Short animation: Ton Roosendaal Vs The Evil Sea Creature

G’day mates,

here’s a small animation I made a few days before the BConf-deadline, so it could have its premiere there at the Art Festival. Some of you might have seen it on 1 of the conference video’s (or the conference itself of course).

I only used old models. Because the timeframe I had to finish it the pacing isn’t quite there yet. But still fun, I hope.

EDIT: for those who don’t know who Ton Roosendaal is (shame on you), he is the creator of Blender. He is the man. And the Vroom-jacket actually exists.

And again
a big thanks to a very special man
for hosting the video, as much as he can
the one and only super Wu-Man

Hope y’all like it,
Sago

first post!!!

Can’t wait to watch, downloading right now :smiley:

Edit: Great Work Sago, I thought I’d never hear that “Hi my name is Ton Roosendaal and I pronounce Blender as Blender” again,

animation was very good. T
he story wasn’t too deep though, but I don’t think that was what you were aiming for anyway.

Again, Great Work Sago!

vey funny… its so life-like it gives me the chills

haha i realy like it, ton holds a blender :smiley:

Wow! Thats awesome. If it weren’t for the cartoony look of the hands holding the toys, I would have thought its a real video.

Did you render this with Yafray or Blender internal?

In either case, your lighting setup is absolutely awesome once again!

You really should do a tutorial on lighting.

I also believe its a Real Video in the beginning!!WOW:eek:
This looks Really Good!
Great Lightning,Animation,Plastic looking Toys Shaders,
i like also the Intro …

First of, I never had the chance to say congrats on winning the suzanne award. So, Congratulations.
Man, you must be head over heels in love with suzanne to make those cool animations :D. They’re simple and yet so entertaining to watch. I’ve got to second ChojinDSL’s request for your lighting setup (or is it one of your secrets just like the skin shader :wink: ). Solid work man, I couldn’t say less than that. And oh, 5 stars from me.

Not as good as your Man in Man. Much too slowly paced, if you ask me (too
long pauses).

But defidently worth 4 stars! Good work as always!

Hey Sago,
I saw the movie on Friday at the conference, I think you were there too. Else I’ll tell you, we laughed out loud!
PS: for people who don’t know, the text “Ton” is saying is from an old tutorial(lip-sync) that does not exist anymore I think

Damn sacha… GA VOOR PIXAR WERKEN OFZO… ehm, sorry, GET A JOB WITH PIXAR that is.:stuck_out_tongue: great work… and I second the tutorial requests:D

Good one :stuck_out_tongue:
Still can’t get round the baby voice in the beginning without laughing.
Just seems like he’s thinking too slow. Too much time between he’s actions and reactions.

I actually think this beat man in man- the pauses inbetween everything is what made it funny in my opinion. The animation was really good, never a moment where the animation stopped totally (this happened a couple of times in man in man, that kinda ruined it for me).

What made this animation perfect were the movements of the hands.
Incredibly lifelike, like something straight out of Toy-Story!

Wow, this is excellent and very funny.

5 stars from me.

I laughed, so I guess it’s good then. I actually liked this better than your ‘Man in Man’ animation. This one has better exectution and the length is just right.

aww no, no subtitle like the one in “man in man” animation. coulds somebody write a real quick script of what they r saying so I could understand it (I’m deaf myself for those of you who don’t know)?

I agree that it is a little slow, but still this is much funnier than Man in Man (though I love both) You really are amazing with your style. You should do a full length feature, just to see what would happen.

cool dude !!! cooool!
I never thought of the concept before watching it. Loved it!

uh…sort of slow…with looong pauses. Not as quik and witty as man in man.
but looked very nice
later
drew

that was so funny =) I love ton´s akcent(or is it accent, I don´t know)
