Yair Mor's Blog!

The International Freelancers Day starts tomorrow! It is a day full of lectures about freelance life and economy by professionals from the biz.

I’ve been working lately on my website Yair-Mor.com. I played with some ideas (which you can currently see on the site) but I eventually decided to discard them. The final idea takes my robotic kinda guy Hobby and puts him in a more sci-fi environment. He will get out of a giant cube and operate an oversized film projector, which will show video clips and demoreels.

So far I’ve been experimenting with several special effects on 3ds max and After Effects. I guess I’ll have to composite everything eventually to create a kick ass animation.

So here’s the storyboard. It’s just a general idea. While the environment will be heavily inspired by science fiction franchises like Starcraft, the main character, Hobby, will be heavily inspired by slapstick animation, The Neverhood style (accidentally, both of these games are my favorites).

And a few WIPs of the cube:

A test of the door’s animation:

And a few renderings of the projector:

These are all just previews, not a complete work. I will update as soon as I have more to show!
