Alien Flyboy is the final project for Mark Kaufman's Digital Video class part 2. I had done so much video wok for this class before I got to the final production of the Alien Flyboy I decided to make it mostly 3D. I was a part time student back then so there was plenty of time to work on my homework. I was taking 3D animation class at the same time I was taking this class so that was a big help. The space whole thing was made in Maya, with help of Photoshop and After Effects. I learned how to animate in After Effects in Digital Video Class part 2 and I have not looked back. After effects is the best way to animate with or with out digital video. I mean I could make a Who Killed Roger Rabbit type movie myself now. My wife stars in this animation too. The whole animation is based on a comic I made in the late 1980's. In the DVD I put the story board, the animatic, and a animation with the original comic, I even put in cut scenes of me and my wife laughing. For the scene where my wife is floating above mars she stood there in her old army uniform and I cut her out in Photoshop and used After Effects to do that scene. Allot of Maya Textures in this animation. The Alien ship was a version of the first in class project for 3d animation part two. I added a offset Photoshop tiff of the actual alien space ship from the movie Independence Day. The texture for the planet mars was taken from actual mars pictures from back in 1995 when I was a Internet expert. The earth texture is from a earth picture. The lighting effects are a flash light with a plastic cover colored. The colored lights are us shaking a bunch of Christmas lights. Funny it was almost Christmas when I made this and I am posting this and it is almost Christmas and I am listening to my favorite band from my childhood Thin Lizzy "The Cowboy Song". What does all this mean? You tell me.
