MORE about dinosaurs

Well!

At the beginning of 2010, I wish you all a very happy new year!
As I said about myself, I want to travel around the world, and so I will. Next week I am flying to Peru and Bolivia for 5 weeks. With my backpack, my camera and my fresh eyes I will fill my head with wonderfull souvenirs. But before I go, I wanted to give you a little candy...

Dino Body has become Clash of the dinosaurs and it has been on TV in the United States a little before Christmas. Discovery Chanel posted 15 shorts of this documentary on this link:

Those videos are not quite long, but you can still view more of our work at Mokko.
We are very proud of the result.

But the best is still to come...
I can't wait to show you guys!

Dino Body

Hi everyone!

well, I look at my blog and... wow it's been a while since my last post!
But I have a pretty good reason.
For the last 9 months I've been working on a dinosaurs documentary as I said before. But in fact, it has been 2 projects back to back for the same client, Discovery Channel. So we didn't have much time between both of them.

The team worked really hard on both shows. I was mainly lighting on the first one, but on the second project I did many things. I worked for the layout department as well as FX and some previs animation. Now, at the end of the shows I am back to the lighting department.

I've been waiting for a while to show you some of my work. Finally Discovery put some footage on the net. So here is the first trailers of Dino Body:

I hope that the second project (that we are currently finishing) will soon be available too!

I am quite proud of the work we did.
Hope you will enjoy.

New job!

I have been working to Mokko Studio for a month by now.
I am lighting a show about dinosaurs for Discovery Chanel and I am learning a lot.
We use Maya 2009 and there is some new stuff there that are quite interesting.

I am still continuing another contract part time at home.
For this one i am doing the lipsync and facial animation for kids show.

All this is keeping me quite busy.

Modeling Bibo

Here is the first version of Bibo now in 3D.

He has no face for now because I am still thinking about it.

Any comments or suggestions for him would be appreciated.

First XSI animation

Well, I have just added a new card up my sleeve by learning XSI.
Here is my first animation.
A simple walk cycle to start.

Bibo

I made this little sculpture last week.

There is not much details on it, but it is only the second sculpture I made in my life.

Please be indulgent!

I have already start the modeling. I plan to post every step of the 3D creation of this creature.

Any comments will be appreciate!

Rovio

It has been a long time I know.

But here is my first job! yeah!

It was a short contract I did in june of 3 weeks at Twist Image. It's a web site company in Montreal, but each pictures or movies about rovio is in 3D. rovio is a sweet little robot you can meet at http://www.meetrovio.com/. The website has just been launch!

When I got there, the modeling, textures and lighting were already done by my first coworker Patrice Desrosiers (thanks pal!). All I did was some little touch up and all the animation.

It's not a lot by it was fun... and was my first job yeah!!!

enjoy!
