In the future, when I plan new video projects, I can think about delivering in as many formats as possible without too much additional work.Īlso, I’m not a modeller, as I much prefer to spend my energy building sets and directing action and animation. iClone also gives the option of exporting animation in 360 video, and in anaglyph stereo. I would not have believed it would grow to support things like face and body motion capture, curve editing, 8K, PBR and other visual effects. While its learning curve has remained shallow, the iClone toolset has evolved exponentially since the 4.0 version. It would not be possible to for a small studio to generate dozens and dozens of CGI worlds without a super accessible CGI tool like iClone. There is a huge technological leap from our first DV skits to our last 360 video. In it, I had the opportunity to both motion capture Jaymz and greenscreen him into a series of 360 worlds based on the movies Scarface and The Matrix. (back then we were shooting on DV tape!) Last year we did an amazing 360 music video, called “ Guns Kill Guns“.

Many years ago I did my first iClone 4 greenscreen compositing tests with Jaymz’ comedy troupe. The other half consist of music videos and comedy skits done with green screen and CGI.

Half of our projects are “straight-up” video documentation of concerts and events. A mutual friend showed Jaymz some of my earliest green screen work, and since then we have collaborated on numerous video projects. The band is led by Jaymz Bee, a well known Canadian radio host and jazz impresario. I was tasked with creating a series of music videos that would complement the South Pacific themes. The Tiki Collective is a group of popular jazz musicians and vocalists who have just released a new album called “ Muse“.
