L.A. River, a fast car… you know

Finally I’ve decided to finish one of the shots that are part of the chase sequence I was planning on doing.

Madoz reality

Jacobo Barreiro — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 18:37:38 +0000

Not too long after getting into 3D, I was fascinated by the fact of mixing real elements in a new context to come up with new meanings. A previous example of that is my Hope-Phone clip, which is actually not a phone. Back then, looking for references and inspiration, I’ve found Chema Madoz (actually, a good friend of mine and great artist told me about him), a Spanish photographer who I really admire now. I love his work and his ideas. So, ‘following that path’ is something that I’m very interested in, with the difference of using 3D instead of photography as the way to show those ideas.
This is the first one of several clips that I would like to do, as a tribute to Madoz. It’s based in one of his photos, hence one of his ideas.

F430 Under The Bridge – 1st test

Jacobo Barreiro — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 00:22:04 +0000

This is a short and rough preview to show how a car sequence that I’m working on is coming along. This is just the first test I’ve made and I’m still working on it. A lot of things to finish/fix/change/etc… Trying to find a way to make the motion blur to look good in post without motion vector passes, since the software I’m using doesn’t support them. It obviously doesn’t work very well for this shot in an automatic way, and trying to use tracking markers didn’t help much in this particular case either.
Kind of thinking about ‘The Gumball Rally’ (1976) while developing the shots… we’ll see.

Bot-Crab test shot – Work in progress

Jacobo Barreiro — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 21:51:00 +0000

This shot is another test for my animated short film A Robot’s Life, a personal project that I’m working on. The character in this shot is one of the three characters that are part of the story. The background is the exterior part of one of the main locations in the film. It will hopefully be finished after tweaking/fixing a couple of things and render it again in higher size/quality. Character animation by Jordi Girones aka “Giro”.

‘HopePhone’ Prop – Finished Clip

Jacobo Barreiro — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 11:06:59 +0000

This prop is part of one of the sets from my short film A Robot’s Life, a personal project currently in production. This is just a test, which means that this shot is not part of the story.
