Dominance War V - Animation - Uroboros - Vladimir Yarmolik

[Vladimir Yarmolik]

Hello, guys,
it took me a lot of time to come up with an idea for this animation contest and now I am ready to realise what I have in mind. I am not entirely sure if the plot follows all the rules of DW5. I want my God to be infinite, but I wonder if I can make him copying himself (endlessly)

[washka]

Good luck with your entry man, your last animation one for the warming was amazing.
Copy layers could be a solution?
=> Different scene tracks/ render with alpha/ then superpose compile in same serie.

[hulahuga]

Well if it is the same god then sure, then it is just a trick of mind and or nature... The problem would be if they are twins and such because that is stated explicitly in the rules...

Let's see some wips man!

[Vladimir Yarmolik]

Washka, not sure what you mean - me no Inglish )
And as requested here is a video of wip (be careful video with sound )

Nice one!

Didn't you do something similar in that b and w style in your warm up entry? Great that you continue in the same fashion!

[Vladimir Yarmolik]

Thanks! So, you think I am not breaking any rules here.

I did not do a silhouette video in a warm-up - it was Bigtoe, I did shooting and smoking general.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

yeah, that was me. Don't get Him confused with me. That's not fair to Vlad.

[washka]

Last clip is really dynamic, like that, keep it up!

[hulahuga]

Oh that's right (sry both of you :))



Regarding the rules I can only say what I think and regarding rules they are all in reality subject to the whim of the judge...


I think you should read through the rules again and find out what they exactly say as well as what they mean (in two different examinations)

[Puckducker]

Looks great, like Washka mentioned it's already feeling pretty dynamic.

Not quite following the story too much, but overall feels good.

[Vladimir Yarmolik]

Sorry for delayed reply. I have been working on a video non-stop for the last few days since the deadline is very near and I am still not happy with the result. I really wanted to make a post with a video today, but I still have not put it together.
Thank you for warm words.

[Vladimir Yarmolik]

Here is a new WIP. Still needs a lot of work before render. This time the video has no sound due to alterations.

last sleep 48 hours ago. )

[Pockets]

killer man, i really like the style of this! nice animation :cool:

[squarefighter]

I really like the 2D opener. It reminds of the the old nintendo game, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zelda_II:_The_Adventure_of_Link) There's a part where you have to battle your shadow, and there's some flashy lights like that.

[hulahuga]

ooooh, interesting twist there. Keep this up after you've had some sleep man! :)

[Vladimir Yarmolik]

Finally, it is finished. I managed to render it just on time with the resolution 720p, which seems to be too small, but there is no time and render takes forever, so I have no choice but to post it as it is.

Good luck to all the participants!

Vladimir! Excellent idea!

It is the most malicious animation work! Very tough, For a long time I didn't see a similar thing!

Your friend D. ))))

:evil:

[Puckducker]

Great job Vlad, I think the silhouetted opening turned out fantastic. Really strong animation that reads well and has some good punch to it.

Good luck on the voting and congratulations on finishing!

[Vladimir Yarmolik]

Thanks for praising my animation, guys.
I just realised that the logo in a video does not read well. I have a big screen on my working computer and watching the video on a laptop is very different from it.

[Vladimir Yarmolik]

Finally, I rendered my video in HD.

[Barnaby]

Looks great so far. Will keep looking.

[squarefighter]

Just saw the team results, congrats! Good luck on the final judging.

[Vladimir Yarmolik]

Thank you! I am so glad the competition is finally over.
Looking forward to final judging myself. Hopefully, the results will be different from public voting.

[prosn]

Congratulations buddy......excellent work...you deserve it :)

[hulahuga]

Congratulations man, really quite unique animation in its sense of style!

[Tom-3DT]

congrats!!!!! and please claim the very rare 'platinum eye' award for your achievement!

[Vladimir Yarmolik]

Thank you, guys, for the attention and support of my entry during its making. I have enjoyed posting my wips here and waiting and reading the comments, an experience I never had before, since I used to rely on the opinion of my friends and colleagues only.
I am glad that Fred managed to conclude the competition before the end of the year.
Hopefully something good comes out of this for me. )

[MonteCristo]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you picked up a 1st place and a 3rd place in one Dominance War..?

That's a huge accomplishment. Very glad to see that your cigar smoker anim got first in the mini challenge. I loved that one. Big congratulations to you!

Merry Xmas.

[Vladimir Yarmolik]

Believe it or not, but I have not noticed the results of the mini challenge. Thanks for pointing out! I am super-extatic now.
I know the video with the general is nice and clear, I wished I listened to fellow participants about the second video - it was confisuing. I was hoping that the name Uroboros, God of Eternal Return explains the idea, but obviously it was not enough.
Anyways, I am happy, and this is something I am proud to shout about. ) Another little gold medal for 3D Total.

[Vitrux]

CONGRATULATIONS MATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance:

[ransomInK]
