New Camera = New Possibilities!

Got a new camera off the bay this week, been messing around with it. First decent camera I've ever owned!


I set up a bag of water above a cake tin and punctured a hole in it so the water dripped down, it was pretty fun for my first piece of photography! I focused in on a pencil I dipped in the water exactly where the drip lands and locked the focus. It would have probably been impossible without it!

Post production was playing with the huge/saturation and levels in photo-shop, and I added a subtle vignette.

Thats all folks!

Viking Longship!

Made one of the assets that I'll be using in an animation planned for the near future.
I made it in 3Ds Max and textured using photoshop, It'll be used mainly in the background but
I can add extra details to the deck when if I plan for shots on the ship.


Now for the animation I need to make a beach environment plus about 10 or so vikings. I'll probably make 3 different generic's and just duplicate them with adjustments to beard colour etc, I may even make interchangable beard sets, that way I can duplicate them to around 20 to fill up the boat.

Ooo and I need some oars..

Working on storyboards at the mo, I'll post them on here when they're finished, then I'll make a reel out of them for the timing once I get voice acting complete.

Thats all for now!

Bleh.

No update for a long time! Lots of crap has been happening, but now I'm back on track. Got a hectic few months lined up ahead, should be good to feed some of the progress to my blog.

Thats it for now, nothing to show at the mo.
