Hi dvanderpol, Thanks for the comment. I have done a fair number of commercials using this method and I find that its really conducive to that rapid kind of production. True, you have to take it to the POSING/OVERLAP stage before showing the client as they would run for the hills if you showed only root blocking. But this piece was created in only 20 hours, 50% of that being lipsync and polish. So even if you get re-takes you can still use this method to quickly work through them.
Great vid on 3D animation...IF you work in FILM. If you work in commercials, like me, where there is absolutely NO time to do this approach where you are often required to bang out a shot in a few hours, OR your client comes back with "I don't like it", or "Its not what we want", or "Why is it taking so long?"...then this method is pretty useless in production. Bottom line, do this methodology to get better with your own personal projects. Great clip though, just wish I could use it at work.
Is it okay to use the characters that come with this tutorial in a student demo reel? I bought the magazine (3D World issue 117 and 118) and would love to use these characters for my upcoming demo reel. Thanks and great tutorial!!!
