Our first project at Lost Boys Learning, the Title Project exposes our students to the challenge of taking a project from concept to completion while still operating under a very limited understanding of their new tools. After one week of orientation we dive headfirst into our first project, what better way to start learning!

We have two weeks to design and create a personal intro ID or simulated production title shot, including organizing the necessary assets, filming any live action elements in high definition video, creating 3D assets in Maya, applying materials, choreographing action, setting up lighting, managing renders and carrying out final composites in the Foundry's Nuke.

Our time line is specifically kept tight to keep the creative decision making process rolling while at the same time demonstrating the pressures of real world production.


"My initial idea involved animating small objects in a live action setting to spell out the titles and evolved into cut-out letters thrown at a wall. All the letters were hand keyframed, except the ones that bounce off. Those started out as rigid bodies simulations flung at the wall, then they were "baked out" so I could fine tune the keyframes to react more like hand thrown items." - John Lipskie

In our lives we meet people, connect with them, love them, but in the end they always seem to leave. For me this record is about the 'lifestrings' of each one of us mixing with each other and eventually breaking up again.

We travel the world, and we will always meet new people. But the people that are already in your heart, will never fade away. The memories stay, even if you are all alone in the end.
