Digital Kitchen: Sundance 07

industry.jpg

Digital Kitchen recently created a lushly mechanical (I think that’s the first time I’ve ever combined those words together) bumper-type-thing that played before every movie at the Sundance Film Festival this year.

Extra bonus for reading Motionographer: a QT of the wireframes! (Who loves you, baby?)

DK’s work is consistently top-notch. And from the looks of their recent postings on the Jobs page, they’re expanding their Seattle office. Man, if I had the chops, I’d be there in a heartbeat.

Not to nit pick but…

Shouldn’t the guy with the shovel be throwing… mmm… I don’t know… COAL into the furnace?

Last time I checked… poking a shovel full of nothing… into a pile of burning hot coal… didn’t cause a combustible reaction.

rimbaun

is that andre? i used to shoot him in cod!

nit picker: We took liberties with how this factory works. The worker is shoveling hot coal from the furnace into the buckets that are distributed around the factory.

rimbaun: All of the workers were acted out by one person, a guy named Ryan Clark.

What software was used on the 3D work? Very nice and clean stuff.

Colin Day

Maya was used for some of the modeling, but the majority of the 3D stuff was done in Bryce……….

no, I’m kidding. The majority of the 3D stuff was done in XSI.

Duncan

lol! Thats funny, the wires did remind me of xsi.
