Hello everyone!
I`m glad to represent you my short movie, I`ve been working on since the beginning of 2010 till 07.05.2012 when I`ve added final sound track.
The idea appeared in 2009 when I drew first sketch of Sam (character with the ball). After two shots: "in the Cinema" and "Fishing is boring" I decided to create a movie.
At the beginning I was calling characters: Small toy and Big toy - later Sam & Bob.
For those who started to create movies by they own. Just want to say: the hardest for me was not to forget modeling when you animating, and animation while you rendering. So good luck :)
Almost all work was done in XSI, some stuff in ZBrush (frog, for example). I`ve started in XSI ver. 7.01 and finished in 2012 SAP.
The movie has 4444 frames (probably by accident :)
Every frame is a combination of more than 5 passes. Then glued together in Fx Tree and Fusion.
The biggest scene is 90 mb large.
The longest pass - shadow pass - near 30 min, sure plus 15 min to all the other 4-7 (passes). And we have 40-50 min for final frame :)
So, I hope you`ll like it! :) Thank you!
