That was AMAZING :) If it took you six months to do how long would it take you do a feature ?? Honestly you do really great work . Can't wait to see more
Thanks all for nice compliments. @ Onyx London - it took 6 months. yes I know it took pretty long, but I have done whole things myself, that's why it took so long. I just wish there is a good chance to make a real one soon :)
Would love to screen this at the festival I program in DC. If interested, please inbox me for details and a fee waiver. I'm really pushing for a higher presence of animated works.
@Anthony Hey Anthony. This project has stopped with financial issue : / This trailer is all I have for now. If you are still interested in this trailer for your festival, send me email to danielkim3d@gmail.com Thanks :)
Hi Beka. I didn't make this movie for promotion. I am working on another movie for real short animation, so maybe next time :) Thank you for the nice compliment
Hi Annie. Yes. I designed the middle guy myself, and gave a lot guideline to concept designer for the lady and gentleman. Basically I made the middle guy first, then used it as template for rest characters.
Why did you use a Windows (Softimage) program and then a Maya Program (Arnold Render) which seems like a rendering program. Is this a better way to do animation ...use a program to build the character and then render the characters with another program. I am a Apple MAC person. I can use Maya programs but not ones only made for Windows. This is why I am curious. Thank you for taking the time to get back to me. You deserve a lot of compliments ...it is simple and wonderfully done as well as not an easy task.
Hey Annie. Softimage is just like Maya. It is 3D software. And Arnold Render is professional renderer. Because of it's high quality and easy to manipulate details, I chose this pipeline Softimage+Arnold. A lot of film production also work with Arnold + Maya, or Arnold + Softimage too. I have iMac, so I use both mac os x and windows 7, but for all 3D works, I do with windows7, because it simply has a lot better softwares and integration.
Hi Daniel ...just to let you know. I work in Flash and I love it. I do all of my own art, all the timeline animation and some of the action scripting. I made an animation game for cancer patients while I was going through treatments for breast cancer. Looking at what you have done inspires me to learn programs such as soft image. Thank you again ...Annie
Hello Daniel, Hope you feel you could go somewhere with this. Just keep sharing! Are there any productions for which you could use original music at the moment? Thanks for your time. Cheers, Niels.
Hi Niels. Thank you for the post. I am currently working for a game as game director right now. I will need BG music in near future, but I'm not sure when. Maybe one or two months later, but I will send you email when I start looking for. Thanks
I see! Afterwards one wonders if that was obvious :-) Then again I don't completely feel along with the b(ack) part. But hey, it's just an expression of course!
Do you do animation for other writers? I write children's stories, and some, I believe, would be suitable for animation. Trying to get them into book form for publishing at the moment.
Hi Janet. Thank you for the all nice compliments. I had several chances to make animation with children's book, but it didn't go well because of financial stuff. What kind of story do you have and what is your plan? If you send me email with detailed info, that would be great :)
Thank you Daniel, where can I find your email? I write classical fairy tale style on some. My descriptions are very descriptive, making it easy to know where to place the illustration.
Wow. Well done! Very inspirational to know that you basically created this yourself from scratch. I know you said it took four months to make this, but out of curiosity how many hours did you put in? Full time/part time, etc? And also, how long did it take you to learn Softimage and the other programs and were you self-taught or did you go to school? I ask because I am learning animation from scratch (3 months in so far) and it's a fun learning curve but a bit steep. Thanks and again, great job.
Hi Chad. Thank you for nice compliment. I worked in office for it, so I spent 8 hours a day. In case of Softimage, I don't think it doesn't take long. I have been using Softimage since Softimage|3D, so I don't remember how long it took. I have 3 artists in my team now and they all switched their tool from Maya or Max to Softimage with Arnold render, and it didn't take longer than 2 months to train them all pipelines.
Hi Claudio, I will send you email when I need a male voice actor. Hi Janet. How are you doing? One of my voice actress friend in Canada is helping me for proofreading now :) I was busy, so couldn't not handle my personal project, but it is time to push it to finish ;)
Add that to your 'Reel' here! (you don't have to load it up here, just use the URL, see my profile for examples, though all mine are on YouTube I think at this time)
Again this post???? This is something like the 4th time you post this Daniel. Either this is not the right medium for it or your medium and long term memory are shattered. make something new and stop fishing for compliments. I'm beginning to doubt this post is genuine...
It will pop up as long as a person makes a comment and your account still follows it. I think it's great that it keeps popping up, Daniel will only get noticed more and more...isn't that what we all want?
Hey Niels. I don't post again and again... If someone put comment on any post, it just automatically pops up at the top. That's what Stage32 setup. If you don't like to see this post, I think you should delete your reply here, then I guess you will never see it.
Hello my friend.... I am still on the look out for an illustrator.... could you private message me and let me know if you would be interested in considering doing some illustration for a fairy tale..... Janet.
Hi Janet. Unfortunately, I am only any use for technical illustrations and 3D animations. I have no skill as an illustrator of fairy tales. I wish I had this skill, but in this case I must just say sorry. Your's sincerely, Mark Bayliss.
Daniel your animation is brilliant. I love the main character as he immediately swept me up in his story. Not a great watcher of animation but I would love to see this when it is finished.
Thank you mate, looking forward to seeing that soon..... Thank you... one of these days... with luck my Lucy Goose a Christmas Tale will be out in July for the catalogues.... cheers....
Oh no.. you don't.... Nobody cooks this GOOSE. Lucy was supposed to take flight last Christmas, but... due to being different ...cough, cough... of course, I am not ever quite the norm when it comes to anything. My story was too short to be considered a Novel... and too long to be considered a Children's picture book...so... on the wings of hope My little Lucy G will take flight in time for the silly season this year.
Its super interesting and very good work. Only one think that I see as a mistake, that can be corrected, they are walking in a straight line. People when they walk, body goes up and down, so its more natural.... You can check some tutorials online, unless it was your idea to make them walk like that. If thats the case, I love it all together. :)
Hi April. Next... Yes I am looking for fund to finish this project myself : ) Let me know if you know any angles there who is willing to help a project like this.
Hi Daniel, Great work. Let me know if you want to expand the story to full length screenplay. Happy to do it on spec. If this is of interest send a PDF Treatment / Synopsis of what you have via email to tom.rooney@btinternet.com. Regards, Tom
@richard el asmar Hey Richard. I did all, CG, directing voice acting, video editing. @Mark Ratering Please let me know if you have a good project to work with :)
DANG! That was incredible work Daniel! The train with the water under the bridge?!? What can I say? I'm Speechless! You got skillz! Congratulations on this!
