Music Video: 'Big Brother'

12

bigbrother.jpgIt's Sunday night, the baby is asleep and I'm the only one awake in the house. Life is good and I found myself enjoying this relaxing music video that Andrej Cimerman created (with Blender, of course) for a band called Trilas. Even though I'm not sure the video really matches the music, I enjoyed the 50's style animation and the music.

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.

  1. It's very slow. But it's well made. The clean cut southpark drawing style looks very nice.

    I can see this being played in a jazz club in the background for people to watch, when conversation dulls down. It looks good, and the music is soothing. But you need to tighten it up a bit. Shorten the shots, add some textures to a few of the plain looking objects (like the missile tower). I'm also not too keen on that broccoli looking spaceship. But that's just me.

    Well done though! It's an above average job for sure!

  2. I do not really remember how long it took to render.
    A lot depended on OSA setting. Sometimes I had to rerender a scene,
    some scenes that I had to render were not included in the final
    movie and sometimes I rendered the background separately and then used
    it as an image background rather then render everything for every frame.
    All in all it was a lot less time then typical 3D rendering, yet longer then it would
    take to render using 2d software such as Creatoon.

  3. Maybe I should take another whack at ktoon and synfig.
    I've never heard of Creatoon, so I'm guessing it's proprietary.

    I've always wanted to make something in 3d with cell shading and throw in unexpected perspective shifts. You know, something to make people say 'Whoa, that's actually /3d/? Wieeeerrrd'

    It'd be sweet to make some kind of CC-BY-SA anime show like that.

  4. Ethana2 a lot of things in this music video are created using Bezier Curves. No toon shading was used.
    Yes Creatoon is proprietary but is now free. You can use Blender for all kinds
    of 2d animation, and there is a huge advantage in 3d space, Node editor, and no limits to effects that can be used.
    But if you are using BITMAP images for something like collage animation you have to use a bit larger resolution
    since Blender will render them a bit blurred. You can apply transformation in sequence editor if you really need
    them to be very very sharp.
    But if you are considering Ktoon and Synfig you might also take a look at Pencil traditional animation software.

  5. interesting... don't care for the bright, unpleasant color choices, and the artwork overall, but, still, OK. The end space dome place was neat, nice R.I.P. casket doorway. Liked the bubble-looking main spaceship. Cute duck bird. God bless.
