That's the boat?

Nice Work, go ahead!

Is there a chance, that you integrate a 3d-version of gaucelms super cute Zoe?

No, sorry but I really like that drawing.

That's the boat?

We’ll find out in a few months

Hi : )


Have been very busy for the last 3 weeks. Couldn't spend much time on the film as I would like to, but I managed to move forward a bit.

[rob_c]

And here is another character. I didn't model hands because they won't be visible anyway



Some of you probably know from where I got the inspiration

[xesf]

Nicenone. How is the overall project going?

[rob_c]

Good, slowly but moving forward After I finish the sequence that I'm currently working on, I'll have one more to do. After that, I’ll have to make changes/corrections and create many new shots. Then there will be editing, creating sounds, music, etc. So there is still a lot to do but everything goes slowly forward.

Dino-fly paper model made by my wonderful dad : ) (Based on Horadrim's plans https://forum.magicball.net/showthread.php?t=13288 )

A quick update
I've been busy lately but I managed to generate a few shots. I was hoping to finish the whole sequence this weekend but it takes more time than I expected (there are almost 300 characters in this scene).

[rob_c]

It's harder and harder to give you something that doesn’t show too much



The film is growing slower than I expected (due to other life and professional duties and soon I will have a major renovation at home) but every week I’m making progress

[xesf]

Ahh, you need to shows more .
Pretty good looking Grobo, great model there.

Yeah, I know that feeling, but small progress is better than no profress at all so you are in the right path.

[rob_c]

Thanks xesf It's a very simple model. I keep it simple otherwise I would finish my movie in a few years : ) When I look at finished shots, sometimes I feel that the models and scenes look too simple, that I should go back and put more work on it, add more details. Not that I'm complaining - I'm having fun with it Especially when I'm doing something that we did not see in the game/cutscenes. It is possible that they will not suit the LBA style, but in the end, it's just a fan-made film

[xesf]

I won't mind too much about the details. If we see it well, LBA cutscenes or the game itself, it missed the details but I can say that it gives another simplistic touch.
They probably had other constrains, maybe time, technology, render time, etc., but they are still beautiful after 2 decades.

Hi everyone! Been a while since I posted here, good to be back
Just short info to those of you who are following my project: This project is NOT dead. For the last 10 weeks I have had a big home renovation (still not finished) and I simply couldn’t work on the film. I'll start to work on the movie in a few days.
So stay tuned, more stuff coming soon

[Neko]

great to hear!

[rob_c]

OK. Time for another pic


He’s my favorite character and I simply couldn't imagine this movie without him

[Phreak]

<3 Dinofly xxxxxx. Good work

[xesf]

Now, a zoom out version of that

It looks amazing, really well done.

[rob_c]

thanks, guys! glad you like it : )

[Neko]

looks really good!

[rob_c]

Thanks, man! : )

Jesse (Neko) is the only person here who knows what this movie is about. He saw some of the finished or almost finished movie scenes. He even did mock music to the materials I sent him – and I liked it; ) We talked about it, exchanged some suggestions but we haven't decided anything specific, it's too early for that.

I feel I owe you all an apology. When I started this thread I really believed that I’d be able to finish this film by the end of June. And I would (this is not a very big movie, maybe 5 times bigger than the lba3fan trailer I made many years ago) but you know how it is... life, work, home renovation... That’s why I don't set myself on any specific date anymore – will be finished when it’s finished ; )

OK, time for a short report ; ) At the moment I have about 60/70% of the film. I’m currently working on one of the last sequences.

[xesf]

Good to see you've been working with Neko.

No need to apologise, we all know how difficult it is to work on such projects on your spare time. 60 to 70% is a great achievement so far, not that far away :P

Keep it up!!

[Neko]

Yes and it is exciting to work on it, having said that this time I will start composition when the screenwork is finished A movie is so entirely different than a game. Movie music needs to support the screen.

[TommyGun]

When is the estimated release date of your animation movie?

[rob_c]

Hi : )
There is no specific date. The film will be made public as soon as it's finished

[rob_c]

Here we have Twinsen just before filming a demanding scene



He is so amazing to work with – he always does his own stunts and never has a double
