O Caminho (the Path)

Hi! Today I’ll show you one of my “best” (so to speak)  Live Action projects.

This was made for the “Festival de Micro Filmes de Lisboa” 2007.

The rules were simple,  it couldn’t exceed the 3 minutes length,  it had to be creative, filmed with a Cell Phone or a Consumer Digital Camera  and we weren’t allowed to use more than 20 seconds of copyright music…

… and this was what I’ve come up with

Subtitles will be added soon.

Talking about Blender and C.C.P

Hi, today I’m going to talk about the one and only super DCC (digital content creation) application that literally changed my life… Forever

Blender

Yeah, so… what makes blender so special relatively to a bunch of more famous, at the moment, DCC aplications like Autodesk Maya/Softimage/3Ds Max (Hehe they all together really… # deleted very funny and extensive text because this aint about this three# )

… Well to START:

Blender is Freeware and Open Source;

And to END:

with Blender is possible to make such good works as the others, and in my opinion, and I’m just a fool (just count the number of “and” on this sentence and you’ll see I’m not lying), allot faster and intuitively.

I knew you would say that, you want proofs right!?

Well here it is:

Two awesome open (yes, you do have access to all the production files) short animations produced by the Blender Foundation/Institute:

Elephants Dream

Big Buck Bunny

and a Open Game:

Yo Frankie!

Which happened to by my prise for Orion Tear being selected for the  Blender Conference 2008, how cool is that!?

Blender is a modeling, animation, texturing, compositing, rendering, editing, etc tool, which allows, all of you movie lovers (with allot effort and dedication) premiere your own, 100% legally made, movie on a actual cinema festival… or if you’re a game lover, develop your own video-game … or if your a architect pre-viz your works in 3D  … or you get the point right

…You Evil minds ]:)

Yes it is true… for example my Orion Tear was present on the 2008 XV edition of the Caminhos do Cinema Português Festival on Coimbra, Portugal that is hapenning this year has I write.

If you are near, don’t forget to pay a visit to the Teatro Académico Gil Vicente, Coimbra, Portugal, from 18 to 26 April and see all the best 2009 portuguese movies For Free.

Untill the next post

My work for Project Topsecret

This is late news for me but it may still feel fresh to you

There’s a open source community developed video-game going on, it’s from Acclaim and is know as Project Topsecret

During first half of 2008 I’ve modeled and textured somethings for them, namely a character and a mount.

I must say it was a pleasure to work for the the, at time know by the name, Team Dev-hat.

Here you can see the results:

http://www.vimeo.com/1466930

The character has about 2500 polygons (read triangles) and the mount has about 4500

Of course it was all modeled/textured with Blender (www.blender.org), Gimp (www.gimp.org) and Inkscape (www.inkscape.org)

Let me introduce my self :)

Hi! My name is  Rogério Perdiz and I’m a self thought animation movie lover and creator from Portugal.

Until this day I’ve only made one short animation, it’s called “Orion Tear“

Some cool stuff available at devianART

I’m a Open source person, so my movie making tools are:

Blender  (www.blender.org)

Gimp (www.gimp.org)

Inkscape (www.inkscape.org)

CeltX (www.celtx.com) (not opensource but still freeware)

All runing in the Ubuntu SO (www.ubuntu.com)

My goal is to become a very good… a super movie director and although I love animation I also would like to try live action cinema someday.

From now on I’ll post here all major developments in my life, so stay tuned (so to speak) ^_^
