Playable Ganondorf in Castle Town? + Redead walkcycle

Hi everyone! I wanted to show you something really interesting I made during the production of Hyrule's Downfall Chapter 1.

I started to learn more about video games and how game devs works. I setup something really simple. A playable Ganondorf in Castle Town. The same Castle Town from the movie. Exept that here it is an earlier version.
This goes even beyond that because it actually helped me to have another point of view when it comes to find camera angles. Exactly like a directo...

Hyrule's Downfall Chapter 2 + another project

Hi everyone! Hyrule's Downfall Chapter 1 is doing exceptionally well! Way better than what I thought. It's already the fastest growing video on my channel! 

 I have a good news for you! Chapter 2 has started! Actually it started months ago.  At that time I didn't realized it but when I started working on Hyrule's Downfall it was in Septembre 2020 then I released a trailer in Novembre 2020 right?  The day I released the trailer I had so many new  ideas in mind an...

[Patreon Early Acess] Hyrule's Downfall: Chapter 1

Hello everyone! I'm so exited to share this with you today! Just a little disclaimer before you watch this. I will make some tiny changes in some shots for the final that will be out this Sunday on the channel 😉  

I hope you'll enjoy it! This is what I was working on for the past 6 months! It was really hard and complex but I'm so exited for everyone to see this. This is my way to celebrate the Zelda 35th anniversary.   

Let me know what you think about it, I'm r...

Important information about the early access.

Hello everyone!  This week I wasn't able to share as much as I wanted because I've run into some dififculty with my project.     

I originaly planned to make you a surprise tomorrow with the early acess of my video 1 week early but because of bug and crashes I had recently, I had to work like crazy the last 4 days to just fix things that has been broken so it delayed some other stuff.      

No worry the video will still be finish...

Impa and child Zelda (Spoiler )

Do you remember in Zelda Oot when we see Impa riding on a white horse protecting Zelda?

Well, during the intro of my video Zelda is explaining to us, the viewers, the events of Zelda Oot to add some context.

I wanted to make this shot look more dramatic because we are from Zelda's perspective here.

So I made a dark sky with red Lightning to really add even more power to the shot as well as a low camera angle to make us (the viewers) feel small compared to what we see he...

Behind the scene Link + epona shot

I'm trying something new here. I'm not sure if you'll like it or not just let me know :)

The Hero Of Time

Hi everyone! I wanted to end this month with a beautiful shot of Link and Epona 😉 This shot takes place during the introduction of the video. If you look at it closely it may remind you one from the game.

Overall progress is going very well. The musics are made by Mosik the composer who's working with me for a couple of videos now and I refine the details in each shot to deliver my best video to you.

Thank you for your suppor...

2 WIP shots + Background references😁

Hello evreyone! I hope you are doing well! 😁

For this animated short I really want to push the visual of my video and give it a film look. Creating environments is one my favorite part of my videos, it allows great creativity.
To create my environements I like to use a reference to have a solid base.

It can be from anything, a fan art, a movie, a photo, an object,... etc almost anything. This is really cool because it can help to get a goo...

Link and Zelda fighting together (WIP)

Hello everyone! I would like to show you some WIP of Link's attacks during the film as well as Zelda's magical power! In this sequence they are sourrounded by hundreds of stalhilds!
My PC is crying hahaha.

In the final, Link's weapon will be replaced by the Master Sword of course.
I wanted him  to have some cool moves as he is the Hero of Time. 😏
Also  he does a kick as you can see and that's something we are not use to see. But if we think about it, Link must pro...

The growing vine shot for Farore

Hello everyone! I would like to share with you these little behind a scene test that I made for a shot in the intro with the 3 godesses. This shot was really complex to setup and I had to make different test before getting it right.  I had several questions in mind.

How to make a vine?
How to animate it and make it grow?
How can I export this into Unreal engine?

Once I found the answer to these 3 questions by doing different test I wanted something mo...

11 Full HD New Screenshots + release date

Hello everyone! I would like to share with you 11 full HD screenshots of the animation. It can give you a really good idea of the work and details I'm putting into this video despite the very low specs and limations that I have. 

It even goes way beyond my expectation and I would like to thank you all. Without you this video would have not been the same thing. Thanks to your support I've been able to get amazing 3d assets and you even saved this project! A few weeks ago my 6 ye...

Hyrule's Creation (Video WIP)

Hi everyone! Here is a work in progress about Hyrule's Creation as seen in Zelda Ocarina of Time with some few changes. I used the music of the game as a place holder until my composer makes her own version for the final video. Also in the final video I'll add sound effects that aren't in this version yet that will help even more for the immersion.  

To give you an idea I would say 90% of the shots of the video are done in terms of animation. I'm s...

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone! I wish you all a Happy New Year! and the best for 2021!

For 2021 I plan to make even more Zelda animations! and maybe some smaller videos so I can produce a lot more and have less time between each videos.

Also one of the idea I have for the channel is to create some brands like teeshirts and mugs with the logo of the channel and I was curious to know if this is something you would be interested? Or maybe you have some other ideas as well ? 

[Wallpaper]A Link To The Past reference (WIP)

Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

As you saw on my previous post I'm working on the introduction of my video where I decided to remake the creation of Hyrule as we saw in Zelda Ocarina of Time.

For the last shot were the 3 goddesses merge together to create the Triforce in the Sacred Realm, I decided to add a little easter egg by recreating the official Sacred Realm artwork of A Link To The Past!

I'm curious to see how many people will notice it ;)<...

Merry Christmas!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas! Here is a render for everyone! 🎁🎁🎁✌️😁

The creation of Hyrule (Work in progress)

Hello everyone! First I wish you great holidays and hope you are doing well :) Today I would like to share with you some images that I'm working on for the introduction on the story.

I plan to remake the creation of hyrule with the 3 godesses, Din, Nayru and Farore and show how they created the world and the triforce. I think it will be amazing to start the video with something like this.

It will surprise everyone! there is still a lot of work but I try to finish the video for e...

The chase + Mini boss(Work in Progress)

Hi everyone! I have a new work in progress video for you today! 1 full minute! As usuall all of this is still a big work in progress and it follow what you saw previously. There are some elements that are missing but it is enought to give you a good idea 👌

Story:
Link and Zelda are being chased in the streets (I haven't made the monsters yet) and their  goal is to reach the Temple of time. To do that they have to cross Hyrule marketplace where they'll mee...

Zelda's choice (WIP)

Hello everyone! Here is an important shot where a giant enemy appeared above Link and Zelda but this time Zelda decided to fight.

At this moment they are in the middle of castle town in hyrule market on their way to the temple of time.

Zelda will defeat the enemy using the bow of light. It will be an epic sequence focused on her👌 I would like to show that she is really strong when near Link as if she get a bit of his courage. I think this is a really nice idea. 

La...

The chase (Work in progress)

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well! Things will start to get really complex for Link and Zelda in the story now.  Ganondorf send the stalchilds to run after them and circle the town.

Here is the very begining where the stalchilds arrive and the chase start.

The goal for Link and Zelda is to reach the temple of time as soon as possible but they will have to run all across hyrule market and believe me it won't be easy ;) I really try to create an hyrule under Ganondorf'...

Link use Din's fire - (Full VFX + sounds)

Hi everyone! You may have seen on my twitter that I posted a work in progress for a VFX I'm working on: Din's fire from Zelda Ocarina of Time but a bit more powerful ;)

This is still a work in progress. 

The idea is that Link and Zelda will be surrounded by enemies in castle town and the last option for Link will be to use Din's fire and beat all of them at once. The final result will look like video you can see here. I even added some sound effe...

Here is another 20 secondes wip for The Downfall!

Hey everyone! I hope you are doing very well. Today I would like to show you another update for the Downfall where Zelda explain her plan to Link but at the same time we see Ganondorf at his castle thinking and get to the same concusion as Zelda.

The idea is to show that the characters are smart especially Ganondorf. That's how I see him in Zelda Oot.  In the final render Zelda will have facial animation. Here in this example not doing it help me to time things faster.

I wa...

Here is 1:40 minutes of THE DOWNFALL

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to show you another work in progress for the upcoming animation the downfall.

This is not perfect yet and in low quality to help me work faster.  If you saw the previous posts I made, I posted a gif showing you my animated storyboard for this sequence and here is my result for now 😁

I really work like crazy on this one and try to become better in character rigging, character animation, lighting, level design, vfx, composition and sound design t...

Here is next the 2 weeks of work for the Downfall!

Hi everyone! I wanted to share what I'm working on for the next 2 week! It will be a special moment between Link and Zelda. This is an animatic made with very rought sketches (I don't have a tablet so I had to draw with a mouse😅).

You can also  already see what I started. The dialogues are not final but the main idea is there.

Story:
After running away from Ganon castle Link and Zelda arrived at castle town.

What is happening here is that Link ...

This is beyond my expectation!

Hi everyone! Today I would like to show a litte test that I've been working on for the past few  days. I had the idea to have Ganondorf's minions roaming in castle town streets. I decided to try with the stalchild enemy in Zelda Oot.

Then I was wondering how they would look like if there were like hundreds of them running at the same time? I think I just made an army by accident haha. I added some random camera movment to get a better feel but the result just blew my mind! Very spo...

The trailer is here!

Hi everyone! I have the pleasure to show you the trailer for my new animation in early access.
I'm very exited for this one! It's a big project and I hope you'll love the trailer! let me know what you think :)

PS: I'm making another version with the end card and all your names at the end for the public release next week :)

I'm working on a trailer! :O

Hi everyone ! I hope you are doing very well! Today I would like to share with you some images for  the trailer that I'm working on. The editing for the trailer is almost done and I've also finished working on the sound design. Now it's in the hands of the composer Mosik. She will compose a really nice music to make the video very unique.

The trailer should be done by the end of the week. You can expect it for Saturday or Sunday :) You'll be able to see it first here on Patreon a...

Ganondorf VFX (Work in Progress)

Hi everyone! Today I would like to show you one the many vfx I'm working on for this new video. I'm so exited because this video will be like nothing else on the channel. 

This VFX looks like it's from a movie and the crazy thing is that what you see here is running in real time in Unreal Engine4.

I'm trying to make something cool for Ganondorf. He deserve to have his moment as well ;)

A little breakdown in 3 steps

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing very well. Today I wanted to show you a little breakdown for 2 shots that I've been working on this week with Link and Zelda. The main idea here is to show you the big picture in 3 different steps that I go throught when I work on each shots. Here Link and Zelda are getting hurt by a Ganondorf attack. I wanted to make a slo motion shot to make this more dramatic.

1)-First I start with a storyboard. If you saw the previous post I plan my shots first on ...

Example of storyboard (Spoiler alert haha)

Hi everyone I wanted to share with you an exemple of storyboard that I made for the upcoming animation. If you don't want to be spoiled do not look at it haha. Keep in mind  that everything you see here is subject to change and  it's not the final version yet. I wanted to show you that because maybe you weren't aware that I go throught this process for my videos an I think it's interesting to share that with you.

It's really nice and help me to find camera angles, ch...

New images for Patron membres!

Hi everyone! I wanted to show you some work in progress that you can already use as backgrounds if you want. These images are taken directly from shots in my video. I hope you'll like them!

I'm doing very good progress on the animation itself. Everything can still change at this point like the textures or the lighting but I think the final look will be very close to what you see here.

I really give everything for this one you will LOVE it!
