The struggle is over. The film has been completed. Our animation course rolls to an end. After roughly 18 months of hard work, we came out with this.

All the graduate films were judged, and we came away with two awards for Best Character Animation and Overall Highest Achievement in Animation.

At this present time, only the trailer will be available to the public, but keep your eye out, for in a few months time, we will release the full film online!

We hope you enjoy!

Now only a few days away from completion, we are all very excited. 95% of the film is composited together, and soon we'll have the final edit.

Our music guys, Martin and Stian, working hard on the film - all the way over in Norwegia land!

Only a few weeks remain before all this hard work and effort comes to an end! Rendering is a day or two away from completion- and then the full steam-effort to complete the compositing will commence. And then, hopefully, come October 22nd, we'll have a finished film.

Fingers crossed!

At this present time, including the credits our film is 8 minutes long- and not a frame under or over.
All the the tests and such we have done so far have pleased us, and we eagerly await the films completion.

Yet another successful review goes by!
Full steam ahead to the finish. With the sound and music going ahead nicely, we finish production and head into post.

We have now locked off 'The Guardian's Tale' as our title.

Backgrounds so far

Some test composits.

The animation process is a long and arduous one, filled with pain and terror- but we shall prevail!

 

 

An important part of this process is collecting reference footage- Even the best animators need a little bit of real-world reference now and then.

 

The backgrounds are being churned out!
