Screen Shot Friday: 100924 ::

Reflecting on reflections: Here I attempt to match the sunglass reflect from a previous shot. I actually had to lower the color saturation on every element except the reflection. For the reflection I boosted the saturation to make it really pop on screen. Next I’ll likely add other goggle shiny elements.

Confieso que gracias a este sitio he podido aprender sobre los comic de calidad, especialmente lo que concierne al comic gringos no maistream (Y: the last man, The Authority, The Boys). Dentro de este grupo podemos incluir aAtomic Robo, comic independiente escrito por Brian Clevinger y dibujado Scott Wegener, que para la alegría de muchos recibirá su adaptación animada gracias al estudio The Fictory a través de un cortometraje que será conocido como Atomic Robo: Last Stop.

Whereas this spanish site wrote:

Lo scrittore Brian Clevinger, come anticipato sul suo sito lo scorso gennaio, ha confermato che Atomic Robo, la sua creazione per la casa editrice Red 5 Comics, con l’artista Scott Wegener, sta per ottenere un cortometraggio prodotto dallo studio di animazione The Fictory, intitolato “Atomic Robo: Last Stop“.

French, buzzmygeek.com says:

Petite découverte du jour que ce court métrage sur ce robot guerrier accomplissant des missions d’un genre particulier. Il y a un petit côté Hellboy version robot la dedans. Le style graphique n’est peut-être pas forcément incroyable, mais j’aime bien l’énergie qui se dégage de ces quelques minutes. Voici la description du projet faite par les producteurs de The Fictorys:

ATOMIC ROBO IN SECOND-TIER PRODUCTION ::


Weekend sessions have resumed for Postage sister-studio, “thefictory” in their creation of a short film, “Atomic Robo – Last Stop” which is an adaptation or even, an exclusive episode of the popular Red 5 comic series.

A quick stroll online would illuminate the comic’s uber-fandom, something creaters Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener don’t take for granted.  In fact, they carefully stoke and fuel the fires on their blog which contains everything Robo.

As far as thefictory is concerned, this is an ideal project to sink their teeth into for several reasons including it’s independent popularity but also the ability for a short film to increase it’s readership/viewership.  Many talented friends of Postage/thefictory have been working tirelessly to keyframe, tween, color, animate and anything else you can imagine would go into an animated short film.  It’s really amazing to see the animation staff here go into action and you can visualize a dotted line going from one computer to a light table into a pencil and back to another computer… a virtual, etheral assembly line. Daily video updates reveal that the work has a final destination and a purpose.

As with previous projects, Joseph and thefictory haven’t exactly set a finish date yet. When it is done it’s done. A comfortable change from commercial production work… it really allows them to finesse the project and bring it to it’s full potential.  You can keep up-to-date by visiting thefictory.com blog where Director Joseph Krzemienski keeps tentative eyes fed.
