Storm Project |
 |
|
A three minute promotional video that brings together complex 3D animation with story boarding and sound design. This project, as with all other animations started life as a series of hand drawn sequential pictures collectively known as a story board. This enables quick and efficient planning of scenes in the animation, detailing the flow from one shot to another. |

Once the story board had been finalised, the long process of modeling, texturing and lighting began. This involved the detailed three dimensional creation of the ship, the harbour, the ocean, the rescue helicopter and the characters. The large scale of this project required the use of several software suites working in parallel. 3D Studio Max provided the modeling, animating and rendering capabilities, whilst Photoshop was used for texture creation. The final video and audio compilation was realised through Adobe Premiere, where all the independently rendered tracks were layered together. |
These modeling techniques provide a universal method for creating scenes and objects to a high degree of realism, that would otherwise prove too difficult or impossible to photograph or film. Therefore these same methods are also used to create high quality still images for posters, web pages and publications. |

The gallery displayed here shows images from different stages during development, from object wire frame modeling, to completed scenes. The screen shots from the final film show the high levels of realism that can be achieved when these separately created components are blended together. Click on the images for more information. |
