Approx. 2 months of learning iClone, cc2 and getting used to everything, and then 3 weeks of continuously working on it.  I was stuck with the frogs, modelling them in the blender was taking even more time, so I bought the frogs from the store instead. The well, buildings, benches, mobile, Speaker everything done in blender. The character in cc.

Next one will probably take even longer because adding a lot of particle effects in it and trial and error.

Well ... it was very well done ... and I'm surprised - you say '2 months' learning iClone & CC2 ..... well if I could do what you do - even after 2 years - I 'd be stoked!!!!
Obviously you have a 3D background - which must help immenesly. Well .... I 'dips me hat to you'!  Well done!!!

Yes I have a 3D background but not really in animation.

I have been struggling with animation for a very long time. Studied 3D max in the institute, then tried learning maya myself. Maya was way expensive back then and out of my reach at that time period. Went into book publishing to earn my bread and butter. Came back to 3D and created some award-winning backgrounds in Vue.

Then started creating video game packs which I create even now.

I tried iClone demo long time back but that time there were no sufficient tutorials available and without knowing blender, I couldn't achieve much.

Studied Blender so I could animate, but rendering even with a powerful GPU took days to render. So just rendering a video ad like this would have taken weeks.

Reallusion has put up some amazing tuts on youtube nowadays and those have really helped.

Animation and games have been my lifelong dream and these both cannot be excelled without a team. Thanks to iClone and real-time rendering technology I can achieve this quality now in a period of 3 weeks without staring at the rendering process on my computer screen for hours.

It has been a long long struggle, hope I can create some ads for the web and television industry.

@ Famecrafts
Changing the Add from Wedding Entertainment to Speakers made sense!
@ Benjamin Tuttle

@ Dr. Nemesis
70 minutes are a lot ( i already made a 77 min. commissioned work but we ended up on cutting it to 58...)
The still looks promising...
@ thedirector1974
I am a fan of yours!
"The talk" looks very promising and so different to "Alien"...
BUT "Alien" is my favourite and i am looking forward for more!
@ Delerna
I remind seeing "the waves" some time ago...
Looks "artificial" but a very nice attempt to achieve this!
@ Dante1st
Wanna see it!
Saw a few of your clips and they all kinda "worked" AND had a lot of "dark" humor, which i like...
@ Snarp Farkle
Funny!
@ Urbanlamb
I love "wierd" people ;-)

Me, myself and i am working on a kinda "dark" drama...
No working title yet, not really ready to reveal much of it but it makes fun...
Don't want to spill the beans about it yet but it is inspired by two novels of a very famous writer ;-)
And a special thread will be opened in the near future...
Here are some stills:
