The Tan James

Probably the best collab to ever happen to the EDM community. 

Rendering another 2 minute animation (put together in about 3 hours work)

Screw infinity war, THIS IS WHAT IM EXCITED FOR NOW

So a bit of an update about my inactivity. 
I have finals coming up soon along with the final film projects on my back, I also have my english final project, spanish final proj, and physics final proj. I've been super SUPER busy lately. and any spare time i get i try and get some fresh air and bike. But heres what i got on my back (including school stuff)

1. All those school projects and finals
2. Furvum (Scripting currently)
3. Ondine's Curse (Unnanounced Film that We've scripted and are now storyboarding)
4. Film class music video
5. Work (I work on a farm)
6. Private lessons with my Sound Designer (Not telling who it is for privacy reasons.)
7. Practicing Some Dirt Bike tricks (180's, Rollbacks, Tail Whips, and no Footers) 

So yeah. I doubt I'm going to get to REALITY any time soon let alone the MGB Central page. So Currently If you want to challenge someone I'd suggest just posting your Character on the topic until i have time to put up all your characters.
I'd also like to update that i need to learn alot, and i mean, ALOT of After Effects in order to achieve "Furvum" so CRYO AND SKIBBZ I might need your help at some point fam. 

Also Ondine's Curse is taking so long to Choreograph considering it needs a ton of prosthetics and makeup along with Extremely Well done Cinematography and lighting. Thus we are story boarding ALL OF IT

Both projects are expected to be Over 10 minutes long.

In short,

Reality is on Standby
Furvum needs CGI help and Scripting
Ondine's Curse needs Choreographing
AND I NEED SLEEP

kthx bye. 

So after watching the Rough Draft of the Ending to R E A L I T Y, A flood of emotions came over me. Not because of the story, but more so that This character is me, and I'm feeling everything he feels. And just seeing the simple shot as the picture up against the tree, brings me close to tears.

so I snapped my fingers and 5 seconds later i puked

I really don't feel so good

So i've been experimenting with types of fighting styles in Reality as you may be able to tell. However, I'm having difficulty deciding which one was the most effective in terms of making the fight an actual good fight. Here are the notes I jotted down in a .txt file


 

Concept 1 

2D Continuous 

Concept 2

2D Cutting

Concept 3

3D Jump Shot

Concept 4 (First Fight)

3D Multi Shot

Concept 4 (Second Fight)

2D Multi Shot

Concept 5 (First Fight)

3D Energetic

Concept 5 (Second Fight)

2D Energetic

*when 2D is described, it refers to the shots that show the fight from the side view similar to mortal combat. 3D is where the camera explores further angles other than a simple side shot

*Difference between Continuous and Cutting is that Continuous is all one shot with out any cuts in a large portion (preferably >10 seconds) while Cutting is where the camera changes location and cuts a shot.

*Jump Shot is similar to 2D Cutting, however, the shot begins at the start of a new move in slow motion, and ends with the ending of the move still in slow motion. The sync in the music is often expressed by the angle change.

*Multi Shot refers to the style where multiple camera angles are used on the same move in a given fight

*Energetic refers to the movement of the camera which often matches the same transitions and movements as the character or move in a given shot. Energetic also contains Camera shake for many of the moves.

Someone Reacted to R E A L I T Y! 

Sometimes i miss being new to animating. I miss trying to strive to be noticed in the community. I miss when i wasnt a well known animator and i was new. 

I dont know what it is. It seems like ive basically achieved all i can achieve (excluding completing true love and reality) and i feel kind of pointless.

Sometimes these forums can sicken me. 

spooky test thing

Still think my Anti Boob rig was better than anything i've ever made dont @ me

The Concept 6 Premiere page is up! It will go live at 4PM Pst on January 19th

This isnt big enough for a topic so

Ur a monkey that is 0 0 255

We filled up one LEH tag for Hunting with a small antlerless deer. Maybe a little bit more than 100 lbs?

What is happening to MI realms

When you're stung by a wasp, bit by a spider and attacked by a rogue duck.

You know... despite having ADHD, I never once had a desire for a fidget spinner...
