Burtt has his stamp on tons of legendary flicks and characters. A short list of some of his work:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">The light saber in "Star Wars": The feedback from a malfunctioning television set and the whirring of an idling film projector.<br /><br />The whip in "Raiders of the Lost Ark": Recording of an actual whip, which at one point Harrison Ford demonstrated on the side of the road in San Anselmo. The "whooshing" sound of the whip in the film is a Harrier jet.<br /><br />The TIE Fighter engine in "Star Wars": Combination of an elephant's roar (slowed down considerably) with the sound of a car driving fast on a rain-slicked road.<br /><br />The cockroach named Hal in "WALL-E": Hal's voice was composed of sped-up raccoon noises, and the sound of his feet skittering along the floor was made by clicking handcuffs - recorded with the help of Burtt's police officer neighbor.</span><br /><br />I thought he was totally showing off in Wall-E and I loved it!<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZRPHp3UxvA&eurl=http://ozgani.blogspot.com/">ABSORB!</a>Oz Ganihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01454247105049005008noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659027511492437295.post-39055697471674301672008-06-17T17:09:00.000-07:002008-12-13T22:08:51.628-08:00Meet the Sniper<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMzpxrSaX86lYnrwUv2Z4hyphenhyphenQoU6e1ZD5_TDOt0h9dgsNt9OyqnKCIkEFIVKXQRcSfBXAgndxyEXA2h6wueBIUFXFl4BrFN4jvtrdv_PpAe49nODDs23vamUl0TFYT7sWc42rfa2bG1Cp8/s1600-h/tf2_sniper.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 176px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMzpxrSaX86lYnrwUv2Z4hyphenhyphenQoU6e1ZD5_TDOt0h9dgsNt9OyqnKCIkEFIVKXQRcSfBXAgndxyEXA2h6wueBIUFXFl4BrFN4jvtrdv_PpAe49nODDs23vamUl0TFYT7sWc42rfa2bG1Cp8/s320/tf2_sniper.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279455222552078818" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK7Ft2TtsVsDz03MwTyROA2KR1xYmiyKqKmw_vfY4An5v-3lEOA4cjywy3odvZ8pAywYnffdwOaoJEO6X3vhuu6liSQorBQfmjaUmrCFE8Ll82-Ij7CqYfodL9mly_Zjh9dENsC7Pa4wg/s1600-h/mtsqi3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK7Ft2TtsVsDz03MwTyROA2KR1xYmiyKqKmw_vfY4An5v-3lEOA4cjywy3odvZ8pAywYnffdwOaoJEO6X3vhuu6liSQorBQfmjaUmrCFE8Ll82-Ij7CqYfodL9mly_Zjh9dENsC7Pa4wg/s320/mtsqi3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279455224116909058" /></a><br />I'm trying to kick 2 addictions...coffee and Team Fortress 2.<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owfcn-wdyJo&eurl=http://ozgani.blogspot.com/">HEADSHOT!</a>Oz Ganihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01454247105049005008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659027511492437295.post-5925430133796472122008-05-11T03:33:00.000-07:002008-12-13T18:04:45.529-08:00Art of the Title "Se7en"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1idgxv38xx9KCXxh3U1StJ36hsvw985rmJ0oUzI5DjkgRptw1BI1XsdyJvbCGW058ctm0g-WguSgEPfX4OtgQefON547ZQ56Nc7i-33FS18b3JFEcr5wuLKaBbMK9gDlHxP0Cd0pt5Wo/s1600-h/sevencredits.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1idgxv38xx9KCXxh3U1StJ36hsvw985rmJ0oUzI5DjkgRptw1BI1XsdyJvbCGW058ctm0g-WguSgEPfX4OtgQefON547ZQ56Nc7i-33FS18b3JFEcr5wuLKaBbMK9gDlHxP0Cd0pt5Wo/s320/sevencredits.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199074299403956994" /></a><br /><br />I'm a huge geek when it comes to title sequences.

It's great to see it finally out there though...mostly 'cuz I animated one of the new playable dragons' flight cycles;)<br />The Wind Dragon is a nice detour from traditional dragon proportions. A long neck like a Chinese dragon with menacing shaped wings and a stub for a tail?! Yup, no slick tail motions or attacks for this guy. Not having to animate a long tail gave me some time to nap at work;)<br />I put quite a bit of effort into defining the Wind Dragon's character in wing shapes and timing. For a dragon that has similar proportions to a swan, I didn't want gamers to dismiss it as weak. Since the player perspective is from behind the dragon, the wing shapes had to be the strongest from that angle especially because the rest of the body and neck are not visible. The Medium Flap anim is where I started and the other 3 anims branched from there. I studied a lot of footage of geese for body and neck but used bats and seagulls for the wings; bat wings have a much more menacing and determined look to them. Even though the wing anatomy is different on a bat, I wanted to get the look bat wings have of catching pockets of air to keep the body up and the body hanging from the shoulders when the wings rise. Simplicity of seagull wing shapes is also something I wanted to capture - you can always recognize them from afar and simply draw them as a V shape with curved ends. The closest flight style of a geese is in Flap Small; not a lot of collapsing joints/follow through as the wings go up and down but most of the motion comes from the wing roots at the shoulders like a person floating on the ocean with the oscillations of the waves passing under his arms. Flap Strong didn't take a whole lot of work - it's pretty much the Flap Medium sped up and seems to work perfectly. A good example of holding back from my tendancy to over-animate...aaaaand I was just lazy.<br /><br />Glide<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzDUZ8G8LByFgJzsq_2AgOT9GucdXV7qVRKLO72_6_aKeFfiKbW_I0Kh6GcpENg4hYko36PBkj3nlHYprsQwQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />Flap Small (Relaxed)<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxob58rzCK5DyHpTKxw2cTu5X4H30uSvRYU1vGuKbpMs_VE3_cL9uypwTZdEOC7WFit0ykL5BZxAWbINh4rwQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />Flap Medium (Normal)<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxIQoxUtVWaomT8l8ZTlH0_pdGEHZWWBRYBIq6Gw7ov0Lraib1n-ykujeskPpL2AcI1QneVAfz_HMrFIL1c-Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br /><br />Flap Strong (Rapid)<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyTc0N3_pBfa4dsFg9yxKCIIJR1dMfFHEyML9OkXvq-MARMIqg9kRoDRKAjI-v0n2N_OYkmRTDF_4uBycebUA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Oz Ganihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01454247105049005008noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659027511492437295.post-57291636674336151422008-04-06T14:57:00.000-07:002008-05-11T04:21:24.788-07:00Photo Equipment and LightingScrounging through old notes from college, I found a very handy list.
