Gorillaz Rhinestone Eyes - Teaser 2



The second teaser clip from my Gorillaz Rhinestone Eyes fan video. This is the same clip that I released an animation test for a little while back, now in a much more finished state. There has been speculation that the clips released represent the sum total of all the completed work thus far, and I can assure you that is not the case. The video is coming along nicely, and the parts I choose to show are purely so that the fans can get a taste for what is in store.

      Hey spanish kid (lol, I need something else to call you) I estimate the video to be completed sometime this year, hopefully. But I do have a living to earn, and those projects do take up a long chunk of time, so you never know. Thanks for always checking out my work! I really hope Jamie and Damon see it too, that would be amazing! I have been a fan of Gorillaz forever, its one of the inspirations for me to get into animation.

      thanks louie! I am having a great time working on it. Animating on 2D as I write this comment. Are you in school for animation?

      That's awesome!! It's also really great how you're sticking to the storyboard closely and accurately! :D
      I did animation with Adobe Flash in lower high school, but they unfortunately don't have a class for it in upper high school (which I'm in now). Though I'm taking art, media and digital graphics courses which may help.
      Did you teach yourself, have someone teach you or be in a class for animation? :)

      Thanks again louie, yeah actually the fact that the animatic was so well realised was the only reason I considered attempting this project. Jamie's work is so amazing, that the key poses are practically done already. I wouldn't have wanted to tackle a more lose one, such as the animatic for 5/4. I think that you should try to pursue animation if it makes you happy, I learned flash from a classmate when I was 15, and didn't end up going to school for animation till my undergrad, but having the foundation already really helped! I also have a masters in CG animation but I feel like a lot of that could have been self-taught.

      ...well actually I heard someone was already attempting to make that video, and I have only seen very small snippets of it, but you can find their work on it if you do a little digging on google. They say it will be done by 2014, hopefully this video will be done around or before that time, and then we can check out the whole catalogue all together! It is amazing how Gorillaz has become almost a world wide collaboration between artists at this point.

      Animation definitely does make me happy, thank you so much for the encouragement! :D I do like the idea of self teaching. For this, what Macbook application do you think would be most helpful to learn 2D animation on?
      Wow! Masters in CG animation- that's fantastic! :D 3D animation and the model making looks hard- I guess that's why it really fascinates me. (I haven't been taught though, but have tried out the Blender application).
      Thank you for the information about a 5/4 video, I'm excited!
      Oh! And happy birthday to 2D from yesterday!! XD

      Cool! well blender and other 3D programs like it are a great place to start if you wanna learn that stuff. I think that flash is the best software to learn for 2D animation because it is just so versatile and there is a tone of online resources in the form of tutorials and stuff about it. Good luck Louie! Animation is a tough game, but I am always glad to hear of someone who wants to break into it! It's funny I actually heard from frameslinger, the artist creating the 5/4 video, and he said a fan told him about me...was that you? and if so, thanks!! haha
