Its'a me

Yo, I've almost got my work-station back together, and I really feel like doing another short of some form, so I thought I'd return to Clock Crew and give something a try.

I want to make it somewhat different though. For years, I've been stalling over producing Bananabeard in CG, and I've been getting nowhere, procrastinating, avoiding CG altogether.. What's certain though is I'm a billion-fold more confident in Maya than I am in Flash now, in terms of animation. I'd rather keep everything within Maya, which is why I've decided to try a 2D animation in Maya.

The technical setup would be quite similar, if not identical, to the way South Park is produced, but I intend the animation to be better. I'm going to look into forms of lighting and special effects also. I hope I can produce a short before the end of the year. I'll probably continue to use Flash however for designing art and such, maybe a little Photoshop too.

Didn't know where to post this thread, as its just me bragging about nothing, but here you go. I intend to hopefully produce something interesting. Once thats done, I'll start thinking about producing Bananabeard 3.

I'll also be back on my point and click game with Munglai too. As well as that, I'm doing a blog, record label and a few albums. Busy busy.

Did a very quick test in Maya... Testing simple motion blur, and animating the Z-depth..

It's good to see some of the outstanding talent return to the CC. It's nice to see you again, and I'll be looking forward to your work in the future.

Another test... Some visual distortion. This is something I'll want to put to use in Bananabeard III

Welcome back buddy

Are Gir and Maltese on your record label or was that another one of my fever dreams.

[koalaclock]

Last test. Hopefully you can see that if I manage to get a clock character animated in Maya, it'll feel totally different y'all :O
