3D animatic with Cyrille Caron
The next step in our project was the 3D animatic. We had 2 weeks to block out the sets, characters, layout and cameras with the help from Cyrille Caron.
It was really fun and Cyrille was very helpful.

Back in school and Trailer Project
We have finally started school again and we have a Trailer Project that will run untill december 2010.
The assignment is to re art-direct the movie and make a trailer in 3d. My group have been given the french movie Jules ét Jim.
“Jules and Jim” is about two guys, whose friendship is put to the test when they both fall in love with Catherine. In the beginning all was well, Jules marries Catherine and Jim promises to keep his hands off of her. Everything changes when they all reunite after WW1 where Jules and Jim fought on opposite sides. Jules and Catherine’s marriage is now falling apart, and in attempt to keep Catherine in his life Jules asks Jim to become her lover. However after a while Jim rejects her and she becomes desperate. When she realizes that she will never have Jim, she drives them both into the water. (And they drown)
Our analyzis of the 3 characters:
We have chosen to make it an action movie and have turned the characters in to insects. In our analyzis of the 3 main characters we found that Catherine was very similar to the female insects.
The first two weeks we had character design/concept and storyboarding. Our teachers were Uwe Heidschötter and Christian Puille.
I mostly did storyboarding though i would have loved to do some character design. However it just wasn't my week but luckily Nikki and Martin from my group had better luck with that.
It was a great start and we had so much fun and generally a very good mood in the class. Both teachers are very talented and are so nice.

Our analyzis of the 3 characters:
Catherine: Dominant, attention seeking, selfish, drama queen, manipulating, control freak.
Catherine is naïve and dominant. She thinks that she can have it all, and she has many men caught up in her web.
Jules: grey, queer, introvert, heavy, goofy, reasonable, dependent, forgiving, naïve, self-destructing, weak.
In the beginning Jules is a cheerful and happy guy, but as time goes on he gets addicted to Catherine and he becomes more and more concerned about losing her and their child.
Jim: Proud, French, self-secure, outgoing, selfish, player, strong.
Jim changes character as his and Jules friendship is at risk. Throughout the story Jim gets more mature in his decisions as he realizes, that his and Catherine’s relationship can’t work, as he will never get her for himself.

Summer 2010
It's been a while since i've last updated my blog. I've haven't been in school for so long. However we start up again on monday and i just can't wait! In my opinion the summer holiday has been a bit too long.
I've recently started making jewelry again. I haven't really been drawing that much to be honest.
I've also made a set of invitations for my mothers birthday in september. It doesn't show here in the photo but the paper with the printet text has an iridescent shine to it. The white butterfly is also covered in iridescent glitter.
I spent a lot of my summer at home with my parents so i haven't really touched a computer for 2 months! However i had some great days in the wonderful sun at the beach and spent time with some of all the friends from Copenhagen that i've neglected since i've started school.
Also it was great to see my to beloved cats again :) Here's Mille sleeping.

Exam 2010
Our exam this year is to choose one of the 5 given characters and model a bust of it. We will be judged in the translation from 2D to 3D and the ability to retain the character of the 2D concept. Also on the topology and ability to detail the character.
I've chosen to model the mother.
We wern't suppost to texture the model but i couldn't help myself :) I'm not completely satisfied with the result but i don't have the time to remake it. I think the mouth in my model is a little too big and the teeth are too small compared to the original drawing.
Besides the model we were given an written assignmetn and suppost to make a showreel. I will update this post when i've gotten my "grade" on Monday.

Peter Chan
The last week of school before the exam was Concept Design with Peter Chan. This was one of the best weeks of the year. He checked out our blogs and learned all of our names before having us. How cool is that!
We had a lot of repetition of the things we learned with Lawrence and it was really nice. Words can't explain how awesome Peter Chan is..
Our assignment was to make a concept with to given references and 1 or 3 references we found on our own. We were to make a character, creature and environment. In the end we were going to have a drawing of an event that showed a story. I have so much more to learn.
These two images were my references from Peter:
My idea was to make a desert like alien planet with robot creatures and destroyed cities. Peter really made us try to do something we find difficult and since i never draw techinal stuff i thought i should try it. However i didn't really succeed but at least i know what to do to fix it!
My event was that two characters had fallen into a pit and the parasite creatures were coming to get them. The parasites would live off the mechanical characters and then turn into butterfly like creatures.
If you try to google Peter Chan you will find a lot of art and that is not the Peter we had. Peter doesn't upload anything to the internet. He dean't even have a mobile phone.
However i have found a bit of his work for Brütal Legend.
