Hi people. I'm a junior artist that just graduted from school and im looking for employment right now. In my reel I used live footage shot in a green screen and I comped it in a 3d enviroment that I modeled, light and textured.

Nice dude! Of course there's lil' things here and there, I know it's hard to pull a great key sometimes and he looks a lil' "floaty" sometimes but I like your skills. It's definitely good enough to be something you'd see on tv (is that a weird comment?). What school did you go to?

thanx hiphopcr for ur comments. this shot is the first green screen i did all by myself, keying was ok but tons of roto had to be done!

thats great that that u think my work is somethin that would be seen in tv....one day hopefully!:)

Hi Ricardo,

Not sure if anyone else has (or will) ever notice....but on your second shot breakdown, when you introduce your matte painting, I believe your text on your reel says "Matte Paiting".

Not sure if you caught that or not. If visual effects doesn't work out, maybe I should become a newspaper/magazine editor, right? :D

Ricardo,

Overall yes, I did like your reel. You have a good eye for layering and your shading and lighting skills are very good too.

I would like to see more then two (nearly similar) green screen shots on a visual effects reel, but given that your experience at this point is limited, it's only a matter of time before your reel will grow and grow.

An excellent start. :D

Cool.

I would: A) put more stuff on and B) don't show the entire shot, too long and slow.

If you watch my reel, you'll see that I should shut up. Your shot breakdowns are nice.

1) There's not enough variety.

2) Since there's only two shots, each one sort of drags on and gets a bit boring.

3) I'm a hypocrite (sp?) for saying that because all my stuff is long and slow.
