Cool! Reminds me of a 3D printed animation done years ago called "Bear on Stairs". I'm surprised there aren't more people doing this. Btw, I notice that the support bends in some frames. The animation would probably look smoother with stronger supports.
@InCameraTVАй бұрын
Yes, the first thing I noticed before animating was that the support arms came out with different degrees of warping after curing (being too thin). Next time I’d just model a recessed registration key shape into the figure - so that a separate/stronger aluminium bar or rod would give consistent support without bend or warp. But it was only a test, so that is where best to learn these things :)

I've seen this technique and I think it's cool, but it is just ridiculously wasteful, especially if it's done one the scale of a feature (or even short) film.
@InCameraTVАй бұрын
In my test example, yes - incredibly wasteful and impractical. But if employed into a animation feature or short film as a way of recycling looped motion for a character's running or walking / repetitive action, then it could become quite an efficient method to transition to, from the regular stop motion work either side of it . It would be super crazy to employ replacement animation for every frame of unique animation, but for moments of prolonged loops or cycles of repeated motion it could be a good solution....as you are literally recycling the use of your 3D printed assets. It works best for unpainted or simplistic coloured subjects - as accurately matching paint jobs between 3D prints would quickly become a nightmare to hold continuity...but for some things, it could work. For example, if you were to make a stop motion remake of 'Run Lola Run' - you might want to invest in making good quality replacement animation 3D prints for the run cycle - as 80% of your movie will be showing your main character running through locations in medium/ wide shots. Then you can revert back to regular armature based puppet for all other scenes and actions.

I so want one! I worked with a prop house and they had access to one and it was such a bliss. So much faster than 3D printen (which in 2008 wasn’t a thing yet) and hardly any setup compared to a CNC machine. But I never dared to go for the ChinaLaser. This may change my mind.

I think nowadays companies know that a lot of product instructions and frequently asked questions are covered in KZread videos and online forums…even if they don’t directly generate the content themselves. But yeah, maybe it’s quite expensive to roll out quality print these days, compared to generating video and online guides. It also doesn’t help that I’m getting older and find it harder to focus on small print and images!

An excellent review. Thank you. Moving forward, would the InCamera team members be interested in sharing their education/employment backgrounds?

@@midwestdocumentarycenterin1680 I wonder if in your company it’s also a hodgepodge of experience and education. I fell into special effects and through that visual effects because I was a performing mentalist and the show wanted me to perform in this show called the next Uri Geller. Now I had to suggest I had paranormal or special powers, which morally didn’t sit right with me, because in my show I always claimed I obtained the successes by manipulating the odds, setting and the parameters, plus misguiding your expectations and a little white lie here and there. But in then they asked me to coach and create some of my (mainly electronic) effects for the show. Suddenly I’m asked to consult for several shows. And I happened to work at a place where they just shot their first feature. And I spoke to the German vfx supervisor. Since I have a background in electronics and computer graphics I was interested - and thought they’d just coded the comps. He then told me about the “new” product called Nuke. And I basically sacrificed every Friday to go there and be taught compositing and digital mattepainting (which is easy if you don’t actual painting). And if you can code it in C++ which I did for solar telescope and medical MRI/CT viewers its easy to do it in anime. And after 6 months I started doing gigs in my own. Mainly commercials, then TV shows. Suddenly I get a call from that same supervisor it I could help him on this shot for a massive blockbuster. Which turned out to be the aerial shot of the capsized boat in Dunkirk. Where he needed some custom software and the technical directors of DNEG that hired him weren’t available. That led me to bid of Masters of the Skies and do what these lads here did of Dresden in practical in CGI back in 2017-took forever for that show to be streamed; and I still haven’t seen it 😂 Now I mainly go indie productions, small documentaries and thesis films. Because the money and the hours are bad in bigger productions. I earn more with better hours in doing my IT freelance jobs. So I only bid on the “cool projects”. And I was just contacted last week to do the second indie film of an American filmmaker whom I did VfX for his first film and we won best fx at NJ Film Fest as well as best film. And now the budget is 5 times almost nothing 😂 So that’s how I fell into it, by chance. And because of my EE/CS background.
