I spent the last year making a feature film called YEAR OF THE FISH that was entirely rotoscoped using Studio Artist. Even so, I feel like I've only just scratched the surface of this program's potential - I had to keep things relatively tame for the purposes of narrative coherence. I think the next project I do will be a little wilder.
About Me:
Native New Yorker. I've made many short films, including LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD starring Christina Ricci and Quentin Crisp, LITTLE SUCK-A-THUMB, THE FROG KING, LOVEDEATH and others. Mostly myths and fairy tales thus far but branching out... I also have a background in illustration
I'm working on a feature length comedy called Sequitur which is going to be made largely of public domain footage modified with SA. I'm brand new to studio artist and am wondering if you could help me formulate a step by step paint sequence list (just in general) of what steps you did to to achieve the smooth liquid style of Year of The Fish. My fist trial had too much "gunk."
Hi David
With the release of Year of the Fish in USA theatres, is there any thought about releasing the film to iTunes? Now that movies are in Canada, and that the film distribution system in Canada is not the greatest for films that won't make the theatres 10M$ or, as I am, in the boonies of Canada and not able to make it to a large theatre in Toronto that might show the film. I would love to rent, buy the film if it can be licensed to iTunes.
hi david,
thank you very much for the comment.the figures at the beginning were generated in MSG, batch processed in SA with some 3D texture snd then randomly morphed together without any real thought to were the bezier curves went.i would probably struggle to do it again like that, mind you thats part of the fun.
As you said, there are many ways to accomplish things. That's why it is so good to get different opinions and experiences from others.
Helped again of course! Thanks.
Congratulations on your film and award. You deserve it. Since we are both in New York, let's get together. It would be great to meet you when you have the time.
Paul
