[SebBadea]

@47mrcool: Hehee... thanks man! I thought nobody is watching C.I.D. anymore.

[xtoie]

XD Aw, poor robot.

[Joebo3]

fantastic work, I'm a computer animator myself and my work barely compares

[rockerfaerie]

Supremely inspiriational! You re extremely talented but that goes without saying :X There should be more comments it's a shame hahahah so many views I guess means a lot of lazeh viewers Anyway I hope that you keep animating I like the playfulness I really love how you were speaking about shamanism it made me go squish in my heart (as a song writer) I totally agree with you! :D Good job :X Keep it up :)

[SebBadea]

Thank you!

And thank you, that you get what I meant with the shamanism! :)

Don't worry, I'll keep on animating... every day. ;)

... and... : x

[AlfredTsaizer]

Great! Really inspirational!

Action feels very great!

ps: Animation (no MoCap) lol ;)

[SebBadea]

Jep! No Mocap. ;)

I had to point this out, because of the frequent questions.

Thanks for the props everyone!

[AlfredTsaizer]

Well the kind of questions might taken as a compliment ;)

But it would really hard to MoCap SUCH motion...))

By the way I plan to try and enroll in B-W FIlmakademie as an animator nex year. Is it hard to get accepted there? (Plus I'm a foreigner...)

And one more question... sorry for being curious, but how is you carier now - after the graduation? (it's been 3 years already as well as I can see)

[ralphquijano]

wow!this is realy something!

very nice!congratulations!

[whitescape]

i watch it over and over again :)

[3aLo0o0oy]

WoW .. nICE :)

[SebBadea]

To all: Thank you for those great crits!

[mwmoviemaker]

AWSEOME!!! what dose C.I.D stand for?

[SebBadea]

Thanks man! Actually, you're the first one asking! C.I.D. is the short for Circle In the Dust. This is a metaphor for storytelling by Ed Hooks: Story telling is shamanism. If the shamans in the old times drew a circle in the dust and gathered the whole village to tell them how to survive the winter, they should be able to show them more, than a beautyful drawn circle in the dust. C.I.D. is just meant to be a well drawn circle in the dust with just a little message. You get what I mean?

[undivided809]

what rig did you use on this?? was this biped?cat? or sumthing else?

[SebBadea]

This is simply a biped. Nothing special. A biped with linked bodyparts and just 3-4 skinned areas. You can see the making of soon on cgtalk!

[alialabsi]

[SebBadea]

Thank you guys!

[ovzoc]

Awesome...simply awesome! 5 stars!

[cubeoffat]

really nice movement and life to the character! thanks for sharing!

[migamiga06]

Sehr schön animiert! Auch vom Shading her finde ich es sehr schön!

[SebBadea]

Dankeschön! :) Aber die Blumen fürs shading gehen an den Tobias Meier für den Cyc und an den Alexander Kiesl für das Setting.

[DagMX]

amazing animation skills. I'm not sure on the modelling though, he seems a bit out of proportion in some of the close-ups, but maybe thats just me.

Animation was superb though. Reminds me a lot of the french thief in Oceans Twelve.

[SebBadea]

Well, he IS by intention out of proportion. So, that's us all. :) I gave him gigantic hands and feet, to emphasize what his existance is about: action, not acting. He doesn't think, combine or speak... so, there was no need for a big head. ;)

Same is for the length of the arms. Othervise his visor could have gotten in the way.

Thank you all for your great feedback!

Sebastian

[mandermcbutterpants]

[martok666]

[YPBALLER17]

thats my kinda style...love it

[SebBadea]

Thanks for the critics guys! Me 'appy seein' you lovin' it. :)

[YPBALLER17]

dude you have no idea how much i LOVE this...i actually dreamt about it...this is EXACTLY the style i wanted to do for my reel...you should be proud of yourself, you get a job with it yet??

[SebBadea]

Well, I've got a good job in a good company yet. There was no need to apply anywhere else. But I'm sure it becomes handy later on.

You haven't even seen a third of what I once planned to do. You'll find a small description in my thread on cgtalk.

Thanks again! I'm honoured... and a little bit proud, yes. :)

[GhostheadNebula]

Amazing :D

5 stars ;)

[adaku101]

Holy Cow!!! You did a great job on this!! Well done.

[martin8112]

Everytime i see work like this, it brings sadness in my heart.........because i can't do it(yet).

Great job man

[SebBadea]

I can just get the german version... and since this film is based on a comedy-sketch and therefore totally dialogue-driven, you woun't like it if you don't understand it. Anyway, in case you want to risk it, type KERNSEIF in the youtube-search and you should find it. :) Have fun

[SebBadea]

@Gurnislv

What do you think why I did it? ;) That's why it was more important for me to do this (for me) extremly fun-animation, instead of a complex story with depth and conflict, with more acting than action. I did an acting-animation before and at the end of the project I was sick of the limitations the character gave me. No need to ask, it was a turtle. ;)

Wanna see it?

Greets Seb

[redbytex]

Fantastic animation! Very fluid body movements.

[JacobeanTragedy]

Also followed the CG link. Excellent work Seb.

[SebBadea]

[flashawy]

[Gurnislv]

[SebBadea]

[irv1ng]

Hand-animated? Wow you are pretty good! I can feel the gravity of its body. Excellent!
