This project was made around November/December at RGB Prod (the animation studio where I work every now and then, on Aubonne, Switzerland), Blender was used for most of the project, besides all 3D related stuff it was also used for most of the compositing, some FX were done in After Effects.

My involvement on this project included character design (based on client requirements, basically an Optimus Prime lookalike character based on the watch they make), storyboard drawing and 3d OGL crappymatic, then moved on to model tweaking and materials/lighting, and finally some compositing for the first few shots and render tests. The rest (and most) of the work is made by my good friend Olivier Amrein.

The software toolkit for this project included Blender 2.49b, Inkscape, Brender (a renderfarm manager made by Olivier), and After Effects.

Back to Europe on February!

Vacations are over, time to work!, will be flying to Switzerland to continue working at RGB Prod, mostly on animation ads, hopefully there is some character animation involved, I’m eager to do that since a while!.

So that’s it for me in Europe the next few months at least, dunno what comes next (ok have something in mind but is mostly hopes.. stay tunned! )..

Plumiferos to be premiered?

Looks like! There are even new (and not that new) images/videos of it floating around on the interwebs, it is supposed to be premiered on cinemas (in Argentina at least) on February 18th, too bad I won’t be here to watch it , so will have to wait for the DVD to see what the new team did with what I left back in 2007. Will be fun
