NOAH

Noah was our final and biggest team project at the GERMAN FILM SCHOOL. It took place somewhen in the 5th semester.

It's the true story about Noah. I hope you know Noah? That guy that built an arc and put one male and one female of each species out there on it to save them from the ultimate rain?

Our Noah is a pretty grumpy old man who gives it a try.
Did you ever try to put 16 people that can barely stand each other in a team? 

Well, you should, it's more than an experience. Naaa, it wasn't that bad, but the project had its moments. Hate, love, desire, knowledge, power, frustration, way better than watching another boring hollywood blockbuster.
16 people 6 weeks that's the result. Project completely created in Alias Maya, rendered with GI_Joe and some fancy HDRI images. (Did you ever try to take a naked butt as a HDRI image? Well, you should try :-)))
Hope you enjoy the work, as hard work as it was, it was also so challenging and fun. Below the pictures are the credits listed as they are pretty small in this version. Hmm, well that brings up some nice happenings. The GFS has very strict rules creating credits, and we stick to all of them. Unfortunately they are not very precise, specially considering things like DPI and Pixels which, one might know, are two way different things! Anyway, it was really glorious to see the only thing our school leader had to say after 5 weeks of horrible work: loud yelling "God damn it! No one can read the damn credits! MAKE THEM NEW, NOW!" Well, that's a way to keep up the moral .. no wait .. ahh waste it. Just a glimpse behind the curtain of fame.
