Welcome to the board! A few things... moderators on the board typically don't like people to "double post"... so you might want to try using the "edit" button (found in the upper right corner) to edit your posts, assuming we still have that feature... I'm actually not sure, because I noticed one night that we didn't have it in the Hanging Out sections. Anyways, I'm downloading the short so I'll let you know what I think later. The site's layout is nice though. Hope you have a good, informative time on modified.ca

*EDIT*: This is pretty cool! You should animate one of Vasek's movies like "Vecere" or something, that would be awesome.

That was awesome. As I was watching it, I was like "Wow, she plays a lot like Vasek." ;-] Since you already have everything modeled, I think it would be cool to play around with camera angles, such as put a stationary camera right above her, or put a camera in front that follows the bag, or to actually put a camera on the bag itself.

Hey thats awesome! I wish i could do that. How long did Kirk work for this short vid? I wonder how much work such an animation does require...

thanks for the replies i know that kirk appriciates any and all feedback. and as for reni's Q? kirk did this short for school and i probably took him about 6 months. also i apploigize if any of the transitions were messed up in the video there were poblems with the compression

I don't know how much time and work went into that, but that was amazing ! It looked so prefessional and well done, keep up the good work.

That was FAT! That goes out to all the guys that wonder what it would be like there was a girl who could shred like Vasek or Ales. Seriously though, that must have taken an enormous amount of talent and time to create. I had to put a link to it from Shreditas.com because it is so cool.
Thanks for sharing!

That is soo styley. Very cool. One thing tho - 74mb for 1 minute of film?
Did Kirk compress it at all?

Matt Ketis-Bendena · Post by **Matt Ketis-Bendena** » 15 Jun 2004 13:12

hey ebo

kirk did compress it alot actually the original is a few gig's. he tried to make it as small as possible but that is just how it ended up. anyway, thanks again for all the feedback from everyone.

Hi all - this is my first post!
Just thought I'd give a bit of background on this short...
I used Softimage XSI to create this, and the project covered six months of solid work, and another six months of training all done at Vancouver Film School.
Thanks very much for all the props - I probably won't get around to making a full length movie by any means, as animating and modelling just a few seconds of footbag can take days, or sometimes weeks. But I do intend to keep animating, so check out my site every once in a while for updates.
Sorry for the big file size - I'm just all about retaining quality, as it took much time to get every colour and line just right.
Feel free to e mail me with any questions and comments
Peace!
