Virginia’s Facial Rig

January 14th, 2010

I wrote a post in Mercator Project’s blog about the facial setup of one of the leading characters “Virginia”.

I’m copying all the explanations from the post here.

Is Plumiferos going to be premiered ?

January 13th, 2010

Recently a Facebook page about Plumíferos showed up informing about an imminent premiere date: February 18th 2010. Some people have congratulated me on this, and some others asked me if this is true or just another false rumor. Since I didn’t know whether to be happy or not in the first case, or whether if it was true or false in the second, I decided to return the salutations with real data.

Since I do not have any contacts with the producers at Manos Digitales, studio I’m detached from since a couple of years now, I didn’t have any news on the subject. However, I do have a friendly relationship with Plumíferos’, director Daniel De Felippo, someone I respect deeply.

I met him, and the conclusion is that the producers do have in mind to premiere the movie (which was incomplete a year and a half ago) next February. In fact, the studio was working secretly, without telling anyone not even the director, all past year. Almost like an army of tiny elves.

When I left the production, there was nearly 80% of the movie finished. 90% of the animation was blocked, a few scenes needed to be lightened, and only around 20% of the shots were rendered/composited, maybe more.

Plumíferos was going to be the first 3D movie made with FLOSS, even more, it was going to be the first argentine 3D movie ever done. Today it can still be, although those who finish it are not the same who started it. My sincere congratulations to the team that took the torch and guided to good harbor our most pampered creature.

However, little or nothing has been said officially. There is no big promotion. Actors and actresses do not show up in TV shows giving interviews about it, and the producers do not show their faces in any media. In fact I have only heard about it to a couple people completely external to the original production team.

I do hope the movie get to the theater this February. I’m proud of the work I’ve done. I did it honestly and have nothing to regret but my own human mistakes.

Hope we all can watch it soon !
