Explanation
As some of you may already know one of our fellow Animators 'Luccas Bode' left this earth on March 22, 2012 to 9:45, multiple organ failure. Some of you might remember Luccas from winning a spot on last years '4-day competition' with his entry Disbalanced. Luccas touched and inspired many of us in this community. He was a true artist, great guy and will truly be missed.
Template
To pay tribute to him and celebrate his life I'm organizing a memorial service collaboration for users to express their feelings and pay their respects to our fallen friend in a fashion that he would truly appreciate. I've drawn a quick sketch of a field here with a memorial at the top. Click here down download the template.
Song that will be used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGtJ-71L9RU
We also will be using the DDC vcam to enable viewers to zoom in and out and see who is paying their respects. (example) http://www.fileize.com/files/78726c88/6fa/DDC-cam-test.swf
IMPORTANT: When animating your character you need to place text above their head that states your name so he knows who you are. BE SURE TO BREAK APART YOUR TEXT OR ELSE IT WONT BE THE TEXT YOU CHOSE.
- Your character can start anywhere from the left and walk to the right to the memorial.
How to enter
User will animate a character that represents them walking with their memento or tribute ( flowers, small statue, small item ) to place near the memorial then to walk and sit in the field.
You must animate your character at the size shown in the instructions on the file. This will allow enough room for many animators to create a part and truly show Luccas how many people he touched.
This does not have to be a depressing animation, we do want to celebrate his life. If this is something that is to difficult for some to handle in a respectful manner however, your part or entry will not be accepted. For those who wish to be a part of this but cannot animate they may submit text or a small note that I will have shown during the animation. I also urge each person who animates to send me a small sentence of their respects as well.
I will compile the parts and will answer questions here as well. I will also update this first post with answered questions.
NOTE: do NOT change the background as I will be designing the real-deal when I compile. I just threw that together so people can get started. Try and sit anywhere within the rings outside the first ring of the memorial where items will be placed.
RIP Luccas, you will be remembered!
