This is my final project for my 3D animation program at Dev Studios/PixelBlueFX in Edmonton. It involves bikes and dirt jumping, so I thought it would be appropriate for pinkbike. This project took me over a month with many 18-hour days of work. Enjoy, and please let me know what you think (keep it constructive, and remember i'm just starting out).

how long did it take you to make by the way?

markw (Mar 18, 2009 at 20:15)

It took about five weeks. The bike took the longest, it is very detailed. Too bad you don't see it all the close in the film.

markw (Mar 18, 2009 at 20:17)

I took a six month course to learn how to do this stuff. It's a lot of hard work, but so fun and rewarding.

Cool, but is it supposed to be a silent short film, or does my computer just suck?

markw (Mar 19, 2009 at 18:00)

I uploaded a version with music, but basically it is a silent film. Unless you know a foley artist who wants to do sound effects for me? Smile

Ya, that's what I thought, I know sound is a seperate function, I just wanted to confirm, because for a short while I was having trouble with hearing audio on pinkbike vids.

nice work... very smooth and texture mapping are very detailed. only thing i noticed is the transitions could be quicker, but aside from that very nice!!

also, the fluid movement of the characters is spot on. better then some "big" production house stuff i have seen.

keep it up!
