Topic: Rime of the ancient mariner

I'm not famous, nor very special animator, but I decided to make this thread as this is my WIP.

I have ended my animation "career" 4 months ago (but I've really not filmed anything since my last animation, from 2008), but I decided to make one more animation. This possibly will be my last animation EVAR.

But about the animation itself:
Rime of the ancient mariner is a poem written by someenglishguywho'snameIcan'tremember, and this film is based to that poem. In a short way: Mariner experiences "supernatural" things during his ship journey.

I have not read the poem (I did read the shorter version), so I don't know where it really takes place, but my film takes place in Caribbean, at around 1600.

Video length is ~5-7 minutes I think, and FPS 15.

I also made very short teaser, so you see what it's gonna look like mini/smile

Re: Rime of the ancient mariner

The chroma keying in this is quite good, but the foreground needs to be colour corrected better to make it fit with the CGI background. And don't use those titles, they are too hard to read

Thanks.

I made a little test with foreground coloring (I film with videocam, so I have to make color changes in editing program mini/sad)

Check it here!

I think there is rule for "no wnb-moderator-only posts" and "no giving hope that someone said somethign about your film" posts mini/tongue

But yeah, Jargon is right (and he might be even moderator, who knows mini/tongue), Jackson could give some feedback.
