Hi!
So this video was made with Blender 4.1. I recorded the footage
back in 2010 with a cheap DV cam and realized that it would not cut
it as the main focus… so stuff never happened but after my parents
passed away in 2021-22 of alzhemiers and dementia I got back to the idea
and now it clicked… I made the video stuff as a comic book instead and animated stuff around it to boost the over all resolution.
Sure it was not fun to motiontrack the DV material but I added shadows and stuff just to make it more interesting using old paintings I made around
elementary school… images my mom made and so on.
I had to settle with eevee in order to get a sporting chance to render it all
with my GTX 3060Ti since it was lots of frames/memory. It took way too long
to complete but in the end I got a sort of personal memory of my
parents through images and sound… and a bit of grief of the world today
found its way into it also when I made the last bits…
There are no character rig animations… mostly direct animation on planes
or simple deforms based on vertex groups.
I learn stuff as I go along and this was my third full animation so I am proud
of the result. The song was made almost 26years ago where I completed
it in 2010 and added some layers to it making this video so now it is complete.
