Title: Some Halloween Nonsense with Aliens, R2D2 and BB8
Post by: DocCharly65 on October 26, 2021, 12:09:42 PM
It is what it is... NONSENSE...
Some very old animations mixed up with some of the newest...

...and you'll understand how much pain aliens realy must have in thes rotating saucer ships... :)


Some more description (music/models) is on the channel description.
OK - One more info: Yes, the extraterrestrial language is nothing more than senseless tongue clicking recorded on my cell phone ...

Have fun:

A very interesting camera movement at 1.25 ... dolly back zoom in.

Thanks to all :)

Pierre, that dolly back zoom in camera setting is one of my favorite "tools" to add dramatic to a scene. (Thanks for the description - I didn't know how it's named but I liked the effect ;D  )

Hannes it's very difficult to say, because especially the forest animations are quite old. I rendered them between 2015 and 2017. And at that time I used maximum AA3-AA4 and very seldom AA5. Meanwhile I use mostly minimum AA6. More and more often AA8 and in some seldom cases AA10, AA12 or above.

The newest renders are the Vree interior shots. They are AA8 and needed per scene appr. 15 days.

But if you want just a number -- all together 5 Years ... ;D

Thanks Nils!
As far as I know this effect is called the "Vertigo-effect". Alfred Hitchcock used it in his film Vertigo. And I think he was the first one who did that.
