Hi, I'm back after almost three years in production with Jock-Animation. I have been working with Duncan MacNeillie for the past three years on the great adventure of Jock of the bushveld. We have grown so much and developed many tools to improve production pipelines and hope to lead the way in the film industry for South Africa.
We managed to script riggs for the film and produce multiple characters in weeks. From quadrupeds to bipeds and birds to incests we rigged them all. We also manage to develop our own stereoscopic rig in the time when the 3d platform was still an idea in South-Africa. Half way in the production after Duncan went to Annecy we decided to go 3D on the film. We have already rendered half the film and needed to add the right side (right eye) of the film to the render farm. In the schedule it looked almost imposible but like always we made it work and got going on the R&D and tests at Ster-Kinerkor. After our first 3d stereoscopic viewing at our local cinema and compiling our first DCP, it was just down hill from there.
If you want to see more on the project just go and check the website on www.jock-animation.com. Must say this was one of the best projects in the country so far and want to thank all that was involved with the project.
That me out...
