THE MILL - CONTACT REPLY!!!

I'm extremely happy!
In one of my earlier posts I talked about a London based company called 'The Mill' who are very well known and produce high standard quality pieces of works.
I sent them an email, asking about a piece they had done involving a Jellyfish, explaining that I had just finished a piece involving a Jellyfish I had made in 3D.

Below is the email I sent to them:

Hello,

My name is Jenny Huddart and I am a Multimedia Student. I have just been looking at your 'Hutchinson 3' campaign which involves the jellyfish you did in 2004.

I am extremely impressed with the modeling of the creature, and is very similar to the jellyfish I have just created for a brief in Maya.

We had 4 weeks to work on a 10 second 3D channel ident by ourselves, and the question i wanted to ask is how long it took your guys to answer the Hutchinson brief? And how many designers worked on it altogether?

Thank you for your time.

And here is their reply:

Hi Jenny,

I’d love to say ours was all 3d but it was in fact mostly a live action model made by Stan Winston’s. What we did create though were extra 3d tentacles that animate out in one or two of the interior shots. I think from memory we had a team of four animators working on the project and one Flame guy doing the compositing. Most of the far backgrounds were replaced. I think the cityscapes were added in through the interior windows as well.

Why not send us a link to some of your work, it would be good to see?

Thanks,

Stephen

I am very VERY excited that they would like to see some of my work! I think the best thing i should do though, is wait until I have my flash website up and running showing the majority of all my work - The deadline for the brief of creating this website is the 8th May, so I think I should wait until I can send them the link to that.

I think you are right, wait till May. Make sure you send it as a reply to their email so they can read back through the messages.
