Exam Project

[Pelle]

Hi,

Since I'm in my last year of my Multimedia education, I had to came up with my own project.

This video is the result, it is mainly intended for people who don't know anything about mantids.

>>

My english and voice sucks, so you can always turn off the sound

I didn't have a lot of time for it, so if something isn't right. Don't shoot me

It is made in 3Ds Max and rendered with Vray.

Some stills from the movie

The grasshopper and fly in wireframe

The bones to animate the mesh

Some 'helpers' to help with the animations

The CD cover and the label

Today I had my presentation and it was OK

 

[Kruszakus]

Kewl man, that was actualy pretty nice

Now go watch The Shield as I told you to

 

[Hypoponera]

Very nicely done Pim! Your English and voice/accent are no worse then mine. And English is my primary language!

 

[Rick]

Very nice. I like your voice.

 

[Kruszakus]

Very nicely done Pim! Your English and voice/accent are no worse then mine. And English is my primary language!

What about them Cockney guys? Their language is English, yet you can't understand a thing when they speak!

Kinda the same in Poland - people deeply rooted in Silesia's tradition are impossible to understand by me, and I live about only 300 kilometers from Silesia

I think you did an excellent job on the video, Pelle! Thanks for letting us see.

 

[Pelle]

@ Kruszakus

Thanks for the nice comments! @ Kruszakus

But The Shield has way to much seasons

It took me 3 weeks to download and see all episodes - it ain't that bad!

 

[PhilinYuma]

Very nicely done!

 

[revmdn]

Great job.

 

[yen_saw]

Wonderful work Pim. You will ace the project!

Your English is great! I have deal with quite a few Dutch in my project before they all speak fluent english. Great job

 

[Anleoflippy]

[Pelle]

Thanks!

[Peter Clausen]

Excellent topic choice and thanks for sharing it with us! I especially liked how many scenes began with a search through the background foliage and ended up focusing on the subject. And the ending was fun!

Has anybody else seen the Mantis Parable? It is one of my all-time favorite shorts:

Sound and graphics are absolutely beautiful!

Here is the link to the artist's website. The video link above was to YouTube. I'm not sure he wanted it there:

Also, all the stuff by Minuscule is wonderful. You can search for their stuff on YouTube too, for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdbrZDAOg9Q

Great job! I liked the voiceover but for some reason I couldn't get the volume much above low.

 

[Pelle]

Thanks again

I didn't know it was on youtube, I did visit the site a few times..

Very cool, but I'm far away from such animation skills

Great job! I liked the voiceover but for some reason I couldn't get the volume much above low.

Hmm yes, I recorded it with a crappy mic.. Didn't have enough time to fix it.
