will just joing another group, where I just do the FX. Or at least get more team members early on.

Thanks sknne77 and mightcouldb1. Still a lot of work ahead :smiley: Trying to take it day by day.

I should say I feel great about the shoot it’s just always hard work, and in my mind I want it to be leisure and more fun. Hah! I think it can be more that but I need to shoot more to learn how to do it.

#58

Damn!!!
Fuc***n COOL!!!

uploaded wrong clip (old one)

#60

Software: After Effects

Got some more footage in place, some shots ended up better than others, I guess that’s to be expected. I’ll probably re-shoot the gun ship crash shot since I don’t like the current shot. And probably do it during the day. The location is good, just not the right shot or lighting.
