Description:
Following the success of the Gorillaz videos directed by Jamie Hewlett and Passion Pictures’ Pete Candeland, the 2D designs have been trans lated into 3D computer animation for a “live” performance at the Brit Awards. Clay maquettes of each character were used to build wireframes in Lightwave 7.0 and rigged for animation in Messiah. Scanned and painted textures prepared in Photoshop and Body Paint 3-D (Maxon) were used as skin. To create the illusion of the band members appearing on stage, each had its own LED screen arranged in a conventional group line-up.
