my lonely friend - photo-realistic 2.5D animation

[NinhPianoAndArt]

There's boogers dripping out of her eye.

[keelieshay1]

ok i don't understand is the girl animated?

[PETERFELIX]

looks like milk in her eye; thats not new :) it´s an old bussines

[elementz1986]

I wonder if video games will look this realistic in the future?

[Anticlimaximum777]

Amazing, man! 

[ImSoOffended]

I liked the jerky camera, made it look all the more real.

[wiezzanggeni]

Did you use 'pixel motion'?

[SOR4]

Good slide show of multiple-shot photos. I remember that technique from "The matrix" film. How long it took you to arrange all the cameras around that girl?

[marc666weed]

nice 

[StudioVoxel]

Nice :) One thing though, the projection mapping, especially when up close to the face, I thought, would benefit with a little more angular movement with a more detailed geometry being projected on. That way when it moves you'd go WOW! Very nice, though. Love the music.

[dyemzone]

hi could you explain what really is 2.5 d and how it works? is like a stop motion animation using a motion controlled camera?

[effedieffedi]

Ahahah Simpatico !!!! Per un attimo ho pensato che fosse vero :) Complimenti per l'idea cmq :)

[CK3yOn3]

ists so amazing

[FranEdiciones]

cool

[Whallean88]

awesome. I would never be able to do this with my current skill

[videos12344444444]

but this isn´t a 2.5 d effect.... this is other technic.

[barisk1986]

Displacement Map?

[artkazun]

@barisk1986

no, it is not :)

[pabletediaz]

<FAKE

[Sebal007]

Very nice, but sometimes parts of the Girl are stretched and squeezed.

You said its no 3d, so you took multiple images with Shape Blending?(would explain the small deformations)

[artkazun]

@Sebal007: these are compression artifacts. you can watch it on my web site in much better quality.

[RossHilyard]

simply amazing

[CRAZYCRAZYKEITH]

she is crying because she couldn't be 3d

[cristian1998power]

very cool video...i wonder what program is used

[BMTH102397]

wow thats an animation im imprest

[mmn857]

probably the same technique made popular by the "bullet time" effect in the matrix, a series cameras mounted on a circle shaped rail taking all taking a shot simultaneously.

[PushTheYellowOne]

is this drawn

[dosealas]

id assume its pictures morphing into each other..if you watch closely you can see the keyframes...also giving some camera motion....the background has been animated separately...i dont want to talk about the material that was dripping from the eyes:))

[21EC]

wth im shocked

that women must be a real women and not a 3d model

[matheuskrg1]

fake 2.5d

[Axel31]

she should have her eyes checked ;D awesome work

[shivayavoda]

the scene with the eye was freaking great!

[noahblue2010]

this cant be a stil image... u can see where it shows more and more of her hair at the start of the video

[Ganthir]

I don't think she'll ever buy that brand of contacts again..

[BrokenAirr]

Best 3D Video ever made, this should be a hit, This is so realistic, This must have taken a very long time, How long was it ?

[artkazun]

@BrokenAirr: well, it took me a long time to come to this result. just mentioning, this is not a 3D, it only appears like that.

[LittleBrittle360]

whats 2.5d? is it making something 2d look 3d? like a bunch of pics of the chick compiled together to make a 3d model? so its not full 3d like wire frame n stuff?

[LoverOkofKitty]

the eye thing was gross but good work

[baphometstech]

Guys, its an animated still, andrew kramer has a tutorial on this. Its not as simple as you'd think, but basically it involves animating the background than the subject, as well as having multiple images. Its a nice effect.

[sjchavez83]

This video is amazing!! However, trying to hide your technique for production is sadly the way you give your pathetic ego a boost? Needed to be said, sorry!

[Sup3rJrek]

watch..in the future, our eyes are going to be our worst deceivers...i deny this to be an animation!!! :'(

[Anton1987RU]

this is fake 0:00 - 0:42!  Other is a 3d!

[emerexxx]

This is amazing!

If the girl is a still image, how did you make her appear to be 3D?

Did you make two photos of her- one from the front and one of her profile and combine them in AE?

[artkazun]

@emerexxx : I wouldn't like to talk about the technique I used.

thank you for your understanding.

[LtStamenn]

SLICK!!!!! Well done.

[n2hung]

amazing but i don't understand: how is 2.5d. this video like you use the camera

[ArnoldVeeman]

very impressive

[orionpk]

amazing

[tpw3344]

great video ever !

and nice song :D

I agree with superhappeefun...it's epic...

My lonely friend....

[KCwellard]

This is inspiring? Jesus chris people, it's a girl standing there, weird shit coming from her eye, and then a mannequin.

It's not thought provoking and the '2.5D' just looks 3D.

Um... thumbs up for effort.

[AmINotAllowedOrSomet]

@KCwellard You obviously have no understanding whatsoever of 2D, 3D and Art in general.

[KCwellard]

@AmINotAllowedOrSomet haha if this is art then I'm happy being a philistine.

[AmINotAllowedOrSomet]

@KCwellard I don't see the connection :)

[Cyclopher]

Amazing!

[Anarchistificationer]

You deserve much more attention for your work. This is inspiring.

[artkazun]

Word! :D

[10GreenDay01]

this is isn't 3d, its a regular person

[xxxSNAPExxx]

so it actually is 3d....

[silverface125]

lol.. that makes it 3d

[artkazun]

it is a 2.5D animation. please read the title.

it appears to be 3D, when in fact it is not.

no 3D program was used.

[10GreenDay01]

[PaulinoAuyon]
