Together with the new version of <b>Marshland</b>. I hope to do a better job of posting news about my work on the new website/blog. If you are still interested in what I do these days, please visit:<br />

I've also set up a Facebook artist page that should be kept more/less in sync with new <b>Marshland</b>. If you prefer Facebook you can find me there:<br />

At the same time I won't be posting any more updates to this blog (not that it will make any difference seeing that the last post was almost 3 years ago). Thank you for following my work and I'll hopefully see you on the new sites :)Lukasz Pazerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07847259770626367002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652223144597829375.post-29983037065485419282014-06-26T06:27:00.000-07:002014-06-26T06:27:23.635-07:00TechFusionIt's a bit late notice but tomorrow (27th June) I'll be giving a talk about my Auto Character Setup development at TechFusion in Szczecin, Poland.

Probably why I haven't been posting pretty much at all during that time. The biggest project was <b>Auto Character Setup</b> - an auto rigging plugin for Luxology modo that I had been developing over last 18 months or so. The plugin was finally released in mid-march 2013. The last 2 weeks of work before release were probably the hardest working days I have had for a long time. But it was worth it.<br />
I'm into digital character animation and programming A LOT, I just love to code and I want to take ACS much further. Time will tell. Meanwhile, you can read about and buy <a href="http://www.luxology.com/store/kits/acs/">Auto Character Setup</a> via <a href="http://www.luxology.com/store/kits/acs/">Luxology website</a>.<br />

That particualr pitch didn't win but I quite like 2 images that I did for Pete Candeland's treatment. So I thought I would show these forgotten designs. You can see that the first one is partially based on one of my personal artworks ("Forest").<br />

There wasn't much time so I only did a couple of images. Still, working with <a href="http://nottoscale.tv/director/ubik/">Ubik</a> directors Nick Losse and Ste Dalton was a really good exprience. "Wizards vs Aliens" were aired at least a few months go so I thought I would show some of these designs. See the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg7cJIf8JSg">drama trailer</a> on YouTube.<br />

Kilka miesiecy temu zostalem zaproszony do wystapienia w produkowanym przez <a href="http://www.wix.com/fundacj5/klatka-po-klatce">Fundacje Nowych Ujec</a> magazynie telewizyjnym o animacji zatytulowanym "Klatka po klatce". Odcinek z moim udzialem traktowal ogolnie o technice animacji 3D. W trakcie rozmowy prezentowalem fragmenty "Psow Strefy" oraz filmu animowanego "REF". Zaprszam do obejrzenia programu.<br />
<br />
A few months back I was invited to take part in "Frame after Frame", a local TV Magazine about animation, produced by <a href="http://www.wix.com/fundacj5/klatka-po-klatce">Fundacja Nowych Ujec</a>. My episode was about 3d animation in general. It's all in polish unfortunately but you can have a look at some "making of" materials from Dogs of Zone and my shortfilm "REF". Enjoy :)<br />

REF, apart from being my graduate film at Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow in Poland, ended up being huge character animation study. I knew very little about character animation prior to starting this project and it proved to be quite a challenge. I even wrote custom software to handle animation which I then turned into commercial product and had been selling for some time. <br />
The inspiration for the film itself was the beauty of martial arts movements ( especially Aikido ) and my desire to see B action movie scene in a bit more artistic way, without the usual revenge plot ;)<br />

The sound was designed by my brother Maciej Pazera. <br />
In the end, the project is meant to be an interactive animation installation and right now I'm working on a custom software that is going to drive animation based on the input from Microsoft Kinect (XBox 360 controller and motion sensor). Yeah, I'm coming back to my programming days ;) It's early stages but already quite exciting. The next step is to put together a prototype of the application together with a simple animation sequence, possibly based around this very sample.<br />
<br />
I embedded Vimeo video below but I highly recommend switching it to HD and watching fullscreen straight from Vimeo website. It's got far better quality this way.<br />

This painting is acrylics on canvas, 120x100 cm and can be considered a part of "Postcards From The Zone" series. It isn't very new, I did it in 2009 but wasn't really convinced about it in the beginning. It's been growing on me since and it seems to reasonate well with some of my friends who have seen it on my wall too. So here it is...<br />
<br />

That is one of the elements of my PhD project. I've been trying different approaches and testing how they work with moving pictures and I believe I'm getting close to finishing this research now. "A Horde" and a couple of last dogs were created with a workflow that can be applied both to static images and to animation. You can't really appreciate it with a single image but I hope it'll make more sense once you see things moving.<br />

This piece, just like previous ones, was directed by <a href="http://shythesun.tv/">Shy the Sun</a> and produced by <a href="http://www.passion-pictures.com/flash.html#page=p1">Passion Pictures</a>. It was quite a big job for me - colour designs, some initial layout work on the big turnaround shot and a few matte paintings on different shots. The most fun to paint was the dark cloudscape in the last sequence with Mad Hatter's house and the tea party (as seen on the thumbnail below). Click the image to watch the trailer on YouTube.<br />

It will not consist of still images only, I'm planning to incorporate my interests in other mediums and technologies but I'd rather not speak too much before I get well past initial stages of the work. Meanwhile, one more Zone creature.<br />

Basically, these are quick and loose sketches that are done to help visualise scenes better. The focus is on color and light, not on models or details. They usually go through a couple of revisions. Sometimes they end up quite close to final work and sometimes not. Commercials production is probably more freestyle and organic then movies so there is more margin for changes throughout the process.<br />
First two images come from the second Alice trailer (look for links a few posts back) and were done with Passion's Stu Hall who was supervisor on the job. Third image was done for the first trailer.<br />

Anyway, it's out now and my part was... you'll never guess... matte paintings! I've done a lot of work on this one, skies (surprise ;), hills, grass and the big, dark, bad cloud which was especially fun. Pretty much every shot has something I worked on. I also animated the dark cloud matte paintings and this animation was later mixed with CG particles simulations for enhanced effect. Overall, good memories of loooong, busy summer time days in the Passion Pictures studio ;)<br /><br /><a href="http://vimeo.com/14958237"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lUmzXe6nIoM/TKozckK_f8I/AAAAAAAACK0/dd6huFwUqtE/s400/CokeInvasion_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524284458762469314" border="0" /></a><a href="http://vimeo.com/14958237"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lUmzXe6nIoM/TKozrvAevNI/AAAAAAAACLE/OPAvT25ya9Q/s400/CokeInvasion_3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524284719369206994" border="0" /></a><a href="http://vimeo.com/14958237"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lUmzXe6nIoM/TKoznNiPyHI/AAAAAAAACK8/hK6H5nAwbok/s400/CokeInvasion_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524284641664551026" border="0" /></a>Lukasz Pazerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07847259770626367002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652223144597829375.post-59245701259033732572010-09-28T04:46:00.000-07:002010-09-28T05:04:11.221-07:00Alice: Madness Returns Teaser 2Second teaser for this upcoming EA game is online. Done at Passion Pictures and directed by <a href="http://shythesun.tv/">Shy The Sun</a>. I got my usual job on this piece - I did a couple of color scripts together with Stu Hall who supervised the look on the project and then I painted London backgrounds based on those scripts. I also painted the Puppet Theater cut-out set which unfortunately you can't see in full glory in the final cut ;). I hope I'll be able to post original color sketches and mattepaintings soon!
