3D Animation: A Pixar-like Animation

27 03 2009

3-27-2009-9-17-09-amAnother Multimedia project for 7th semester in my class is the 3D animation project from Tanto’s team. They decided to do a 3D animation using Maya Learning Edition. The team consists of:

Tanto Winarko

Henry Kho

Adrian Khrisna

This is their comment about the project:

“This short animation movie was made using Maya Learning Edition which is a very powerful software to create such an animation movie. The team needs much time to learn and practice. Certainly, the learning edition is not as good as the enterprise one. Because of this project is for assignment purpose only, using learning edition is enough.
The project was a benefit since the project team gain addition knowledge on how to animate a simple clip.

The process of making this project is anything but easy. The team first tried how to create an object, apply downloaded objects and manipulate or add some features to the object. The most difficult is how to add the character of an objcet.

If u see the movie, the object lacks of characters and hard to be recognized what he is doing.

After all objects have been collected, its time to animate them. This phase is the most interesting part for creating the animation. It’s hilarious the way we animate them with strange movement according to the story was meant to be.

However, we stumble a problem because of insufficient time of the project deadline. We didn’t have the time to make a decent background image and decided to just make the background white.

What sucks about using Maya Learning Edition is that you will see a watermark image of Maya logo and it is quite a bother. We used playblast for rendering the video and used adobe premiere to collect clips and touch up the video clip.”

Anime Best Couple: Tomoya Okazaki & Nagisa Furukawa From Clannad

27 03 2009

tonagThis is actually a hard decision since romance anime is the kind of anime that I seldomly watch. Anyway, kudos for Tomoya Okazaki & Nagisa Furukawa for being the best anime couple among other romance anime. It was very hard to decide since the competitor of this couple are from ef and True Tears.

However, I decided to give the trophy to them since they have shown long-lasting romance through out the season. Clannad ~After Story~ was a heart-wrenching story and made me more convinced that these two people are inseparable. By the way, my soul was shattered and screaming in agonizing watching this anime (what a hiperbolism….).

Anyway, Key has many decent romance or harem anime such as Air or Kanon, and Clannad is one of their best works so far. I really wanted to tell you more about this couple but that just giving you the spoiler and I might be murdered by the people who are anti-spoiler (particularly Richky Lie, a classmate of mine, who demand that I do my Clannad project at home instead in the class).

So, in honor to their greatness in bringing a great romance anime, I decided to do project Clannad, which is making a video clip of them. It was an excrutiating experience since this video clip was late 5 days than it was meant to be. The reason was that my Windows Vista was not compatible for Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Premiere Elements. So, I had to migrate the project to Windows XP which is such a hassle. Thankfully the project was done successfully.

I chose Nana Mizuki’s “Naked Feels” as my theme song since it is very fitting to the theme (romance, that is). You can download the song somewhere in my previous post, just look for it. Anyway, here’s the video I uploaded and enjoy my amateurly built video clip.
