Title: production crew
Notes: its time for some making of stuff.

here you can see our production crew^^

Tin, our final actor in the middle, we had some other canidates but tin's performance was just the best, however the other robots stayed on the set for audio recording and as cable guys.

to the right of tin we first have christian, then simon
and to the left of tin first Chris, then myself.

we really had a nice time on the set, shooting came out easier then planned and apart from the little incident with the elephant were no further problems.
even the coals were depleted just in time ;)

Title: scene
Notes: Hi folks!



I thought it would be nice to show you one of our first scenes,

so that you can see what we are aiming for.

You could say we entered the hot phase and the whole team hasn't really slept in days...

i think you all know what i am talking about...



by the way... this would be a good chance to introduce our team, eh?



1. Martin K?hler (the guy that posted all the crazy stuff before, is what you would call our "Art Director")

2. Chris Hempel ("The Mean Animating Machine")

3. Simon Prager ("Winner Of The Poly Award")

4. Christian Stadach ("That's me")



Don't take the nicknames to serious... In reality it turned out to be the "Everyone does

everything" way.



Enough talk!

Here is the link to our animation preview:



right-click... save target as



Let us know what you think! And don't hesitate to critisize our work!

Even though we won't have the time to change too much...



May the best pixel junkie win this awesome contest!



Best to you,



Cmdr. Pi

Title: lot of work
Notes: It's time to tell you about our idea.

We have choosen the myth of Atlantis and want to show you the truth about it's sinking.
The little robot we are modeling atm is our main character and, of course, will play his role in this tragic happening ;)

Our plan is to finish most of the geometry within the next two weeks. Which means tons of pipes, valves, furniture
and some of the exterior of our atlantis itself. Hopefully we are able to manage this in time, because our exams are in sight
and there are still some study projects running.

We hope you liked the first few images! And of course soon we will upload more ;)
