Next Animation
We are currently working on our next animation, currently named "Rails". The main concept behind this animation are individual instrument notes and/or instrument "triggers" fixed to vertical rails where the instrument "players" and/or instruments are traveling on separate vertical rails. Hence the current working title of "Rails".
We're being very methodical in our approach to this animation because there's a lot that needs to be tested before anything major gets worked on. Ambient Glow's music was completely written and produced before the visualization was conceived and Full Circle was written near the end of the modelling and rigging stages. The music for Rails will need to be written along side the production of the visuals. Writing the music hasn't begun yet, but we have a good idea of the vibe of the music and its genre.
So far we only have the percussion elements roughly 75% of the way done in terms of modelling and rigging. We've had to redo them a few times to make sure they can even be usable. Again we're trying to be very methodical to ensure there won't be too much to reconfigure when we really get into the testing stages.
We've actually had this idea as long as we've been working on animations together. We kept delaying it because we weren't confident we could tackle something of the scale we're aiming for with Rails, but we think we can do it now with the new and improved MIDAS.
