'World' Scene Playblast

A quick Playblast to show how the World scene works, just in case it did'nt make much sense.

World Scene

What might look strange from far away, when the camera is in position makes an interesting world perspective that follows the character walking along with a sombre depressing look, then in the next scene he gets his boost and walks with strength and pride!

'Weights' Scene 3

The final scene has the character all boosted of his Red Bull hit, managing to lift the weights in one hand whilst simply relaxing.

'Weights' Scene 2

Like the previous post, these are the scenes of the Red Bull weightlifter going through the stages, in this part he takes the syringe to his arm in a last bid attmept to gain that extra power...

'Weights' Scene

Another Red Bull based scenario, where the main protagonist is attempting to do some weights, yet theyre way too heavey, until he takes a quick blast of RB and can lift it with one hand! Heres some scenes from the first weightlifting section;

Project So Far....

Since i discovered Toon Shader, the whole project has been a lot of fun for me. At this point without it, i dont think id be as satisfied with the general look and feel of it. Also, because the Toon Shader makes the textures a lot simpler and i havent used lighting or backgrounds the scenes render out extremely quickly, which is really helpful.
If i could change one thing so far it would be my own rigging skills, as the character ive been using regularly deforms and mishapes in certain positions, and sometimes, mostly in walk cycles, the outstide of the body overflaps and crinkles. Its ok though, as it only makes my life harder!

Title Sequence

Ive finally devised my opening! itl be quite cool as imgoing to have it start off looking inside a beaker of Red Bull, making the screen one colour, then zoom out revealing what it is and having a small description of the context and the actual moviee.

Bath Blaster!!

After the RB Bath Tablet has dissolved you feel the effects instantly and all the dreary morning feelings 'fly awaaaaaay'!

New Red Bull MErch!

This is a kind of tablet that once dropped into the bath releases all its continents and really sets you up for your day!

More pics on their way!

New Red Bull MErch!

In the same league as the Red Bull Lipstick comes the Inhaler, breathing in thick blasts of 100x concentrated RB!

I'm going to do a few more of these gimmick items as theyre fun to model and easy to animate plus i really love the toonshader look!

Final Palm Tree Playblast

Quick section of animation from the palmtrees part..

Finished Images of Palm Tree

Heres a couple of stills of the finished plam tree in a few of its poses. Im going to include a playblast also which will give you an idea of whats actually going on!

Lipstick Playblast

Quick playblast of lipstick opening etc.

It probably makes no sense what actually happens at the moment but itl make sense trust mee.

Red Bull made up products...

Quick update on more Red Bull products, this time something more on track than floating orange pieces....Red Bull lipstick, to make those kisses just a bit more energetic!

Orange Playblast

This is a short test playblast of a clip of one part of the film. plesae note ITS A LOT A LOTTT SLOWER THAN HOW ITS MEANT TO BE. i dont know why is so sloww

werid bath animation thing..hard to explain...

These are a few stills from a piece where the product is Red Bull bath mixture which is meant to wake you up but just turns the character crazy. It'll make more sense once ive done some more work on it yo.

Flying Orange Animacion basically done naoo

After spending the whole day finishing off this short movie, im pretty happy with the outcome. From these pictures its hard to tell whats actually happening but am trying to figure out how i can put up a playblast. I still need to work on the camera as its can be slightly jumpy but ive got plenty of time to fix it up.

Finished Riggings

After a few tutorials and a pinch of Dave's vast expertise ive finally finished rigging my main character. May not look like much but for me this is a rather special occasion as rigging was my scariest point to look forward to! Although saying this i havent managed to finish off painting weights, thats still a little beyond my reach! Will hafta wait til tomoro for one of the experts help!

Prototype Character Introductions Yo

Keeping in with my more simplistic modelling style ive got one basic character which features in all the animations. Hes based on the flat style toilet door man.

As you cann see its very basic which will make it easy to animate. At this point im not sure if its better with a darker or lighter outline.

In the story he drinks Red Bull to get his energy and when he does he turns into this:

Theres also a short part with an orange and a palm tree which when they get Red Bull on them they become alive and do some fun stuff. heres early images of them:

New Project!!

Back to doing it solo, ive chosen to go down the Advertising route and have selected Red Bull as my company. For the project i think im just going to make it as crazy and caffeine based as possible. Lots of moving and disorientation. Im going to heavely base it on animating as for past projects ive focused more on modelling. This is a pleasent change for me as i was really tiring of texturing etc as its just something i have never really been amazing at, whereas i feel confident in my animating skills. The models im going to use will just be basic and textures will be simple but im going to make up for that by animating well and editing interestingly.
