I checked out their website and it looks like they do performance capture or something? What are you going to be working on???
Awesome news!

15 Nov 2007Hey congrats buddy, gots to be happy with that!

15 Nov 2007Thanks guys!
They do performance facial animation, so it's all facial but it's super mega ultra amazing insanely high quality advanced facial. However, it's not mocap!! I get to set keys. Woohoo!
They had an ad for a production assistant opening so I emailed them asking if that was still open or if they had an internship opening. So they emailed me back saying they watched my reel and wanted me to come down and check the place out. I went down Monday night and they told me they were impressed with the facial animation on my pirate shot and after talking a bit he said he wanted to bring me on as an artist. I was totally floored, it was awesome. I start today so we'll see how it goes. =) -

15 Nov 2007Maaan I had to learn max today, I spent the first half of the day trying to figure out how the heck to move things around and change the frame range and make playblasts and all the neat things I needed to do. Got into a groove around 1pm and finally got started on my 3000 frame shot.
It's awesome though. Thanks for the thankses too. =) -
15 Nov 2007Are you kidding me? You have 3000 frame shot?
-
15 Nov 2007Yeah dude. 3641 to be exact.
It's a dialogue sequence between two characters, so there is a lot of time where he isn't saying anything and I just have to keep him alive. Still though, so...many....frames.
I wish I could brag about what game it is, it's so awesome and I'm pretty sure everyone here is going to play it at some point. I've got an NDA though so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to disclose the title. However if one were to go to the http://www.image-metrics.com website, look at their past games, and then compare it to a list of games due out soon made by the same company...one might be able to figure it out without me mentioning it.
I should also mention, I'm not doing it from scratch. All the basic face shapes are in there, puppet style, my job is now to breathe life into it and make it awesome. -
15 Nov 2007DUDE! I almost died when I read this right now. I work at image metrics!! I am a tracker - been there about 5 months. We met a few new people today - which one were you?! Guess i'll see you tomorrow.

15 Nov 2007HAH! AWESOME. I'm the guy with the bad animation, won't be hard to find I think I'm the only one.
Edit..I'm still geekin' out about this lol. There are like 90000 studios in LA and we work at the same one. That rules hahaha. -
15 Nov 2007LOL! L.A. SimplyCG'ers Unite! Inadvertently!

Today LA... tomorrow we take over the World!
Let us know how it goes... can't believe you got thrown a 2 minute anim on your first day?! How long did they give you to do it? -
16 Nov 2007Rock on, Bryan and Jay at the same place!!!! Sweet!! Congrats Jay!!
-
16 Nov 2007In case anyone is interested, with the project Jay is working on the average shot is 3,000 frames or more. Longest shot I have seen so far on that project is 15,000 frames.
Keep in mind this is total frames, not necessarily the number of animated frames which, often, is considerably less. In the 15,000 frame shot *only* 11,000 of those are moving.
The shots are edited with pauses for where the other characters that are interacting will be on screen. We recieved the shots this way from our client, so it was done this way for their purposes.
