So,

Good idea , Gerard, but no need for you to shell-out.

Your prev Pinhead Xmas Clip was excellent, with excellent Pinhead animation.Smile

I've been doing Pinhead Xmas clips for 10 years, starting with Pinnacle Studio & Animation Factory.
By Gerskey - 8 Years Ago
Hi Colour,
I just need something to focus on at the minute and start doing more around here in the forum than washing dishes and sweeping the floors and dusting the cobwebs of creative minds and your idea lead to this Colour x.
Prizes are nothing "Big" but Walter did say the other day "Let me surprise them." lol What????

Peace
Gerskey

I think it's a nice initiative. I may be able to contribute something simple.
By Gerskey - 8 Years Ago
Hi magic,
awwh thanks.
Sweet and simple is the idea that's all.

OK, first off, there is a spammer on the loose again so let's suppress him/her/it with some meaningful content!

Inspired by Gerskey, and taking Colour's suggestion that's frowned upon by Mark, I took an old iClone 5 project and spruced it up. Pinhead was added, as was snow, Heidi on a horse-drawn wagon, a Xmas tree, etc. The sound was enhanced as well.

I quite like the way it turned out, and I hope it will entice others to contribute.


By Gerskey - 8 Years Ago
Hi thank you Magic.

Lovely Christmasy video of Walter Magic.

I hope so too Magic thank you x. I hope it gets everyone that looks in at the forum now and again, to get in the spirit of Christmas and creating for Pinhead 2016 Christmas.
Peace
Gerskey
By animagic - 8 Years Ago
Glad you liked it, Gerskey! I too hope others will join in now.
By justaviking - 8 Years Ago

Gerskey,

Great idea.  I'll have to put on my thinking cap, sort of like what Pinhead did in this old "New Years" clip.


So it's been about 4 years since I started working with iClone.  That was the first iClone project I ever did.  I'd like to say I've gotten a lot better, but I think I should say I've gotten slightly better.  I seem to learn something every time I do a Pinhead clip, so maybe I'm overdue for doing another one.

By animagic - 8 Years Ago
Dennis, I think you have advanced more than slightly... Interestingly, the project I based my contribution on was also from 2012.

Typical Pinhead Clip, Job. I love Bluemidget's "Bob". We haven't seen Blue, for a while.Ermm My Clip, in production. Here's the Storyboard unfolding BigGrin

By animagic - 8 Years Ago
Has a nice wintry feel to it, Peter!

Yeah, I wondered what happened to Blue. He used to be quite active. For those interested, I made "Bob" talk by creating a morph with his mouth closed (i.e., a copy of Bob in that shape) and then using the Expression Editor to set visemes. Primitive, but it works; a bit like Kermit.

Great clip Job!!!!BigGrin

Hi justaviking,
just come a board.
First class passengers this way please--->> down the stairs and to the right sir, and follow the sign that says Sign lol.
I just got that feeling with your clip, that we will all learn a little more too.

By Gerskey - 8 Years Ago
Hi Pinhead community,
I hope it's okay.
I know it's not much and not a download,
Something to hold on too, or rest your mouse on I think .
Peace
Sorry

Hi Gerskey, nothing to be sorry about! I like the prizes, it's different.

Those are super personally-made prizes, Gerard. Smile

If there aren't sufficient entries, it being Xmas period, perhaps they could be included in the Pinhead's Community Projects Committee's prizes, in the next Project, in 2017. Just a thought.

I'm already done, so I have an interest here...Wink Two entries should be enough, but I hope we'll get more than that! 

Also, who knows when the next PH competition will be...Unsure
By sjonesdc - 8 Years Ago
Gerskey,

Would like to win one of the prizes!!!!

Thanks!
By Gerskey - 8 Years Ago
Hi Colour,
sorry for late reply. Of course they can be. However, let's wait and see. One never knows, fingers crossed.
Yes, they are personally done by me for this Christmas competition.
The three Walters from past, present and future <-- (Get it).No lol..
Christmas Carol
  However, these characters are not mines as you know and so does the Pinhead community.
For The Walter Pinhead Fans
We all have to keep this competition going some way or other.
I'm just doing my wee bit for all of you. You all do so much regarding the Pinhead entries within the community every year..
If the need arises again Colour regarding mugs that are up for prizes now,
I can get them again no problem.
Peace
Gerskey
By Alley - 8 Years Ago
Very nice idea Gerskey!!
By Gerskey - 8 Years Ago
Hi sjonesdc,
only way to get your hands on one of these mugs,
is try your luck and enter good luck

So, how do I get a copy of Pinhead to use?
By animagic - 8 Years Ago
The following page has G5 and CC versions of Pinhead: http://pinheadadventure.com/page7.html.
By pumeco - 8 Years Ago

For some reason, this thread currently thinks it has four pages, so when I click on page four to get here, it throws an error, it's been doing that for days now.
I have to get in via page 1, 2, or 3 ... weird!

Anyway, nice image, Peter, looks very Christmas-like Smile

Looking forward to seeing a whole new batch of Pinhead Christmas Specials.  And cool idea for the Prizes, Gerskey, could be worth a small fortune as a collectors piece in the fufure if Pinhead becomes super-famous, so if anything, more people should enter in hopes of winning them!

By Gerskey - 8 Years Ago
Hi community,
yes Pumeco I noticed it too and I don't know why honestly.
Loving the pics and videos entries for the Walter Phineas Pinhead Christmas project Pumeco.

I hope Reallusion will delete the page no4. I will ask support.

I have the prizes ready and waiting for posting after closing date 10th December.
I want to try and get them out and to their destination before Christmas.

Peace

Slow & tortuous, Gerard. Ermm BTW - Is this pic's lightihg too dark, too bright, or about right?

If anything, I think I would darken it, especially if the lit windows from the buildings are using the ambient channel, it would make them stand out more!

Hi Colour,
don't panic.
This project calls for a short and simple video.
As long as one uses Walter in a Christmas theme,
I'm happy with it.
I have watched nothing yet, however I will watch all entries
on the closing date of December 10th.

We love our Pinhead.  Thanks to bringing him to life again with your clip.

Great quote...  "It's good to have a helmet."
Great prop...  I totally love his drone.

Great story and clip.  Thanks so much for sharing.

Here's my Pinhead Christmas clip.
I actually started this for last years Christmas contest but due to not having enough time I didn't get very far.

Enjoy!

By animagic - 8 Years Ago
Very nice, Jeff! I'm glad the see a 2D animation added (with some 3D it looks like).
By jlittle - 8 Years Ago
Thanks Animagic.
Hmm, what did you think was 3D?
It was all done in CTA3 so was really all 2D.

I thought the house with the lightshow was. Pretty need if you can do that in CTA3.

By justaviking - 8 Years Ago
Great clips, everyone.
I look forward to making more individual comments later.

@Gerskey - I'm sorry I didn't get a clip made for you.  I really wanted to, and had two starts, but, well, I simply didn't get either one done in spite of good intentions.  Thanks again for starting this project, and adding prizes was a wonderful act of generosity.

For some simple entertainment, I will post a Pinhead Christmas video I made 9 years ago.  Yes, NINE years ago.  I had fun playing with many effects in my video editing software.


By jlittle - 8 Years Ago
animagic I thought the house with the lightshow was. Pretty neat if you can do that in CTA3.

Ah, that was part of a video I grabbed off the Web and made into a prop with Pinhead and Boo in front of it.
Same with the jpg's of the other houses with decorations.

Thanks for the kind words, Arie Smile

@ Jeff
Glad to see Pinhead now has a CTA Boo. Loved the Reindeer Smile . It's not the first time Pinhead's been depicted as a thief, he nicked a Viking boat from a Museum in The first Community Project, in 2006.Ermm

@ Dennis.
I remember that clip very well. Great synching to music beat. Thanks for the nostalgia.Smile
