2D Wednesday “Brutus the Bound” from Exit 73 Studios

  By

A nice trailer for a series called Brutus the Bound from Joe Colson who we interviewed last year.

Very reminiscent of Samurai Jack (in a good way)… and it makes me want to see more!

Brutus, a great warrior from a distant planet, is ripped from his past and taken to the future of an evil Overlord. The Overlord holds Brutus’ family hostage, and binds Brutus in a temporal harness, forcing him to become an Infinite Gladiator, fighting opponents throughout time and space.

What is your name and your current occupation?
I’m Luca Mari, cut-out animator, motion graphics and 3D generalist. I’m also a co-founder of StudioASC, a creative team specialized in pre-visualization and illustration for advertising, film and TV commercial, located in Milan, Italy.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I did a lot of jobs before landing in this Studio, like working for an assurance office or as a Graphic and video editor in a small TV company. I’ve been even a barman and radio station director… I can’t tell you which was the craziest job… but what’s sure is that I always had a lot of fun and met plenty of strange people!

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
Well… I don’t know… every week it’s a new adventure, and I try to do every work with my maximum effort. In the past, founding and starting a new radio station was really a wonderful experience in my life.

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
I ‘ve changed many works, and the most of them didn’t have much to do with the animation business. But the course of my professional life has a thread: Continue reading

What is your name and your current occupation?
David Boudreau, Animator/designer for Other Ocean.
What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I scooped ice cream and did peoples laundry at a ice cream shop/Laundromat called the “Dairy Clean”… I’m not lying … it was actually called that. Needless to say I did not last at that job for very long.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
Well, first off, I would have to say Kroyer films, “Ferngully, the Last Rainforest” in Toronto back in 1991. It was my first job and introduction to the business where I met and worked with some of the best animators, such as Darlie Brewster, Charlie Bonifacio and Chuck Gammage to name a few, as well as working for Bill and Sue Kroyer, who I eventually worked for in California, two years later. Years later, in 1998, I animated for Dreamworks on such films as “Prince of Egypt”, “Eldorado”, “Spirit” and finally “Sinbad”. I cherish my experience on all of these films and worked along side of some of the most talented artists. I’m very proud and humbled to have worked among them.

How did you become interested in animation?
To be quite honest, I was never really interested in animation as a career. It wasn’t until a family friend suggested I consider it because of my love for drawing (plus I had very little options that I was interested in).  As a kid, I dreamed of Continue reading

3DCutout

  By , ,

I’ve just become aware of a plugin for 3D Studio Max called 3DCutout which you use in conjunction with Photoshop (or any other drawing program I would think) which essentially lets you animate Flash or Harmony type cut out animation using a custom interface in 3D Studio Max. You can rig characters, create and library assets and of course use the 3d camera. It looks REALLY cool! Check out the clip above!

What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is Hector Lopez and I’m a character animator/game developer.

 

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I did quite a few jobs in my days before getting into animation. The craziest I would have to say when I worked for a food distribution company. My job was a material handler working inside a freezer stacking pallets with frozen meats. We walked in there looking like Eskimos since the temperature inside was 0 degrees. I worked there for several months while I was in school. After a couple months I got used to it. Being inside a room at 0 degrees doesn’t bother me anymore. Unfortunately, since I was in school full time I could not keep up working there since it was a graveyard shift. School came first.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
I’ve worked with several animation studios on loads of projects. The projects I had most fun on was doing flash animation on “Cheech & Chong Animated Music Video”, facial animation on “Red Dead Redemption” and “GTA IV Ballad of Gay Tony” for xbox 360 and PS3. I always enjoyed playing games like Grand Theft Auto and all Rockstar games for that matter.

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
I was born and raised in Los Angeles. After finishing up my studies in animation I started Continue reading
