I finally have a few days off after E3 and other miscellaneous projects. I haven’t had the time to post in months, but hopefully I can get caught up on what I’ve been up to.
First up is an announce trailer for a game called “The Unfinished Swan”. It’s an artsy game that will most likely be downloadable on the PlayStation Network.

I created the entire video, except for the book closing
animation at the end, which was handled by Sony’s San Diego studio. I also inherited the game models and some creature
animation from the game studio, but it required a significant amount of cleanup,
especially the swan.
The splatter effect was achieved mainly by using cameras to
project animation created with After Effects. I also used toon shaders to create mattes for the ink based
on camera and light positions at the frame of the splatter.
