How I made “I Am”

I Am
I received this email the other day and wanted to post the answer so I don’t have to respond again, not that I mind, its just easier. 
What tools did you use to create “I Am”?I’ve been surveying tools to try to make a sensible choice for myself…Thanks!- Daniel J.

I made “I Am” back in 2003 so some of what I did is a bit outdated. That said the my setup at the time was as follows:

  • dual 500 mhz G4 Apple “Bondi_Blue”
  • 2 GB of RAM
  • 4 internal Hard Drives totaling over 750 GB of space.
  • 15x Wacom Cintiq
  • 17″ CRT monitor
  • Panisonic DV deck
  • 12″ Television set
  • Sony Pro VCR w/ jog and shuttle
  • Adobe After Affects Pro
  • Adobe Photoshop Pro
  • Macromedia Flash 5

    • In one shot I would use most of what I just listed. The whole film was created in 1080p also known as fill HD. The resolution is 1080x 1920 and the frame rate was 24 fps using square pixels. The nice thing about 1080p other than it looking amazing, is it transfers t film really nice. Also what is nice is it converts really well into almost any other format, DVD, 720p, 1080i or web.

    Filed Under (animation, atom film, i am) by Rob Kohr

    So it has been a while since ANYTHING has been updated on this site. I do plan to revamp ALL the art on this site. It all needs to go. I have all new art, I just have not had the time to update it.

    Otherwise on the homepage there is a still from the revamp of “Automatic Doors” I will post animation once I have a large chunk done.

    Also my thesis film “I Am” is now up on Atom Films. Click below to vote. Right now the average is a 3.4, better than I would give it :P

    Comic and Parties :D
    Filed Under (christmas, comic, i am, ii, marionette, mtv, party) by Rob Kohr

    Once again I must apologize, I am really busy and a really bad blogger. It has been so long since I have done ANYTHING with this site. I have been just to busy with projects. Working on my comic that I have published here before has become a long term thing. I finally decided to call it Marionette, I think ti works well with the story line without being grossly oversimple like “I am” or “II”. Ha Ha. So here is a page from the comic.

    Future Film Festival
    Filed Under (animation, festival, future film fest, i am, italy) by Rob Kohr

    Happy New Year! Welcome to ‘05! Well good news for me at the beginning of the year, I made staff at Nickelodeon, so now I get benefits and all that stuff. On top of that I am leaving for Italy next Tuesday. My film “I Am” is part of the short film selection along with Bill Plympton’s “Guard Dog”. The festival is called Future Film Festival.

    I will take lots of pictures and post them in 2 weeks.

    :D
