"St.Petersburg 2017 Edge of Extinction"

Hi all,

I`m creating this thread to stop spamming my own in Tu-95MS thread with post that`s are not related to.

=Intro=

The "St.Petersburg 2017 Edge of Extinction" is going to be a short cgi movie, it`s a "Graduation Project" that we are making for "Grafisch lyceum Rotterdam".

Benjamin came up with an idea to create a destroyed city that should wake-up your emotion feeling with help of camera movement.

After lots of brainstorming i came up with a story and camera shots.

After creating concept art i`ve drawed and animated an "Animatic" just to keep sketchy shots in my head.

After that we went shooting the footage in the greenscreen with my little sister Lizalot Walrave.

Next for me was cutting/choosing the footage shots.

Then i`ve created a "3D Previz" where in i`ve setted up the final scale of the city/directed-animated the tank and cameras.The rest of enviroment have to be created.

The story won`t be full by not saying that i`m (Oleg Kovalev) working on this short with my friend Benjamin Vlainic.

I`ll post more info dependent on time i have.

Just view all the links to see ower current state.

You should make a full lenght CGI movie and show it on cinemas, you would gain a shitload of money. Oh and I forgot to express my self:

O.O

[Pyronick 21]

Nicely made! But wasn't Rotterdam easier, as you go to school there? (as do I ;))

Maar, inderdaad een realistisch verwoeste stad! ;)

[themaster303 22]

nice work !! love it. is that music produced for you or is that music from a film or what ever ?

if you like a music and special effects for your film i can make this for you if you want. and i would like to.

i did an effect over for this trailer , effects where done in 2-3 hours.

music is also written by me , but it took longer to make it ;)

if you like it write me a pm. on pm i can tell you what else i had done for tv-stations...blah blah... ;)

Very nice, good luck with the project! Any change of any of the great models ever making it into ...Arma?

Groeten uit Amsterdam!

[paragraphic l 2]

Wist niet dat we zulk talent hadden op GLR, kom zeker langs tijdens eind expo :)

Looks nice, well done on the trailer, I'm really looking forward to see the end results

[froggyluv 2136]

Very much enjoyed that!

Music reminds me a little of "In the House in a Heartbeat" from the film 28 Days Later.

[soul_assassin 1750]

Lol, maybe we should organize an Arma 2 gathering here in NL :)

aye, you can bet that we'll do anything we can to make something awesome :)

Nicely made! But wasn't Rotterdam easier, as you go to school there? (as do I ;))

ofc, rotterdam would be easier but that is no reason to pick a city ; )

We decided to do st. petersburg because it is a beautiful city beaming with culture.

if we chose Rotterdam, the video would not achieve the look that we are aiming for.

(which class are you in ? we're in D4A )

Oud-student ? :)

We are working with Kuroyuki(Benjamin) very hard on vehicles and assets before starting modeling building and building scenes.

Here is a render from a scene i use to test my setting and finding new ways to get the better result in quality. Also use this scene to create presets for later.

Looks awesome Oleg but one thing i have to nitpick about... why does the plastic ( Bumpers, Sideskirts, Emblem ) on the Mazda rust? ;)

On the other side its most likey just a rust effect layer i assume?

Anyway, i forsee great grades with such excellent work.

[3dartist 69]

We have no time to paint separated textures for plastic and chrome stuff.

See it as Dirt for now.The Black colored would be to much contrast,i tried to make it before i came with such decission.Soon as we have lots of time in our hand to recreate stuff.First thigns we`re going to do is model a better stuff where needed and repaint textures or make som extra new.Like making the current wheels burned out with metal wires coming out of , would be looking more real :)

[3dartist 69]

=UPDATE=

We have almost reached the deadline,after discussen with our tutors we have come to a conclusion, to shift deadline to 24 april ,under one condition to deliver before 14 april a video with shots that has been finished.

Due to the lack of time we just can`t push scene detail density on a level as we thought to make in the begining, we have decided to rebuild the whole movie from scratch after exam ends.

Breakdowns:

Previz 2(first scene have to be build ,the rest is almost/or done):
