Did any one see the film yet? What are your thoughts ?

I worked on this film, and I'd like to bring a bit of trivia to market, along with a bit of information about the production system used

"Brendan and the secret of Kells" official website
http://www.thesecretofkells.com/

The film was produced in 7 studios around Europe and Brazil with a not trivial work split approximately like this:

Pre production and Story up to Layout was done in Kilkenny-Ireland (Cartoon Saloon)
Backgrounds: Kilkenny-Ireland and Angoulême-France (Blue Spirit)
Animation: Kilkenny, Brussels-Belgium(Walking the Dog), Sao Paolo-Brazil(Lightstar Studios) and Kecskemet-Hungary(Kecskemet Film)
Cleanup: Sao Paolo and Kecskemet
Ink & Paint: Liege-Belgium(Digital Graphics)
Compositing: Brussels and Angoulême
3D: Brussels
Final editing: Paris-France

All being directed and edited (except for final editing) from Kilkenny, the main base of the director Tomm Moore (His blog: http://theblogofkells.blogspot.com/, and the teaser for the next film from Tomm and Cartoon Saloon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdCabgJQpbA)

The film was drawn on paper, with a few sequences in Flash and 3D integrated with 2D. A few scenes incorporated flash elements.

Software:
Photoshop for Layouts and BG's
Good old pencils and paper for animation and cleanup
Linetest in Animo
Ink and paint in proprietary software (SoftAnim) in Digital Graphics (http://www.digitalgraphics.be)
3D: 3DSMax by "Walking The Dog" (http://www.walkingthedog.be)
Composite: Combustion, Shake and SoftAnim (Digital Graphics)
Misc: A little bit of flash
Editing: 4 Avid system automatically kept up to date with latest footage
Production system: HoBSoft (http://www.hobsoft.net)

Here is an early clip of video featuring some early artwork, and some clips from the studio in Brussels, it is in French, but interesting even if you do not understand.

Here is an article more or less about the same
http://www.cinergie.be/article.php?a...display&id=579

The final clean-up scan was done in very high resolution to keep the soul of the pencil in the film, no vectorization here.

The film was produced with the workflow based HoBSoft production system incorporating To-Do-Lists, Tracking, Reporting, Automation, Rolling conformed full resolution master and 4 Avid stations (in different studios) always up to date with the latest footage.

As a last tid-bit of info I would like to add that the production Manager Camille Leganza(Now DreamWorks Redwood), who at the time was living in Turkey did about 50/50 of her time at home and in Kilkenny, however... once production had finished in Ireland (Except for direction and editing), (so only 6 studios producing), Camille worked almost 100% from home in Turkey. Imagine keeping the reins on 6 studios "From the comfort of your own home".

Thoughts on this way of producing are also welcome

J'ai signé la chronique du Blu-ray dans le numéro de rentrée des Années Laser, dans laquelle je fais part de ma relative déception quant à l'orientation très enfantine du long métrage... Dommage que le fond ne soit pas aussi ambitieux et abouti que la forme !

[awk]

Est-ce que par hasard il y aurait la version VO irlandaise sur le DVD français?
Tous les sites de vente ne mentionnent que la version française qui est relativement pitoyable...
En plus impossible d'acheter le DVD irlandais parcequ'aucun site de vente amazon etc n'a de branche irlandaise, tous utilise une seule version UK où le dvd n'est pas encore dispo...
Misère!

[hcjehg]

Moi, j'ai achete mon DVD anglais chez hmv.com, mais il y'a que l'anglais la dessus. Je sais pas sur le version française.

Je vais acheter un blu-ray (même prix) au lieu, la j'imagine que tout les détailles sont visible.

Mais attention, ça prends 15 jours calendrier a arriver en France de hmv.com

Amazon?

Sur le dvd français il y a la VF et la version... bretone !

Mais pas de VO...

Première review du Blu-ray US (qui semble être multizone)...
http://highdefnews.blogspot.com/2010/10 ... eview.html
Le transfert à l'air aussi bon que le Blu-ray français et bien entendu, il y a enfin la VO irlandaise (complètement absente des éditions françaises, pour rappel)...
Les suppléments ont l'air bien intéressants, aussi...
