Ciaran's Adventure (trueSpace 5 - 3D animation)

(NOW WITH ANNOTATION!!) A short animation I made for my friends birthday. It took 4 months to make. (and it shows I know). I made it using Truespace 5. I'm working on some better stuff, this is aimed at an audience of one really, just wanted to show something off though.

The plot, two dudes want to be the first to own a game when it is released at midnight, through a series of random events, they both lose it. To cut a long story short its loadsa stuff my mate liked when he was a kid (sonic and transformers, etc) and features Ciaran, a character he used to doodle at school. (About 8 years ago now).

The actual events of the mall sequence is just the kind of imagery that pops into my head while I listen to music. This track "Hocus Pocus" covered by the delightfully talented Vanessa Mae just seemed to conjures up this comic feud. So basically I made a music video. Yay! Anyway, I learnt a lot from this project. All this stuff (as you pros can probably tell) is self-taught. Sooner or later I'll get something else on here I'm sure. It'll be aimed at a larger audience though

Thank you for the good feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I did use a 'cell shading' technique, but it doesn't really show on this version, looks much better in DVD quality. I learnt a lot from doing this.

That is tremendous. I used TrueSpace way back when it first came out (before it even had animation capabilities), and really liked the interface. Nice job. This really represents a lot of work, and I hope it pays off for you.

Forgot to mention ..... I think your choice of music to this animation is spot-on and well worked into the story.

Brilliant stuff !! Many many hours work there, I know!! I especialy like all the HIDDEN JOKES and comments and stuff that can only really be seen and appreciated by hitting the pause. Have watched this many times and always spot something new !!
