SteemAnimation: Arriving in Steem City - Level One Game Teaser

in steemanimation •  7 years ago 

Hi Steemians,

So, over the last couple of days, I have been busy working away on a new short animation. Keep reading after watching the link as there's a snazzy breakdown further down. The animation is part sketch, part 3d and a lot of creativity.

Turn your speakers on as there is some sound which will enhance the animation.

I've always been a lover of games, one in particular that stayed with me for many many years was Final Fantasy 7.

This isn't a game that is going to be made (unless someone out there loves the visuals enough =) ), it's just my attempt at creating the look inspired by all the visuals that have made a lasting impression.

Everything you see I created from scratch

The softwares I used were:

Cinema4D: to create the city scape
Keyshot Pro: to render, texture and light the cityscape
Photoshop: to create the sketch of the shit with everything inside
After Effects: to add all the motion graphics and colour grade.
Premiere Pro: adding the sound and title card.

Here's the breakdown:

City Scape Base (Cinema4d and Keyshot Pro) (Modelling, Lighting and Rendering):

Spaceship Outlines (Photoshop):

Painting the Solid Areas (Photoshop):

Combining Solids and Outlines - Base Spaceship Cockpit (Photoshop):

Step 4.png

Adding the Painted Dark Pilot (Photoshop):

Step 5.png

Painting in the Instrument Panels Base (Photoshop):

Adding the Details and Colour Grading (AfterEffects)(This is also where I animated everything):

Wow. This is amazing! A bit short but I do understand that animation requires a lot of time. Can I suggests you to put your steemit link in your YT description. This is to confirm that you own this work( you might earn bigger rewards if you do this). I think that's all. You're very talented man. Awesome. Keep it up! XD

Your friendly curator,
-lkp

What is the YT description? Apologies if I'm being super dense.
apologies for the shortness, it was just supposed to be a tiny teaser. Yes animation do take time, they break balls most of the time. Really glad you enjoyed it though.

He means Youtube :-)

Thanks cryptogee for clarifying. I want to submit it for curation earlier because I know that this is an excellent work. Someone else submitted it though. Congratulations man, this is really awesome! XD

P.S.
Sorry for the misunderstanding :)

No problem, it's good to check :-) Though I know @cryptocreative and I can personally vouch for him and all his content :-)

Hey, I have added the link to back to the steemit page on youtube as you said. Will get into the habit of doing this as I see what you mean.
Thanks for the advice btw and hope to amaze with my next animation.

Super awesome dude! I was drawn in straight away, I was waiting for the story to start :-)

Steem on my brother, Steem on!

Dude, as always, your comments give me a warm glowy fuzzy feeling inside =)

To the stars and beyond!!!!

Awesome, loved it! This could become a good episode or even a movie!!

Cheers dude! Much appreciated. It could become a good episode / movie or even full game teaser.

=)

If you need original music or some designing I’ll be glad to help

Dude, that's awesome! Are you an audio designer? Will definitely give you a chat on the next animation =). Good exposure for both of us hey? Also, one of the main issues I face generally when making personal animations / videos is that audio is always a bitch to find. I might also be able to hook you up professionally as the agencies I work at are always looking for good audio designers etc.

Yup. I am!! I have been doing it for a very long time. Like near 20 years. Keep me posted both ventures

Brilllllliiiiiiiaaaaaannnnntttttt!!!!!! Will definitely keep you posted.

wow

3 of the best letters! =) cheers!

Amazing work. Where do you get your vision from for these ideas?

Thanks! Glad you like it. My inspiration comes from games I played in the 90s and generally all the work I've done professionally.....that and time off from work =)

thanks @steemanmation for using @resteembot or I would have missed this.. you have a new follower also :)

thanks a lot for the support! much appreciated. =)

I am not a gamer but this would hook me.. lol

Looking good, I look forward to seeing the rest!

nice post

How wonderful it looks..!! Oh Goshh..!!! It is so splendid..!! Great Job..!! And yeah all the very best..!!!

Thanks for the love and really glad you enjoyed it. This just gives me more ammunition to do more animations for the viewing pleasure of the steemit community =)

Dude you should be super proud of that! I thought I was watching something you stole from BioShock or mass of fact because it’s so good!

That's really cool of you dude! Much appreciated.....gonna bring freakin tears to this animators eyes!!!!

Of course, credit where it is due! Nothing more rewarding than the recognition! I am a cinematographer so I know that feeling when someone sings your praises!!

you know it! =)

Hi. I am aspiring artist looking for critique on my own work. Would love for you to check it out and tell me what you think! (I do digital art that incorporates photography and photoshop) https://steemit.com/art/@rebeccamqamelo/digital-art-the-chaos-and-the-calm-3

I like how you used photoshop to create the "shi*" ....lol was it a lapsus ? cause I know it can get "freaking" fraustrating when rendering and cussing comes naturally...lol needless to say how appreciative your work is ... if you spend 1 minute in rendering anything... I bow to you as a king! :P

Cool :) I want see more :)

Glad you like it, working away on a level 2 animation. Just fleshing out the next stage in the story. Watch this space =)

Cool :) then I'm patient.

Nice work, need more !
Steem On ! 😃

Thank you! Working on it =)
Up up and awaaaayyyy!

It took me about 2.5 days to do this. The next installment will take a bit longer as we will already be in steem city and I'm still creating characters =)

My big thumb hit post just before I finished , I meant to finish my reply with THANKS FOR THE LOVE!!!! =)
