Animating with Poser - my Skateboarding dog.

Meet ZenDog my skateboarding dog - created in Poser from Daz3's Millennium Dog and the obvious skateboard prop. Note that I changed the skateboard texture to get the Zen logo underneath.

Check out ZenDog's first skate video...

I created the scene in Poser and then created different files for each shot/angle.
Each shot was rendered as a TIF sequence into its own folder. In fact I rendered foreground and background as different image sequences so that I could better control the focus and touch up the lighting.

The final video was created in After Effects. If you hold down the shift key you can drag each folder into the project window and it'll automatically create a movie/image sequence.

It's fairly basic I know but it's a lot of fun and I hope to use the experience for something bigger later.

Below is a screen shot of the ZenDog page on Jumpcut. I've uploaded each individual shot in case anyone fancies editing their own skate vid :) http://www.jumpcut.com/ZenDog

I'm working on a new video now... hope to have it done soon.
