Speech Animation Test Footage

Here's a bit of test footage for a Battlestar Galactica (tos) CG fan film I'm making for Dan over at BattlestarFanFilms.com.

This is part of a conversation between two smugglers who are about to sell something very valuable to a couple of guys with a colonial shuttle.

I did this about a year and a half ago.

excellent work mate.. how long did it take you to animate that

It was so long ago and I had only been using Carrara for a couple of days when I did this that I really couldn't say. I have no idea. Couldn't have been more than a few hours.

I do remember this though - for about a week after I did the voice of Grolaric (the green guy) my throat tasted like blood. I have no future as a 'Death Metal' singer. :laugh:

I not allowed even to sing in the tub .. the voice is good though .. perhaps sometime you will be asking here for volunteers for voice actors

I'm always in need of voice actors!

If you or anybody else is interested in doing some voice acting just PM me.
I'm going to be needing a handfull real soon for a BSG/Trek crossover.

if you like an Irish accent .. I'd do it..

The more accents the better.

Perhaps it's because I live in a country who's population belong to the world - not just one country - but I think it's very, very important to have lots of different accents in a 'film' - even an animated one.

Hell yes, I'd like to add an Irish one to cast.

I think you may have just become one of Viper pilots.

cool .. fame at last

Great work. Poser figures?

Daz Millennium People.

They are all actually the same M3SR2 figure with facial morphs and hair pieces.
I have Poser 7 but I hardly ever use it. I can't remember why I bought it. I think I was in a pinch and I needed an animal that came with it.

This was rendered in Daz 3d's Carrara Pro 6.
The avi version is much cleaner than the YouTube version.
I did have a high resolution version uploaded but it seems to have disappeard.
