Kristus@Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 10:54 pm : Cute.
I would've enjoyed it more 5 years ago though.
Jack Rammsdell@Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2008 1:12 am : Different camera angles occasionally for cinematic enhancement, I like how you gave yourself a cute smile.
lowdragon@Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2008 9:40 am : Nice and smooth animation, good work - however, the lego-bricks video from the white-stripes spoils the fun of animated music-clips since it was made so good imho.
Anyway looks still pretty pro for homemade.
Brain Trepaning@Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2008 10:59 pm : Hey, thanks for checking out the video and for the comments. I haven't seen the White Stripes video (I didn't really know music videos were even still being made by anyone) and may just continue to dwell in my ignorance of how good these things COULD look, or I may get discouraged against future projects. This video was made as a test. I tossed in the advertising aspects as a joke, and will remove them at some point, particularly since the advertised gig is not actually taking place.

. Shame on me if i caught you on the wrong foot.
Brain Trepaning@Posted: Sat Oct 18, 2008 8:33 am : The virtually-no-ads version is now up on YouTube and as the AVI download (woopdedoo!).
The Happy Friar@Posted: Sat Oct 18, 2008 1:41 pm : i thought it was fun to watch (not bad playing either!).
was that done in doom 3 with the lego models you made?
Brain Trepaning@Posted: Sat Oct 18, 2008 5:39 pm : I used the model from Bubba Lego-Tep with a different rigging for each musician but all you're seeing is 3ds Max, Photoshop and Premiere. As it is, I could get them all into Doom 3 within an hour using der_ton's General Exporter (as I did for Red Fizz, found in the Daikatana Doom 3 mod), but I'm not sure how I would be able to use the singer's lip sync, as it is an animated material of sorts. I could render the face out as a flat texture and wrap a movie on the head for the singer or render out a bunch of stills and apply them as an animated texture in Doom 3, but there are 2680 frames, so I don't think I would actually do it that way.
