Cataloging the production process of MantisMedia
This is the final short film for my end of year production. It was essentially only 6 months all up of production (along with some other subjects). Still have to fix camera work, adding 2 extra shots for story harmony and errors ive noticed, but this is almost there. Updated Jan 2012.Ignition
Final assignment – most of this animation turned out relatively successful considering the time limit . 160 hrs approx including render time.
note: Didnt notice until finish but the intro animation of the cell has an interesting noise effect which can be seen inside the cell. This wasnt intentional, and is due to the final gather accuracy set too low – effect suits the look though.

Blogged assignment 3 for final assessment in semester 2.
Fun assignment – integrate cg (maya) with photo. The image used suited the ‘invasion’ theme, with the building on fire created a sense of chaos and destruction.
Layered pass output (Mental Ray) with basic blinn materials most of the work went into trying to make the cg look native to the scenery, which to some extent was successful. One thing that would have been fixed if time permitted was breaking up and reducing the specular and eccentricity of the surface of the invaders ship (to the right/top of larger ship)
This is done for uni assignment using hand drawn images and minimal motion to tell is simple story. Audio was recorded by myself with a mirantz kit – mics werent that great though. Put together in after effects – 200+ layers got a little confusing towards end. Musik was CC from sampleswap.org : ALIEn REd WOLf (We filled Nora) (suits perfectly – thanx)
