am making an animated film. I have been working on for a long time. I had it on my mind much longer time ago, actually since 1994 when I wrote the first version of the scrip. It is called "FERRLAND".



I still have a long way to go, I know. But I will like to leave here a link to the web site where you could see some images. And some recent animated sequences.

I am starting to animate after having made a storyboard of 100 pages, recording the voices, making the animatics, modeling the characters, making the set up, blend shapes and so on.

After that I finally starting to animate, which is a key stage. Therefore I will like to share with you a bit of all I have done so far, and expose it in this site for you to sse it and give me, if you will, a fed back, impressions, or any comments, questions or whatever you may want to make.

They will be more than welcome.
Since I am basically doing it alone for a long time. It is hard for me to find opinions on witch I can find a direction to improve. I am sure peoples reaction can help me a lot.

Thats the reason y post it here.
Here is the link. And I hope you find it at least interesting.

Here I have some animated sequences just in work in progress that I also want to share.

Just let me explain a bit more my situation in this project and some of the reason that are motivating me to keep going on with this project.

I will like to explain to all of you a bit more, since you shared your comments. Maybe it is of interest to you and helps to understand why I am making this project.

Since I was a kid I have always loved SC Fiction and fantasy movies, especially animated ones, because they are more effective in the way they communicate fantasy and imagination creating new worlds and great stories.

I have always wanted to make my little contribution or at participation.
But I always thought that it was an impossible task to do.
Suddenly, when I was studying Industrial design in LA I became more an more addicted to new SGI technologies and I was learning all I could, as I was realizing that this technology could really make this task possible.
I have spent a lot of time learning, modeling, set up, animation, lighting, dynamics, compositing, etc. I have taken Summer intense course and bought all existing DVD´s tutorials. All because I was seeing that it was possible to make my story. It will be very hard work, but in a way possible.

I did some other short SCFI films(this one not animated one) with another friend of mine, also in our spare time while I was working in LA as a Full time Product and graphic designer, and learn very much from that experience and realize that by being constant you can achieve very crazy and long projects.

I have also found many people in internet that are already doing that and they are continuing doing it after 5 years.
Bryan Taylor with http://www.rustboy.com/
in Animwatch they are many more like him
I really admire them and They represent a great motivation for me.

So as you see there are plenty of reasons that will keep me motivated for at least 6 more years. Doing this project is a very motivating engine to improve and learn. And only for that reason makes it worth the effort.


Thank you in advance

Hey, adolfo!

How did you find the animation sequences?

Thanks for suport

This is a nice animation character. I would like to see the story too:)

Well, great animation..Keep it up!

Wow, the composition and modelling looks really good. I like the horse modelling very much.

wow, that is amazing. It looks really nice. Excellect work!

I agree, amazing stuff. Good work!

THIS IS REALLY COOL I LIKE IT.

I like the style, but I think your animation needs work. If the lip syncing, for example, is "complete" then it looks very off and hurts the overall quality.

I can't really criticize WIPs much, so I'll leave it at that.
