More like Saint-like. This work is truly above and WAY beyond the call of duty.
Amazing, amazing work.
I'm based in London and have never heard about this. (I really need to get a life.)
You're way too kind Shabazzy, but it is appreciated, thank you! Having fun with something I love is a gift to me, and it's great that others are enjoying it! I'd never have started it if my sister hadn't dragged me into her acting endevours. Regarding getting a life... us 3d/animator types are real shut ins for the most part (reminds me of the funny meme of the animators tan... as in, we don't have one!). So if I hadn't been dragged into it, I wouldn't be doing it... so I have a lot to thank her and the theatre group for really.
On a side note, I actually did another piece for them. Nothing major, but it was fun! It was a pantomime (which I normally don't like) called Pirates. So I wrote a piece of music and animated to it. It worked really well! I've got some videos of it, I'll post them below. It isn't much to look at in it's original form, but projected, it really looked great... the cameras don't do it justice. (Don't mention the floating bit of bone I forgot to weight map on the knee! You never noticed it on stage ...so got away with that one !
And here is what it looked like on stage...
Actualy, this was a fun project on a lot of fronts... I ended up making all the pirates sword props, as well as painting the backdrop (also designed in Lightwave in an evening which I then projected on to the canvas). Me and the missus painted it over a couple of very long nights! Fun stuff.
Oh, and we did go in and paint the ship deck... we ran out of time while doing it at home to transport it there. It was about 8-10 foot tall and double that wide. That was a serious amount of painting! Can't believe me managed it to be honest. Never done that before, but it came out great... the missus is a talented painter though, so that helped a lot.
For the actual performance, I ended up on curtain opening/closing duty, and i'll tell you that this was the most stressful part of the whole thing! It's quite a responsibility to get right. But I only messed up slightly once, so not bad for a first time.
Anyways, there you go... stuff and adventures lol.
