Hi again. This is my first WIP for TS7.5 (no more trial version, I got the real thing now!) I have started work on a mini movie, which I called "Mad Farm."
I've included screenshots of my models of a goat, and half of (the beginning of) a cow (that's why I called my post "... ... moovie"). No animation yet, sorry.
Here is a summary of the story i made for it:
A blind farmer was looking for the animal feed for the animals at his small farm. He picked up a bag of chemical garden fertilizer (not knowing that it wasn't food), and fed it to the animals. As the animals ate the fertilizer that night, strange things happened. The animals were fighting, and were eating parts of each other, and went crazy (or mad). The farmer's neighbor called a scientist at a lab in a small city near by. The scentist took the dead animals, dissected them, and a foul smell of acid and chemical fertilizer filled the air. There was greenish-blue, chemical garden fertilizer in the stomach of the goat that the scientist dissected.
In the end, (I really shouldn't tell the ending, but I want to) the farmer got arrested for mistreating the animals, but since he is blind, the police told him he wouldn't have to pay them anything for this weird crime. The neighbor went on to own the farm, and started a new garden there, and only ordered organic fertilizer.
THE END! |

Ambitious project! It should be interesting to see the various stages as you get it going. |

I can tell it's going to be a colorful mooovie :D
I look forward to it, although it sounds a bit gory :p |

Ya know what everyone, I changed my mind. You guys are right that this is definitly too hard to make, and way too gory. I decided I won't make this mini movie now. But, I am starting work on some other mini movies!
There are several episodes I planned for a mini series called "Meepers Mania".
It's about four guineapig friends, (they are going to be cartoony, and not realistic looking) who have many good (and sometimes bad) times. I am going to try to make the series of Meeepers Mania as family friendly as I can, with some gross humor. I am not going to use the FA for facial animations, because i'm still having trouble with it. Instead, I will use the material rectangle tool to place images I am making for their different faces, and expressions. I will place the images on their faces, and have different scenes with different facial expressions.
I have a question though:
How do you make different scenes? I mean, do you need to use multiple cameras for different types of scenes, or just one camera (move/rotate the camera around)? |

I think you should set up one scene and then change the angle of the camera according to your editing, for example, these guys walking in front of a camera and when one of them has a reaction you change your angle, that makes it more interesting to see,
I hope this can help you!
Atte.
