Film is set in a Bajaj Research & Development facility. As the night falls and the humans leave, few bikes get up and look around for some action. Their twinspark dtsi hearts pump up the power & a high-voltage game of basketball follows. As a security guard arrives to check on the commotion, the bikes just about manage to escape without getting caught. Starring Bajaj Pulsar 220, XCD 135 & Discover in lead roles. Created completely in 3D (only the guard is real), work on this Leo Burnett India film begun over an year ago. The motion data was generated by professional basketball players & acrobats at pinewood studios, UK. Top creative talent from across the world were brought together to create this life-like reality.

Short film about 2 lamps that fall in love. Although not very apparent, without love the lamp is destructive. Once the lamp finds love, he becomes subdued. This was my first attempt at a stop motion short. This was my “test reel” to see if I could animate a short film ala Ray Harryausen. My goal prior to this film was to create a stop motion dino picture like One Million Years BC, or Valley of Gwangi. See “Dino Dreams” for full contact dinosaur stop motion action. This one took a couple months to complete. I’m very happy with the results.

Conservation and renovation of ever-changing traditional objects, buildings, and culture are important issues. Thus studies on digital archives of those subjects are widely conducted nowadays in Japanese traditional performing arts and especially abuki. This form of art has been contriving and changing its style according to the shifts in stage sets, lighting, and stage form. Some parts of Kabuki production have been through significant changes, along with the long perpetuated parts. Kabuki is still developing day by day, and the most recent change is evident on a UPER kabukistage. All Kabuki actors are male so they have devised and improved their makeup, which has been playing a major role in the direction of Kabuki. Distinctive makeup, epitomized by umadori has been developed by actors according to the stage light shifts and form. This paper proposes methods to build-up Kabuki make-up archives. The main goals of the archives are to record, exhibit, and express the Kabuki make-up of the past, these goals will be achieved by exploring the proper techniques utilized. Data about Kabuki make-up, including cosmetics, materials and techniques, are collected in a historical perspective background, culture, manners and customs. Vital components to establish the archives of the Kabuki make-up are specified as well as the archiving methodology, face replicas and 3D CG selection. The archives of Kabuki make-up are made with consideration of data-exchange of both replicas and 3D CG. ————————————————- www.ainst.org
