Animatic Reel - Sep 2011

by Fabiano Gama

These are parts of animatics from some projects I've worked on. Like static storyboards, they are very useful tools both to approval with clients and directors and to be used as a clear guide to the other people involved in the production. Sometimes what I first get from the client and/or director is a detailed script, sometimes it's a general idea of what they want to say or to sell, and sometimes it's a detailed script that has to be adapted in order to work. I get it and try to think of the best way I can to turn it into a visual story that best fit to what they want. Sometimes it takes several versions, going back and forth, until we find the excellence and finally start the process of animating itself, and sometimes it's approved in the first version. In any case, the better and constructive is this dialogue, the better will be the final product and the better all of us will feel during the process.

Centauro - Animatic and Animation

by Fabiano Gama

This is nor only a good example of an animatic translated to an animation, but also an example of a perfect work dialogue between us and the client. In this case, the first thing I got from the client was a text with the idea of what happen those characters, going to a Centauro Store, touching some objects related to their favorite sports, being transformed into something bigger, and going back to their original shapes when they stepped out of the store. Great and beautiful idea, but it wouldn't work as a video if we followed that text exactly as it was, it wouldn't even fit in the 30 second we had, so it had to be adapted to a cinematic language, keeping the basic idea of the story the client wanted to tell. The first thing I did was an animatic without worrying about the time. I put a lot of ideas there, so the client could feel the possibilities, feel the possible moods, and start to choose between the many ways to do it. After the first feedback I could know how magic, how action/adventure…

CQC - Pre- Production

by Fabiano Gama

Video Reference/ Animatic: Fabiano Gama Animation: Ricardo Jost Concept / modeling / background / ilumination / render: Vagalume Animation Studios team. I would like to have worked in the animation stage of this project too, but I had to work on another project at that time. But it was fun to work on the pre-production, thinking on the choreography, recording video reference and doing the animatics/thumbnails. =============================================================================== Video Referência / Animatic: Fabiano Gama Animação: Ricardo Jost Concept / modeling / background / ilumination / render: Equipe da Vagalume Animation Studios Gosaria de ter trabalhado também no estágio de animação desse projeto, mas eu tive que ir em um outro projeto naquele dia. Mas foi divertido trabalhar na pré-produção, pensando na coreografia, gravando as video-referências e fazendo os animatics/thumbnails.
