Hey everyone,

  We've released a teaser for an upcoming CGI short film called The Message. Please take a look at tell us what you think! Modeling primarily done in modo, surfacing in 3ds Max/Vray and comp work in Nuke. The complete short is about 6 minutes long with roughly 120 shots.

Hey guys and gals,

Thank you for the warm comments! We worked pretty hard on this and still working hard to find time and money to get the short completed by next year. The cuts are rather quick and it’s tough to get good shots of the bike so I wanted to also share an image of it as well.

This is looking awesome la akira. I really cannot wait to see the finished product.

If your having trouble raising some fund’s, i’m sure your teaser, and a well produced pitch video on kickstarter would get you the money you need.

Good luck!

Hey Syphin,
I took your advice and threw together a kickstarter for the project. Added a few test renders and previs shots if you’re interested in checking it out. :slight_smile:

Here is another render from ‘The Message’. Again, modeled in modo, surface/lighting in 3dsmax/vray and all the comp work done in nuke. Crowd simulation was done using thinking particles. There are about 70,000 or so animated characters.
