Don’t you just love sappy teenage romantic vampire puppy-love dramas, with a hint of a looming vampire-human-werewolf love-triangle? (wait what?!)

Twilight, the books that made SO much sales that 16% of all books sold in America in the first three months of 2009 were the four twilight books (source), and not to mention the movie that took in $70.6 million at the box office at opening weekend, with a   had been a massive success, and we decided it would be fun to make it in 3d animated form for you guys to play with on Voovees.com.

I mean, after zombies, why not vampires? Right?

For the next few posts I’ll talk a bit about how we went about making the twilight voovees, starting with this post focused on the star vampire of the twilight universe, Edward Cullen.

Edward is a very cool character, the ‘Lion’ of the Edward-Bella Lion-Lamb relationship. We want to show him off as the cool kid in school that have just a bit TOO much attitude.

Defining characteristics of the character is the greased-up hair style, and the borderline-evil-but-wow-so-handsome-I-don’t-care facial features.

Those of you with the keener eye would have noticed that the character looks dramatically different to the ZenCub3d characters that we had, and you’d be right. Yes, we have new characters, and we’re making more of them.

Here are some expressions of what the 3D Edward looks like, we took a little Robert Pattinson and added a bit more ‘vampiric twist’ to it (though without the pointy teeth).

It was a great fun making our first twilight parody Science Class, and you can make your own parody of the scene.

Here are some of the good parodies of this scene that were made:

Garlic Paper Shuriken

Whip Lash Mania

The hairdresser within

Lucy Makes an Entrence

Lote Not(e)

Walks Like Teen Spirit

Acting is following cues

Filming with Props

Captain Green Attempts to Save the Planet

At the end I’ll leave you with some comparison shots between the actual movie and the parody.
