Animation Challenge #48 Entries CLOSED

Contests Weekend Challenge
#1

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay in getting this round up. The sound file that Busterhymen originally chose was a bit on the long side, so I waited for a shorter clip. Busterhymen has provided 3 clips, the 3rd of which will be used for this round, and the other two for the round that will occur while voting for this round takes place.

This round will last for 2 weeks and will end on the end of Saturday (NZST).

The rules can be found at the following link:

Have fun, and take note of the closing dates please,
Aligorith

**** Just added a verion with ray tracing but no motion blur… I’m thinking the ray traced version looks better? That’s the one I’d like to use for voting if this goes to voting. Anim

I would like to introduce “Frank” with this animation challenge. I call him Frank because until I made a few adjustments he had a very small mouth and NO LIPS! My wife said that he reminded her of Frank Burns from MAS*H for those of you that remember that classic.

Great animation by the way McSmiffy. I really enjoyed your last submission as well!

C’mon Marslyr, Djarielm, Cap’n, and Rankn67… let’s see some animations!

Good Luck to everyone… Animwannab

Here’s a thumb of frame one from the animation…

Your not helping by saying that… :confused:

I’m not doing lypsynching this time, will be to cliche with the count down. I’m trying a different approach, but will still be acting. Hope it turns out good.

With an audio clip like this weeks I thought I go for a photorealistic
historically correct recreation of a Saturn 5 launch from 1968…

If I get time I might try a re-render of the fluid-sim part but
it really sloooooows my computer down.

I probably spend 2 to 3 hours a night on these so I guess total time would be 20-25 Hours.
