TITLE: The Easy Way COUNTRY: Germany WEBPAGE: RENDERER USED: Ray dream Studio TOOLS USED: Premiere, Photoshop CREATION TIME: A few Weeks HARDWARE USED: Macintosh G3 PowerBook VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: This is a Macintosh-made Movie -> experience tells that PC-Monitors are darker. please adjust brightness accordingly ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: mind over brute force. wasnıt that all too obvious? i could not resist anyway. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: The modeler of Ray Dream is not the best for organic forms. all the tricks and how-toıs you can read in books do not work. so the farmer had to be held simple. the pig is in the movie solely out of sympathy (I like pigs ;) the sky is made with the 4elements plugin. The main focus (again) was to make a film that works not one that entails all the flashy tricks possible in ray dream (itıs not thaat bad ;) This is BTW my first movie with a walking character. ³[digital] character animation² by George Maestri was a big help (for anyone who hasnıt tackled this task sucessfully yet) Have fun and tell me what you think
