We had some cool 3d meetings this week....
I was given some after effects tutorials so that I can view my videos with the basic anaglyph glasses.....very cool but much to learn.
I am but 5 shots from the 1rst chapters finish line....and working hard. I cant wait to pass that mental milestone guys.
In other news....I finished my Dirk sculpt and I have been documenting my sculpting-molding-foaming process on the future puppet. I will be posting on it in the future.

Oh man!! Great update. Can't wait to see more on the
Dirk sculpt. Post those process pics soon!
Hi Justin, great progress here. Dirk sculpt looks amazing. I am waiting for the replacement head post.
First line on the sand... wow, defining territories.. it sounds interesting.
Good luck for Ethan Marak's film SuperBattle. Its trailer is wonderful. SuperBattlemovie.com's link seems broken. It sends out to blogger page. Thanks for posting about this.
Ha Dirk was cool, I remember playing him in the arcade. Did you ever see Richard Vaucher's Barbaric Tale short film, it had some of Dirk's feeling to it (http://www.awntv.com/videos/a-barbaric-tale)
So for 3D do you have to work out lots of crazy maths to calculate the binocular distance miniaturized? Are there a lot of 3D festival's, or are you just forseeing that there will be soon?
keep rockin!
Awesome stuff!!!!
each time you post i get more excited about this project.
wicked sculpt of dirk. I love that you added the replacement face! so cool.
grats on the film's progress!
Great Super Battle trailer. Do you guys have any plans for a trailer or teaser? I must admit, I'm itching to see more animation. Wonderful work as always.
Your stuff looks great! Question on Dirk, do you sculpt each face separately or do you create a small cast of the face and modify it so you get the different looks you want?
Do you attach the face with a magnet?
Just wondering how the magic happens.
Thanks!
Font}Thanks- They are in progress and on there way.
Yaz}Thanks Yaz! yes...the new film has a great story...I am so excited!!
I fixed the links...
Alonso}yeah...Ive seen that before....not too bad.. it just doesnt have that MAGIC that The 2d pencil contains ....
yes...we have to do some simple math...but mainly I eyeball it.
make it look good is all I really care about.
and yes...there are 3d festivals....and more and more will be there when we ship!
Ryan}Hey man....thanks and nice to hear from you!
Mattson}thanks dood.....stay tuned!!...its a good ride.
Rich}thanks rich....Im excited about this puppet-TOY....he will look quite good running and jumping about.
John} Thanks man.....and Trailer -yes- ....we might not put it out there for a while...but you might get a peek..
one of the problems and great things about this film...is that I havnt had too many failed shots so far. So Im not posting as much animation...
good and bad I guess....ha!
Mexican Viking} exactly -yes- I will create a small cast of the face and modify it to get the different expressions.
Ill take lots of pics and post the process.
and yes to the Magnet too...
jriggity
Justin & Shel
What a great character, Dirk The Daring, must be really fun to animate it...awesome construction!
