ooh ahh
more like a Sunstreaker, and I swear he's about to stumble backwards and fall over at the end.

good stuff

Grimbot · 05-21-2007, 07:27 AM

Cool.

You should e-mail it to Bay.

Michael Bay's got an e-mail filter that blocks out all fan mail....

MSmith · 05-21-2007, 07:31 AM

Overdrive: Oh dear, I hope he doesn't fall over.

Grimbot: Sure, you have his email address?

Thankheaven: Awwwwww......too bad. I wonder if Mr. Bay will actually see it. Pretty sure he's a little too busy right now to look at some guys "fan art".

I'm just waiting for Jester's call when he gets the green light (but I'm not picky, I'll work on Bay's sequel too

).

Michael, it really is an honor to be talking to you. I do believe if it wasn't for you, there wouldn't be the Citrion ad's and if that never had happened, Don Murphy and Tom Desanto wouldn't have even looked at Transformers.
I could thank you for years on end, but I wouldn't want to bother you.
But I will say "Thank you" once. You've done so much for us Transformer fans, you should be so proud of yourself

*Thumbs up*

Jetplague · 05-21-2007, 09:07 AM

That is awesome stuff man. And really...I would have been more happy if it looked just a bit more like that. Too bad.

Me too. Work is work.

Awesome work!

Peace,

Jetplague · 05-21-2007, 09:12 AM

I think I've watched this animation more times then Bay's Transformers trailer. It reminds me so much of the Sideswipe test animation...I remember being so impressed with that...gave me such hope that the film would be just like that. Damnit all.

Oddacidtea · 05-21-2007, 09:23 AM

Great animation. Too bad the head isn't rigged with blend shapes or a neck pivot yet.

Spanbauer · 05-21-2007, 09:29 AM

Definitely the best 3D fan art I've seen. because, well, this one actually does something besides stand there and transform in place

Well done, sir.

cyco · 05-21-2007, 09:29 AM

Nice work! really liked the animation.

Awwww.....you're making me blush. I'm pretty sure it would've been made anyways, the fanbase is to devoted to deny them a movie. But glad I could help in my own small way.

Thanks. I assume you're talking about the movie...cheer up-A list budget, A-list director, A-list writers, A-list special effects, and a producer that actually cares what the fans think = A summer blockbuster experience you won't soon forget. I can't wait.

Maybe in one of the many, many sequels to come.

Getting paid is nice too.

Wow, if you're like me...that means you've watched my animation HUNDREDS of times! There's more stuff on my website too (shamless plug).

The head is rigged and has blend shapes. I tried the animation with him turning his head in anticipation of the turn, it didn't look as good. And his expression changes just as he turns his back to the camera.

Wow, there's a lot of good stuff out there, so I appreciate that.

I've watched your video a hundred times, too. It's phenominal.

Yep, the dynamic transformation is the thing that shifts it from the amateur to the professional level.
