Juicy – 3d Animation Reel

07 May

This is my first proper 3d animation video, made using Maya, Photoshop and After Effects. The video is a take on the very famous ‘Desperate Housewives Season 2 Promo – Juicy’ and has been inspired by a number of sources – characters like Catwoman and Poison Ivy and various music videos. Its cheesy and corny, and hopefully shows the skills I’ve got in using different programs. Visit my website for more info: www.rafis.co.nz Music: Juicy by Better Than Ezra Album: Before the Robots Record: Artemis Records 2005 *This video is copyright Rafi S 2007 and has been created by Rafi Sengupta* *Music edit based on Desperate Housewives Juicy Season 2 Promo*

3D Stereoscopic Mountain Stream, Stormy Sea and UK Snow clips

07 May

These are some test clips done with my new XDCAM EX 3D side by side camera rig. The video here is an anaglyph so dig out those Red-Cyan Glasses to view these clips in 3D. I will be filming more natural wonders throughout the year. Next week I will be in the Arctic filming the Northern Lights, then it’s off to Iceland to film the geysers and Glaciers and in the spring I will attempt to film a Tornado in 3D.

During my visit to Pixar Animation Studios in March, I got to interview Stereoscopic Supervisor, Bob Whitehill who describes himself as the person who gives you a headache when you watch 3d movies. He then went onto explain that hopefully, if he’s done his job right, you shouldn’t be experiencing that headache when watching one of his movies. He talks to us in depth about working with 3d in Toy Story 3. Please note, some small spoilers are mentioned during the interview.

This is rather nifty. It’s an animation done to some music, by a company called Animusic (www.animusic.com). The song for this one isn’t as cheesy as most of the other videos they’ve done (though it’s still a little cheesy).
