I haven’t had much going on lately, at least that I feel I should be blogging.. er, journalling…. er, not-journalling about. But recently I’ve made a couple little 3d animations for my brother for wedding video’s he’s been editing. I don’t know what some of these people expect, I mean, he’s like no time to do any real editing, basically take the sometimes massive amounts of footage, crop out the crap (5 minutes on either side of “I do”) and get it on DVD, that is, if he expects to make a positive dollar per hour amount on anything.

But he’ll get someone who says “Oh, I want butterflys flying past the screen during the ceremony” or something. Not usually much he could do about that, but he turned to me wondering if I could whip something up quick. Linked here is the result, which in it’s true form was large, but crappy, but intended to be scaled down and not promenant, so it worked out well for that. The other item is a matchbox using the actual textures scanned from the one they wanted included in their re-nuptuals (in some form or another, how that translated to 3d animations I’m not sure)

In any case, here are my half-efforts, which I put here since I’m running low on topics at late.

I don’t like weddings myself… *sigh*… always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
