Movie main techno:
3D animation

Note: at least one TRUE ACTOR shot.
Why ?
Because from almost all animation movies I have seen, it just sound "empty" if there are only CG characteres.
The true life dimension just lacks.
I have arranged
this real life shot to be easely feaseble.

-Duration: 2/3 mn

-Number of shots: 16

-Music: one pro in the team

Teams till under construction:
-Renaud (scenario, storyboard, 3D meshes, design, etc )
-Paul ( 3D, UVmaps, animation, compositing, etc )
-Kuong (documentation, space science, nuclear science,
weaponery)
-franck: sound
-JM...

Some references
and previous
achivements
Short movies
Props-also...
CG-also...-and...

We are also involved in
experimental
aviation, space,
and sci-fi.

STAR TROOPER
Short movie project based on Heinlein's- 2/3mn, 16 shots
Starship Troopers

Still in construction-last update: Oct 2010-

Below: test sequence:

On cherche un collaborateur pour l'anim et le compositing

-
En plus de ce qui est purement 3D,
il faut savoir faire du montage vidéo et un peu de compositing,
(je pratique moi-meme cela en plus de mon métier mais de façon pas assez professionelle)

fournis:
- tous les designs

-certains meshs, voir tous,
ainsi que les maps et textures par exemple,
tout ce qui est 2d, matte, etc.
L'exosquelette existe déja, le navire et les capsuls sont ébauchées

Les images seront aussi utilisées pour une version de BD,
qui sera présenté pour édition.

Pas forcement de super technique et des rendus de la mort,
pas d'hyper realisme fotographique,
juste un bon niveau.

Merci!! renaud

3D ANIMATOR and COMPOSITOR WANTED

The movie project is based on
the first chapter
of Heinlein's novel.

It describes
the orbit ejection
of the troopers
and their landing on.

One goal is
to be faithfull
to Heinlein's spirit,
especially about:

-the powered armor exoskeletons

-and the orbital
dropping capsules.

What,
if I am not wrong,
have never been seen.
