Hey guys, JS here,

I’m finishing my studies at the “National Animation and Design Centre” in Montréal and I just wanted to share with you guys two short films I’ve been working on while I was at the school. I’m actually working on a third short short film (30sec) and then another special project I’ll present later in August

These projects were rendered using Softimage|XSI 7.01 but quite a few things were made in Blender.  For ‘ClockWise’, I had to produce my models quite fast..and Blender seemed the way to go for me so most of the desk stuff was made in Blender.  As for the 2nd video, titled ‘Pardon’, we had to find a way to make the paint appear on the ground and on the different object.  The production time was quite short, 6 weeks, so I brought back Blender and I used its Fluid Simulator to generate liquid-like white matte that I would use on the UVs of my model in XSI to indicate where the paint would show up.  We obviously used alot of compositing for the whole thing, and all of it was done in Fusion 5.3

So here we go:
Clock Wise
My Role on the production: Everything
