Do
Not Animate Ever Again!
Well then my friends. Animating "things"
is finished. Now one more... actualy two more things to go, Light
& Cameras. I'm not push hard on this lighting proccess because
I do not know lighting well... But what the hell let's try what
3DSMax can't do. Or let's try what "I" can't do.
I wanted not too much illumination inside of the
room. But when AJ breaks door open, there should be light illuminate
inside that coming from outside. Hmmm... how about a volumetric
light that? Wow that looks great... even it makes rendering time
take 3 times longer... it looks cool. Now... how about adding
smoke and little dust particles fly in the air as volume light
illuminating them? Oh just kidding. That's juts too... Anyway.
Lets over it. Because I think I'll spend SOME time on Cameras.
Camera placement and movement is one of the most
important thing. I've done best that I can to capture the best
action. I tried make it look like Hong-Kong Action Movies. John
Woo movies especialy. :) Also, I've applied "Depth-of-Field"
on a scene where AJ aim his pistol to camera. Everyone is familiar
to that effect right? You know, camera just focus on one object
and other objects that out of focus range will be blurred. I really
liked this effect but it takes too much time to render it. It
takes 3 hours for 40 frames. But I used it on that scene anyway.
After all the rendering completed, it is time composite
these rendered frames. I didn't rendered whole animation. I divided
it 20 cut, then rendered every cut to bmp frames. By the way it
took around 14-16 hours. Then I imported these frame sequences
to Adobe Premiere to add sound affects and edit the animation.
Some sound effects, I couldn't find on internet so I made some
of that myself. It was really funny. For these falling boxes,
I've used a real cartoon box. I throw it on wall and... actually
I've made my mom throw the cartoon box on the wall so I could
record the sound. :) For the dropped pistol sound, I've used my
real Desert Eagle... Ok ok I used my TV's remote controller for
it. I dropped it over my monitor and record it. It sounds like
a pistol. Or is it? I think nobody will say "oh! that was
a remote controller!" to me. :)
