1. Atlantis - An inconvenient truth
2 years ago
"Atlantis - An inconvenient truth" is an animated short produced by Christopher Hempel, Martin Köhler ( vimeo.com/user1868860 ), Christian Stadach ( vimeo.com/user2426777 ) and me (Simon Prager). It is a steampunk version of the legend of atlantis and was created for the Steampunk Challenge on cgsociety.org. Although there were a lot of good entrants we were lucky and won the Team Entry Excellence Award.

    I'm a huge cgsociety fan and I've been following the Steampunk Challenge, but mostley 2D. This is beyond fantastic!! Thanks so much for sharing this over here. I can't even imagine the work that went into it but it must have been so much fun! what editing software do you use?
  • Simon Prager 2 years ago
    hello claudia,
    thank you so much for the kind words. it was realy a lot of work, but the fun we had during production and the lessons we've learned, weigh much higher than the stress we had.
    For this project we mainly used maya, premiere and after effects.

    Nice work! i love the camera work, it feels almost reel, and adds so much i think. very cool!
  • Simon Prager 2 years ago
    thanks luke! you are right: in contrast to the animation the camera work became quite good and is able to compensate many "mistakes".

    I was secretly hoping for a Steampunk Al Gore to deliver his inconvenient truth, but alas.

    I really like the eye iris effect, but it seemed to be that they were trying to focus, instead of adjust light like a real lens iris does...

    Great job, guys.
  • Simon Prager 2 years ago
    hi brennan,

    thanks for your comment.
    you are right: the eyes aren't physically correct but in animation the emotional effect often balances higher than physical correctness.

    greetings

    Yeah, I know. lol. I do it all the time in my own animations...

    It works here, I think.

    Nice work Simon. I hope you post some more videos (or are in the process of working on something new) as your talents deserve to be shared.
  • Simon Prager 2 years ago
    thank you carlos!
    i recently started a new project with a nice team.
    the project is planned to be finished in about 3 months.
