Re: Challenge 697: The accordion bag
http://vimeo.com/260727900 There’s some amazing bags out there. I wouldn’t mind one of each! I particularly like the lyre one David. Gordon brilliant tea. Did you use a particle system to make it?  _________________ Dorothy: Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore |

Re: Challenge 697: The accordion bag
Hi Anna, Nice video and a beautiful guitar version of the Mary Hopkin song. Yes, I used a particle emitter for this. I had started working on a completely different idea and had created a bubble in Cinema 4D for it but then abandoned the idea when it wasn't working as I thought it should. Then I had the idea about the guitar as a tea pot and used the bubble in the particle emitter. I don't have a gravity deformer in my version of Cinema so I used a couple of deflectors as a work around to get the pouring effect. The movie of the pouring tea was rendered out in Cinema and brought into Hit Film to be colourised and composited. _________________  |

Re: Challenge 697: The accordion bag
I like the unexpected way you have turned the guitar vertical and removed the neck. Very believable. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Frank. That would actually make a fun guitar case. You could extend the idea for a whole range of instrument cases. Make your fortune ....... _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Great works. I've got one in progress, not brilliant, but just checked you've also not taken the gist. |

Right now this site is painfully slow, while other sites are fine. |

This site was very slow but just sorted itself out. False alarm? |

Re: Challenge 697: The accordion bag
The first bag of the week came from DavidMac, with a cleverly converted set of bagpipes. I like how her arm is poking between the pipes, and details like the closure strap added beneath her elbow. And the cymbal bag in the second entry is a good conversion, complete with clasp; but I think the lyre in the third entry is my favourite, mainly because it fits on her shoulder so well. You might want to rearrange that thumb, though. And a most entertaining fourth entry - a splendid pipe organ. And you almost got away with shearing those pencils; the rakish angle of the revealed top rather gives it away. I enjoyed lwc's xylophone, with its neatly stitched keys - and I like the slots for holding the hammer. The scrolling lyrics are a curious addition! Very taken with the second entry, the bugle rocket. Not quite a handbag, but I suppose it is a sort of container, as you say. Very nicely animated. I like the way Gerard has converted a timpani drum into a hot tub - and one apparently filled with milk. I'd move the woman to the right a little, though, so she has a surface to rest that other elbow on. (I learnt timpani at school, taught by an elderly percussionist with a vast beard stained yellow with snuff.) A seamless entry from Josephine Harvatt, with a speakeasy in full flow - and our gangster is either hiding a beer keg or a remarkably large machine gun. Curious way to wear a belt, though. A cute guitar bag from Frank, very neatly converted. I like how the passer-by is looking her way - but shouldn't she be looking at the bag? A fine animation from GKB, featuring a guitar, drum and cymbal - and an apparently bottomless cup of tea, constantly refilled but never drunk. An exceptionally well created stream of tea! Is that hand rather too large, though? I like the image of Trump blowing his own trumpet in the second entry, in particular the animated version. I'd like to see those bubbles refracting the flag behind. I won't ask how you made the soundtrack. I enjoyed Ant Snell's one (wo)man band shopper, with the accordion and drum acting as shopping bags. And, of course, each bag has a baguette poking out of it, which is mandatory for any library image of a shopping bag. Good slogan, too! A prettily embroidered guitar bag from tooquilos, its decoration reminiscent of the Mexican Day of the Dead. You might want to revisit the top of the trap, though, so it appears to be hanging from that hook. Is that woman with the purple hair in the animated version you? Love the sparkly eyes, and the back of the car scene. You really should get a bag like that. A regal entry from Mariner, very neatly composed with copious and complex shadows. That's a very discreet tambourine bag - you do have to zoom in to the high res version of the image to see it! Not sure about the white T-shirted throng under the arch, though - they seem a bit like cattle, somehow. But that's a fine flunky. If the skater at the bottom of the stairs is wearing a rucksack in Jota120's entry, it's somewhat hard to make out... but that's a rather glorious boombox on the other man's shoulder, which I think could have been converted into a bag without too much difficulty. Fun entries this week. |

Re: Challenge 697: The accordion bag
Thanks Steve. Probably a too literal response. The boombox has a handle on the top, but the final cropping hides it and agree the rucksack boombox could have been more clearly shown. |

That's really good! Shame it was so small in the final pic.
Ah... should've spotted that. |

Re: Challenge 697: The accordion bag
I found the bag to be a bit boring when finished, so I added the scrolling text in an attempt for a bit of quirkiness... Thanks! |

Re: Challenge 697: The accordion bag
The thumb quite simply never occurred to me until you pointed it out. The pencils I was only too painfully aware of. I spent ages searching for a diagonal arrangement without success. By the time i had failed and accepted I would need to do it myself I simply didn't have the energy to cut out every single pencil and perform the necessary offsets ..... so I sheared. I knew you wouldn't let me get away with it ....... _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
