Leader: TCM classic film festival

7

David Fenner created a fantastic trailer for a film festival. Can you spot which parts are CG?

Hey guys, I want to share with you a project we did at loica.tv for channel TCM, for their classic film festival. This is a full montage with both live action and CG parts, but pretty much every CG part is done in blender. I'll post some pics of the sections that are CG below the video (cg are: steenbeck and classic editing machine, director chair, film close ups, + few small parts of live action shots). For this project I was pretty much the only guy using blender, so all main CG shots are mine, but now there are 4 who learned blender and others are learning as well , so next projects will have even more.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

    Just wanted to clarify that I did not make the whole trailer... only main CG shots. Lots of people worked in editing, color correction, and primary filming. Also there are a few CG elements that complement filming (like TCM plates over filmed cameras) that were done by other people at loica.

  2. That's a very well made piece of art!
    The art direction is fantastic and those stylized yet believable models are just amazing.
    Congratulations Loica!

  3. TCM is easily my favorite TV channel. I've seen this trailer before. I just didn't know any of this saw usage of Blender, or CG for that matter. Nice!

    Thanks for sharing, David!
