Re: M&S "Paddington & The Christmas Visitor

[Jason S]

  
  

  The thing is, the requirement of many specialized & very
  technical artists over long periods of time can be especially
  resource intensive.
  And I think it's precisely why soft is still around.
  
  While of course not as prominently 
  (mostly I think because of the lingering "Quickly!" fear factor)
  
  But in those cases I think it's fair to say that it's mostly to
  circumvent the now I think rather unfortunate (and rather harsh)
  reality of things you describe ::
   “Get big, get niche or get lost”
  
  Some might find that as ideal, while others might find that as
  grossly inefficient and specific to the very few very big shops
  out there, which would definitely still have their place in a more
  diversified environment. 
  
  I too like both big and small,
   but see the small (yet "world class") as an equally important
  part as the big.
  
  I personally know of a number of shops (in my own local area) that
  basically closed up, not for failure to 'move-on' but quite
  directly -because- of the resources that 'moving-on' involved
  getting to finished results, while satisfying clients and making
  due all at the same time, ... and the whole sha-bang.
  
  Stories about not being able live-up to material on their own reel
  were abound.
  
  The small shops that are actually still around, are mostly the
  ones that went-on using soft
  (exceptions may apply)
  
  Rather unfortunate if you ask me,
  but fortunately Softimage is still around!

[Jordi Bares]

Thank you very much Jonathan, that is the biggest compliment I can hope for, 
surely we were aware of it and worked very hard to maintain the consistency 
with the film, a huge ask to be honest. All while learning the ins and outs of 
their procedures while moving at the fast pace of advertising.

Thank you once again, I will make sure I pass your note to the team, they will 
be thrilled our peers can see the love it has gone into it.

Speaking as an artist that understands the multiple pressures of pleasing
multiple stakeholders, you've pulled it off in droves. Paddington feels
very true to the character of the movies, the the depiction and art
direction relating to that particular part of West London remains very true
too. The biggest achievement for me is that the campaign feels a very
natural extension of the world created in the films. This is a major ask
with any movie/commercial tie-in, so to achieve it so naturally with a much
loved property such as Paddington, is a major accomplishment.

RE: Crank and piston rigging

[Morten Bartholdy]

One thing puzzles me though. I would have thought the Curve Param constraint 
could do what I have needed many times, ie constrain an object so it could move 
freely along a spline driven by something else by its other end, so to speak. 
Like a rod with a ring at the end hanging from a wire - you can pull the other 
end of the rod and it will only be able to move along the wire.

I guess this requires a more complex system where the curve parameter is 
somehow driven by the object that drives the animation.

Re: M&S "Paddington & The Christmas Visitor

[Jordi Bares]

I hope there is a making of to show what was done, because it was very very big 
project and required an army of artists.

Just look at the hair/cloth multilayered details, the effects, the number of 
props to replicate perfectly (the sleigh to start with) and all the fx on 
Paddington contact with the show… lots and lots of it.

My biggest insight was to see a film pipeline at full speed on Paddingto2 and 
others, up close and being able to compare it with a typical advertising one. 
Inspiring to say the least.

Loved it! Absolute top notch work, and kudos to everybody involved!
I can only hope you got a decent time schedule to do all this in ;)

Would love to hear more on the production side of things, as it sounds 
very interesting. :)
