Sorry for the radio silence on our Backstage Blog for the past couple of weeks! We’ve been busy finishing up large client projects and our own in-house project: the animated Coz/Effect video. If you’ve been keeping up with the sneak peeks, you know how much hard work we’ve been putting into this video.

Above is Coz’s final, un-rendered model. His hair alone was a cause for many late nights in our animation studio —it took 5 rounds of modeling to get it to look right in 3D. We actually had to redesign it several times for it to make sense in the third dimension. But now, even in 3D, Coz’s ego shines through.

Above: scans from a model sheet developed for our animators of Coz. For each character appearing in the movie, detailed model sheets and expression charts were developed to aid the animators in bringing the characters to life.

Here’s an another shot of the stadium and concert set in progress.

Above: the final building set for the city model. These are un-rendered proofs developed for director approval.
