Damien here, I've been modeling like some sort of crazy model making model machine. Any way here are some of the results.

Changes

During our last meeting we agreed to cut a few scenes from the film. Instead of the night scene cutting to morning, it will instead go straight to the scissors invading the apartment. Because of this, our roles and responsibilities have been swapped around.

Damien will be animating scenes 1-4, Caryn will be animating scenes 5-8 and Sascha will animate from scene 9 to the end.

Also, our beloved Pot Plant Creature has been cut from the story. His flowers and wide-eyed expression will be missed.

More Models by Damien




Here are the other models I have been working on. I'm pretty proud of all of them really. I'm gonna try and get a few more of the minor things we need done while I'm not doing the major blocking and such.

Lotus flower


Here is a quick render of the origami lotus flower. Very simple geometry about 100 poly. Occulision render. :)

CREDITS

Caryn will be animating Scenes 1, 2, 5, 6, & 7.
Damien will be animating Scenes 3, 4, 8, 9, & 10.
Sascha will be animating Scenes 11, 12, 13, & 14.

Hope this makes more sense.



I will be animating the beginning to the end of the title sequence, and the exterior scene Charlie discovers the first note on the line.

Damien will be animating the interior bathroom sequence until Charlie walks out onto the balcony with the toast, and the sequence starting with the first postcard to the end of the night.
Sascha will be animating from the morning until the credits.

I've volunteered to be the group Version Controller. At the moment I'm looking at ways to maximize file access.
