We are pleased to announce our core team of seven very talented artists for modeling, rigging, and animation: Andrew Pray, Cosmin Planchon, Guillaume Côté, Sathish Kumar, Vyacheslav Yastrebcev, Timothée Giet, and Gorka Mendieta. They will be working on the “teaser trailer” for “No Children in Space” and some animation tests, all of which will be released during our Kickstarter campaign (which launches THIS FRIDAY – JULY 20TH – “MOON DAY”).
After an amazingly successful casting experience, it seems almost too good to be true that we have such a talented group of people working on the visual aspect of Lunatics, but it’s really happening. Andrew Pray is working mainly on character and clothing models. He’s currently working on Georgiana Lerner in her special child-size spacesuit. I did not actually expect to have this model available in the trailer, but we do! Guillaume Côté will be modeling the actual Soyuz descent module interior set with major components provided by Cosmin Planchon(who’s modeling the main control panel), Sathish Kumar(working on Georgiana’s special Kazbek-compatible “child-seat”), and Gorka Mendieta (the regular Kazbek seats and the rigging). Timothée Giet is animating the console display graphics as well as painting the exterior view for this sequence.
In addition, Vyacheslav Yastrebcev and Sathish Kumarwill be working on a test model for the lunar landing sequence much later in the film, which we’ll probably also release during the Kickstart.
I know I’m excited! 🙂
