I remade for christmas for my little brother because he loves it so I changed/fixed a few things and rendered a higher resolution.

Anyhow, enjoy.

Amazing!
Was that done in Blender?

Re: Billy Joel's Piano Man (Remastered)

Pretty nice. I think you could have done more with it, but for what it was, I enjoyed it. Nice CG work, and a good song, too.

Shrankenhiemer: I will add to it over time as it's become somewhat of a signature film for me, especially in the offline community.

That was OK. A little too plain for my liking, and the CGI didn't look so great.

and why isn't he sitting at a piano?

Re: Billy Joel's Piano Man (Remastered)

It's some nice 3D work, but I got quite bored.

I can't stand Billy Joel, but this film made me sit there and watch to the end. Very well done. Great job.

Re: Billy Joel's Piano Man (Remastered)

This does look pretty good to me, it doesn't look realistic so perhaps that is what bothered Night Owl.  The minifig is somewhat low-poly.  But I thought the stage and lighting setups were pretty nice (did you make the stage?)  It would be nice to have a piano, or at least some variation, as it does get rather monotonous.  Perhaps a crowd or some visuals of what he's singing about mixed in would help, like a music video.  Also the yellow color and the color of his hair were both pretty far off, they looked like the default export colors from LeoCad, which aren't very true to the real ones, you might want to look into that in the future.

Re: Billy Joel's Piano Man (Remastered)

Great job, but the unrealistic upward head movements kind of turned me off.

Re: Billy Joel's Piano Man (Remastered)
