Team Lucy is growing!

Some newer members to team Lucy I'd like to introduce:

Harry Ellard - vfx
Aaditi Dutt - matte painting
Filippo Dattola - modeling and animation
Jose "Weecho" Velasquez - surfacing
Megan Walker - surfacing

Our crew has grown to about 30 artists!

Dream turns to nightmare

A peek at one of Brad Jacobson's production shots. So far we haven't posted any of Lucy's character animation- trying to keep it a secret. But what's a Lucy blog without a glimpse of her in action?

This is the moment Lucy realizes she's not in Kansas any more. It's about to get ugly.

Brad you rock.

Ravi Kamble Govind Scarecrow entry for Concurso Arte y Animación

Ravi is a Lucy animator, and a great one at that, but there are many iAnimators not working on Lucy who've done great things with our rigs. I'd love to feature some of them in the coming weeks. Always fun to see what people are doing with these characters outside the scope of actual Lucy production. If you are one of those animators please drop me a line so we can showcase your work!

Thanks for this moment of pure evil Ravi-

CTN look of picture test

This is so awesome. I've watched it a hundred times.  It's the look of picture test we're going to show at the Creative Talent Network Expo in Burbank, CA.

Our mini world premiere!

Scarecrow is animated by Jason Ryan, lit by Larry Vasquez, surfaced by Barrett Davis, Scot Andreason, Megan Walker. He's modeled, rigged and surfaced by Victor Vinyals, designed by Pierre Perifel and voiced by C.V. Canoe. Audio by Jamey Scott.

Thanks to all of you for lending your talents!

Look of Picture Test

In time for CTN, we'll be pushing a shot through our interim pipeline- Jason Ryan's shot 27 from sequence 2. This won't be the look of the final film, but a sketch of how we might approach the lighting and surfacing of the environment and Scarecrow. Scarecrow is voiced by CV Canoe. Here is Jason's animation:

Surfacing treatment by Barrett Scott, Megan Wilson, and Scot Andreason (in 1 week!)


Lighting and rendering are forthcoming... stay tuned!
