If you are not worried to see to much of the movie before it hits the theatre, have a look at that new teaser and “Forbidden friendship” a 2mins long shot of the encounter between Hiccup and Night Fury.
How to train your dragon
There is something really striking in those clips and I really wonder how this is gonna work out in the final movie. A lot of the shots are lit by an overcast sky and most of the colours are desaturated except for a tiny amount of shots like “Forbidden friendship”. Since not all the shots are similar, I guess it is a deliberate choice but that’s a really odd one especially from Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois. Is it how they translate watercolours in CG?
The movie is out in few weeks, I can’t wait!
Oops I was about to forget the link to the “How to train your dragon”‘s blog

This time I am modeling the hands. I am not looking at references yet, just blocking out the shapes.
You will see me starting from a cube, which I subdivide manually to extrude faces and create the fingers.
I push the details on one fingers then duplicate it to create the other ones. Very often you will see me going from low poly to high poly using the 1 and 3 keys in maya 2009.
and here is the second pass

Third pass, refining the shape, cleaning up some edges, adding more detail

I hadn’t had a chance to check that video before and that’s a shame because this is some stunning work done in my favourite softwares: 3dsmax and VRay.
The artists have an amazing sense of composition, lighting, cinematography. There is no making of for “The Third and the seventh” yet but they made one for the previous “Kahn’s Exeter”.

I don’t need to read review websites before buying “Art of” books but I still love browsing this website for reviews of books I wouldn’t usually buy.

A first teaser for Disney’s “Tangled” finally surfaced on the net.
I am really liking the painterly rendering. It reminds me a lot of “Monstre à Paris”.
