Getting started

Ok, I'm starting this blog a little late, but better late then never.

My name is Bendik Holm Bottolfsen, and I'm a part of the group Playground Productions, with the two other members Sebastian Yttermo and Espen Wisur.
We are working together on our final project on our second year at the 3D film production cours at Noroff.

Just to let you catch up with what I've been doing so far, I can tell you that I am the conceptual designer on the group I'm in, and that I've been drawing a shitload of stuff. Lately it's been mostly storyboard (just to brag, I have in fact drawn all of the storyboard :D... except for the last frame which Sebastian on my group was so kind as to do :P)

Our story started with an Idea by Sebastian about a loser fastfood emploee, and just kept getting bigger. Me and Sebastian soon took control over the story development, and sat down to talk about what could happen in it, since Espen rather wanted to start doing CG testing. And after a couple of drafts (six or seven I think) the story was more or less done. Sebastian did all the writing (my hands don't agree with the keyboard).

After that Me and Sebastian sat down to create the storyboard. We discussed angles and stuff, and created thumbnails together and then I drew the finished frames. During this process we went over the story a lot and made some changes, and finaly yesterday we finished the storyboard. Wooohoo!! (Sebastian has a little more about the storyboard on his blog).

Now all we have to do is to put together an animatic, ship it of to a friend of Sebastian who might be able to compose the music and then we can start working on the previz and and som simple modeling and then we can start the real modeling and then we can start the skinning and then we can start the rigging, oh shit, I've forgot texturing, and then we can start animating and then we can start rendering and then we can start editing and then we can start....

shit....

Bean out!!
