Mark Johnson - "CHOW BABY"

This stupid RC car is made so that it can flip over and keep running. Not particularly optimum for a camera dolly!!! I tried a RadioShack truck and it worked good but was two inches taller and you'd be amazed at how much junk hangs down underneath cars. In the future I think I'd look for a four-wheel RC that has four soft tires for stability and which I could modify with bumpers or something to protect the camera (this one did a face-plant into a wall once already)

SnakeMotionTest

This is a simple test of the snake's animated motion. The snake will follow a spline path drawn anywhere in the frame. I should note that the texture map applied to the snake is a proxy for convenience. The final model will have a UV-mapped texture with a bump map to bring out relief from the scales and other surface features.

Hey vis guy--

You should move all of your production stills and the video link to the first page of your Horror-fest thread. You can just edit your post there.

That way everyone can see the coolness
 
Was thinking about that but wasn't sure how to move stuff. Then remembered I could just edit the first post. THANKS.

Mark

EDIT 8/3 - Another user sent me a private message suggesting that most people prefer having new content added to the thread in chronological order rather than posting new content at the top of the thread and that those subscribing to a thread might miss new stuff otherwise.

Although I became a fan of S.O.A.P. early on, from what I can see it's major flaw may be an absence of hotties menaced by the serpents. Perhaps the sequel will be Snakes In a Strip Club. :)

They already do have snakes in strip clubs... trouser snakes.
 
looks great and like a lot of fun. :thumbsup:

are you gunna do a 24p conversion on the snake cam?
What conversion software do you like?
 
Jack,

I think DVFilmaker is pretty sweet for converting to 24P when you have footage that you want to maintain the same time duration. For this clip, though, I'm probably going to just deinterlace the frames in AfterEffects so I can mess with some motion filters to get something "snakey" looking. I'll then save out the footage at 24fps (which will slightly slow the timing of the clip) and bring it into the NLE. I don't mind (and, in fact, prefer the slowdown for the snake view) so I'm not going to do a true conversion.

Thanks for your note. Man, I think your REKINDLED project (and the graphics) is the bomb.
 
Hey, I bow to you, gOldenbOy. I pissed my pants when I saw your poster for Dark Identity. That chick is creepy. I cannot wait to see your finished production.
