Atomos Ninja Assassin - Timelapse

Malcolm Finnie has suggested that the Atomos Ninja Assassin (what a great name!) will be a great way to go when creating timelapse....
Looks very cool and user friendly in this link https://vimeo.com/126891372

And I found this youtube video of the results....looks brilliant!
How great is this...DJCAD have the kit and Scotland has the landscape!

'Generation Game Challenge - Sculpt a 3D self portrait in Zbrush!

Friday's 3D class...
The 'Generation Game Challenge' - Sculpt a 3D self portrait in Zbrush!
Using import Maps, 3D editable spheres, clay build up, move and dam standard brushes, smooth tools and Dynamesh to increase the polygon count....

Sean's 'Watch and Learn' demonstration was superb....brilliantly observed, great knowledge of anatomy and he made it look wonderfully effortless...

.
So after lunch, our turn.
If this were a cake decorating challenge, this is the equivalent of what I hoped to produce, versus
reality....

My basic model, so far at the end of day one...I'll aim to work on this over the next couple of weeks....
Practice, practice, practice....

Enchanted Forest - Pitlochry 2016. Final film research

Wow!!! open air in a forest, 3D, live, vivid and intense cobalt purple trees and this spectacular animated light display, back projected onto a fountain mist cloud above a lake!!

This is fantastic reference and inspiration for the hope scene within 'Thaw'; and how this can be represented...
A crescendo of uplifting music, poetic and transformative abstract imagery, to illustrate the moment as the protagonist emerges from shadows into the light...
