He uses an old film industry model making technique called 'kitbashing': (from wikipedia) Kitbashing or model bashing is a practice whereby a new scale model is created by taking pieces out of commercial kits. These pieces may be added to a custom project or to another kit. For professional modelmakers, kitbashing is popular to create concept models for detailing movie special effects. Commercial model kits are a ready source of "detailing", providing any amounts of identical, mass-produced components that can be used to add fine detail to an existing model. Professionals often kitbash to build prototype parts which are then recreated with lightweight materials.[1] For the hobbyist, kitbashing saves time that would be spent scratch building an entire model.
Sometimes source kits are selected primarily due to kit quality, and sometimes because a kit closely resembles the desired model result. A popular venue for kitbashing is diecast emergency vehicles such as fire apparatuses. BLDGBLOG. My Modern Metropolis. Juxtapoz Magazine. 3D Teaching, Training and Products. Congratulations to Michael Rinnan for winning the Five Second Project for March. His entry had a great concept and was outfitted with excellent lighting, atmosphere, camera movements and sound design. We wanted to know a little bit more about Michael’s entry, so we asked him a few questions regarding his workflow and the process for creating his winning piece. Where do you work? What is your title? Tell us about what you do at your company. I am a 3D generalist at NFL films in Mt.
How did you come up with your concept for the Bright Lights Five Second Project? For my concept, my goal was to come up with a quick story I could tell in 5 seconds. What was the most challenging thing about your project? The most challenging part of this project was honestly the lighting. Tell us a little about how you achieved the zolly (push-pull zoom) effect. To achieve the zolly, I initially mapped out the motion of the motorcycles with a spline and then dropped a camera onto that motion path.
