T-Rex or not to T-Rex

That was hideous. Seriously, who wears a blue shirt with brown pants? The cat was good, but I wasn't really feeling the dog. Gotta say the floppy wrist action was an interesting performance choice,. Not a bad choice, just,....interesting.

Thats one way to motivate him to jog.

awes...

[danomitedaniel]

thats were my pet went thanks for finding him

[Karagianis]

Yeah, they look so cute and fluffy when they're young, but when they grow up they take a LOT of looking after. No one's ever managed to house train one either.

it lacks shadow...anyway.... CAN I HAVE THAT GIFT????????

[evilproducer01]

@charesmagnuelle, I either didn't know I had a shadow catcher or the version of Carrara 5 I used didn't have it. I tried to fake a shadow with a Photoshop layer that I keyframed and resized over time in Final Cut Pro.

@evilproducer01 Anyway i love to watch this, i replayed it all the time, can you make a tutorial on making an animation like this? :D

[CatharticusX]

Thank you. My 3yo is no longer insisting that she wants a pet dinosaur for her birthday. ("Oh, no sweetie. He just ate a huge jelly donut and made a Great Big Mess.")

[cosbusta]

"I thought he would like a dino for his birthday"

Amazing !

[warlerker]

Send me the link to download that program to me in a message :D

[fearsomemaiden]

Looks like the back legs could be a bit thicker, but the rest is pretty good. ^^

[beelerman31597]

dude can you tell me how you did that shit thats cool

[evilproducer01]

I used Carrara 5 to render the dinosaur. I didn't have the pluggin to allow me to bring in the dino with it's rigging, so I rigged it myself and hand animated a walk cycle and other aspects. I rendered the dino with an alpha channel background and composited in Apple's Final Cut Pro. I used image masks for the garage so that it looked like it was behind it, and a photoshop layer to fake a shadow. Music and sound f/x were done in Soundtrack. Model of dino by DAZ 3D. Hope this helps! ;)

run fat boy run

[evilproducer01]

That's Mr. Fat Boy, to you! :)

[demonshrieker]

Good job! I like the music lol

[evilproducer01]

Thanks for the feedback! I "composed" it myself in Soundtrack. I wanted it to be reminiscent of the old Ray Harryhausen flicks.

[evilproducer01]

If anybody else has anything they wish to add, go right ahead!

Feedback is good.

[WyethDigital]

Give our latest a couple of more days, and I'll post this on our channel.

[WyethDigital]

Awesome job. Scary monster eat redneck. Chomp!

Remind me to tell you the secret on how to keep the picture from being squashed down (don't export directly from FCP)

[evilproducer01]

I actually saved it as a .mov from my iPod version. I don't think it really squashed it that badly.

[WyethDigital]

No, it didn't. But if you use the MP4 export settings in Quicktime, or use a program like MPEG Streamclip you can avoid the effect altogether.
