05 Dec 2007Hello all
Heres some stills and a link to a recent piece i completed over at JellyFish pictures, London. Its a spot for Discovery Channel and was created with 3Dsmax and Brazil RS. Composited in Combustion and Fusion. It was great fun to do, but there were many sleepless nights and wkends! Giant textures, bump, normals, displacement, multimillion poly counts and particles. its all in there. I think i spent weeks making shaders....
Im posting a big making of page on my personal site soon - but for now - check out the whole piece here -

05 Dec 2007That's cool man, Really nice employment of the whole time lapse thing. I think you guys did a good job of keeping in time-lapse mode while having certain things like gravity stay the same but just a bit slowed down as well. And the music was perfect for it.

05 Dec 2007wow that was really cool! how many people worked on the project and what was the time frame? a very well done piece.
-
05 Dec 2007thanks for comments chaps...
zachm - yes, we ended up blending and bending reality in terms of the timelapse effect. rain and so on just doesnt work in stop motion - so lots of tests and versions where made until it all sat togther....
the music was done by Ben lukas Boyson - aka hecq - http://www.hecq.de
ridestowe - glad you liked it. for the vfx, there was myself and a fusion compositor. we spent about 6 wks on the project. a couple more weeks were added for revisions and tweaks and post/sound by client. -
05 Dec 2007hey, that was great! May I suggest this be plugged?
That was some pretty spectacular texturing work!! The various stages of rust were really great, and the snow as it was melting looked spot on! Great work! Kudos also to the cool time lapse growing plant!
really great spot! Did you guys do fifty years of research to see all the stages a can went through?
Also, I think the important message being delivered by this commercial can be summed up as such - Aluminum Cans Recycle themselves! Yay!
I'm so kidding!

05 Dec 2007Absolutely outstanding in every way. Brilliant spot.
-
05 Dec 2007This was fantastic!!! INCREDIBLE texture work!
*plugged* -
05 Dec 2007incredible full stop!
who was that at the end of the making of? the director? -
05 Dec 2007Nothing to add except that it's just plain awesome. You guys nailed it.
-
06 Dec 2007Fantastic work guys! That was a fantastic spot, really got the massage across as well. The texturing and environment was incredible - i really liked the snow as well - and the fact that we only saw a glimpse of the tree growing, and then the stump at the end - powerful stuff guys!
-
06 Dec 2007thanks everyone - glad you like it...and thanks for the plugging slot....
glad you noticed the growing plant. that was a big pain in the arse. a last minute addition to replace an earlier concept. it was done with particle flow - lots of spawning.
hype - actually there ws a far bit of research into a cans lifecycle. originally it was gonna be 100 years. but the actual average is abotu 50. our server has a big folder filled with hundreds of pictures of cans....interesting for no one....
richard - the guy at teh end is the same guy as at teh beginning of the spot, stefano salvini, the jellyfish producer. it began to rain, so he seized the opportunity....
there is an alt. directors cut availble online on motionographer and various other postings which shows the original footage concept at teh beginning
here it is

iest rob - glad you liked the snow! was a bit of a nightmare to get lookign right. all these enviroment effects where listed and i was wincing and crying when reading through them all. it took a whole weekend to get working. pflow, glu3d with a relax modifier and lots of procedural textures.
ive began a more detailed making of page which has info a bit more relevant to 3d peeps like us, with some grabs, WIP and and textures.
