hi, S2BA:
Thank you. It's ae 6 months project. I am lucky that I got extra 6 weeks to refine it. The rendering parts only took around 2 to 3 days. Thanks for VFS fast machines and the IT supports.
best,

The Polish! The Emo! The Style! Ha ha ha . I really like it! I like the soggy box the SCR R guy is on. I think the water droplets on the close up of the SRL guy are a little "CG" .
Great Execution!

Great execution of the rendering, it looks beautiful, well done. The story I was not so impressed with, mainly becuase I'm not quite sure what you were going for. If the flowers weren't meant to see eachother until the end there is a problem with one of the earlier shots where there is a clear line of sight between them. But it is a good VFX reel, don't get me wrong, I'm sure you'll pick up a job in no time, best of luck!

Very cool! I really liked it; it was really nicely done, professional, and a bit melodramatic. The presentation itself was very slick. Good job

Amazing work! Very touching!
I can really feel the emotion those two flowers have. Very creative too. I also like the way you arrange the background, rain, sun...etc. I am hoping more people will also see your creativity behind all the excellent technical skills.
Very impressive!
