CG Character Animation Short Film Comedy - Online Development Diary

Autodesk 3December Presentation

This is a presentation about the making of our CG Short Film, 'Devils, Angels & Dating'. It was put on at Autodesk's 3December event in Austin's Alamo Drafthouse Cinema to an audience of the local 3D community. Many thanks need to go to Shane Davis for recording the event, Brad Clark for organizing it and Bill Bottorff of Austin Business Computers for supporting the event.

Topics covered include:
Building a community
Attracting talent
What not to do
Funding
Un-assigning team mates
...and why the characters have no legs!

It also includes the teaser trailer and a few words from from our international team members.

Comment by Rafael San Gregorio on December 8, 2010 at 2:53pm: haha Shane :D

Great presentation by the way, too sad you had to speed up to finish on time :(

Comment by Michael Cawood - Director on December 8, 2010 at 3:19pm: It's all fine. YouTube only lets you put 15 minutes up on normal accounts anyway so this was more than enough. I could easily have doubled the length if there was time but then it would have been two videos.

Thanks for the compliments, and ... Shane the camera work was fine. Getting the video compression to work with the darkness was the tricky part.
