Long story short, REVIVAL was finished in late June 2011. So its been done for awhile now.
Here it is in all its glory. It turned out pretty good. Really pretty... low on story... :/
But Done!

My Thesis Chair unfortunately is having to step down from said position because hes moving back to Canada and leaving SCAD. Its unfortunate for two reasons.
1) Weather he realizes it or not, he has been a huge stress reliever and has made working on my thesis really easy.
and…
2) I have to find a new thesis chair. But no worries, it will get sorted.

This is a rough section of my thesis film with sound.

Gettin in the final FINAL stretch for my thesis film...
Thought you might like to see the Evolution of "The Control Room" from Animatic to Final Model. Its gone through quite a random set of looks, but thats my madness method.
I had a rough shape in my head from the beginning, it just took a bit of experimentation to find the right expression of that shape.zxephinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10635994530848129696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044553777742177244.post-3000005820974836882010-02-19T21:11:00.001-08:002010-02-19T21:11:15.954-08:00Pumpin stillBeen pumping away...
