Legacy Of The Gifted by Joseph Arumemi

Nov 04, 2008 in 3D Creations, Aiko News

Legacy of the Gifted is a Western Anime Cartoon Show created and Directed by Joseph Arumemi, The concept images used in this showcase is owned by the Director. These are two showcases amongst 25 other models and film sets developed by myself while working with Inverse Forge Studios. For 9 months, the project required me being the Creative Lead for the first pre and post-production Episode. I also went to Thailand for 2 months to work with the team and managing the work flow. I introduced new techniques, and innovations for speeding up the production. Alongside being innovative I worked alongside each artist fixing the mainstream problems, fixing bugs, editing and teaching methods to avoid these problems, and while I was doing these jobs I worked on every area from modelling, texturing, rigging to animating and compositing shots.

Special thanks to Joseph Arumemi (Director), Manny Vinea (Producer Inverse Forge Studios) and the team for this amazing experience.

Short Film NORA

Sep 17, 2008 in Aiko News, Animations

In 2007 Emmanuel Flossie (myself) worked on a short film named NORA as Lead Lip-Sync Artist. We used Live Action footage recorded down town London. We didnt use any tracking other then the eyes, and making sure that the projection are correct eliminating drop off, along side the projection various additional animations where added to the face.

The Story:

It’s about being fed a purpose in life and a dream, which the character believes will lead to her fulfillment and happiness then discovering  that it was given to her only to serve someone else’s needs (the humans)  but on discovering  that it leads her to create something new and ultimately more fulfilling than the dream she was given.

In july 2008 the short film has been showcased at Soho Short film festival.

Below you can see some early tests video footage and final images. (these are not final video`s, but early tests)

VFX Film shoot.

Jul 05, 2008 in Aiko News

Today i woke up at 4.30 to attend a Film Shoot, this is my very first official live action shoot i have been on. My job was to check if the angle of the shots are still correct according to the previouse calculations, for VFX duplication. There where lots of people, an amazing experience. And i got a cool staff t-shirt :D

So next week we are going to duplicate the crowd to create from a small stadium, to a very large one. Hence the usage of bluescreens. I learned lots of new things, which is great :) Good to bring forward to my following shoot.

Anyways here are some pic`s
