Month: July 2013

Was this the horrible, unspeakable accident that sparked the genesis of the Melty Man?  Does it fully explain the back story of how Mr. Man attained his moniker?  Might it create a wealth of story-lines ripe for exploration throughout the first season of SpaceBase: Infinity?

Either those things, or we dropped the adjustable arm lamp entirely too deep into the set and blew out the image.  Great opportunity for ridiculous text effects, though.

Today, we fully assembled the next set, experimented with lighting (including some nice LEDs leaking through the window), and made King’s new sitting position.

In addition, we realized that if we leave clay out, the clay gets dry.  Hmm… that sounds familiar for some reason.  Looks like we’ll be remaking the character’s bodies again.  Hooray!

When everything is composited, the shot should look something like this (only, a little better):

Finally, a question to ponder… better rap “supergroup”: 213 or Westside Connection?

After a long hiatus, the SpaceBase:Infinity crew is back and hard at work… finally. The jerks.

And next on the list for scenes is one of the more unique sets we will be working with on this project. After much deliberation, we decided to go with a cross section of the SpaceBase interior, with the exterior showing at the same time (you can see a little of the base’s inner workings at the top of the above image). While a little technical and tricky, this should prove to be an interesting shot, which will make up for our lack of exposition and dialogue in the scene!

After crafting the majority of the Base’s set for this scene, we took a break to make some musics, and it was good. The crew of SB:I toiled away as we played our hearts out. Then we took another picture:

 

Until next time, when you will see more!
