Tales of Butter: april 2012

Yesterday I attended a 25-hour animation marathon! I spent 7 hours creating a short hip-hop dance battle thingie, might not be the best animation ever but it was loads of fun to play around with crazy moves.

Without further ado! (I will post a new version later on when the studio responsible for the marathon has had a chance to light and render it!)

Photos from my running route

I'm trying to get myself running! If anyone is interested, this is the route I run. I've kept it up for three weeks so far, holding my thumbs I can keep it up for several more weeks! (or even months...)

The studio

It's taken a long time, but here are some photos of our studio! We're on the top-floor of a building, and well... it's only us here on 600 square meters right now! Lots of room for running around and capturing references for animation. :)

We mainly only use three rooms though. One is for administration, one for programmers and techy people and one is for the artsy people. As you enter the rooms you notice pretty soon which is which. The walls in the artsy room is covered with concept art, storyboards and well... badly photoshopped images of Abba. (yes that's me on the far right)

While the tech room (also room for the music and sound designer) stays true to its origins. Also it's empty because I went around and took these photos at 7pm somewhere. The art people have a loooot to do right now, so there are always people staying until 11pm at least...

Let's continue to the rest of the house! We have a kitchen that's pretty useless at the moment, we don't have any microwave or kitchenware... but we can cook coffee for the addicted ones at least. We also have a meeting room where we do our morning meetings everyday. On Fridays we gather there to have Show and Tell of the work done during the week.

I'll wrap this post up with a photo of the house where we live! We have the top floor here too. I have the room on the opposite side of the house, with a beautiful view over the rest of Copenhagen. Sometimes living far out on a peninsula is not that bad!

TBC this weekend...

Life and work is taking up a bit too much time! Last weekend I went home to my parents and hung out with them and my boyfriend for my birthday.

I came back to the studio on Tuesday, and has since then been working day and night (or well, evening) on animating one of the characters for the game... I have loads of photos to show and ideas to write about, but that will have to wait until the weekend.

Just popping in to say that I'm still alive. :)
