This is the teaser for the animation that, Florin Mocanu and me, Vlad Maftei, have been working on.
Models are done by Roberto Ortiz from CGTalk and Mike Hanson. I am in charge of camera animation, rigging, animation and soundfx. Florin handled additional modelling like volcano crater, some details on the robots and also, lighting/shading, rendering, FX and compositing.
The story is about 2 robots that fight eachother in an abandoned arena, which was constructed in a volcano crater. The volcano started to be alive once again and because of that the arena is not available for public matches, only for private duels.
It contains 4 shots, comped with all the bling, all is 3d, no footage, no tricks, they are not 100% finished, more like 95%, tweaks and small changes will be done surely. The soundfx was a novelty for me being the first time that I do such a thing. I hope that it won't make your ears pop

. We are focusing now on the rest of the shots.
I hope you like what we have achieved this far.
