So, I finished up my reel and I thought I would post it.

Here are some frames...
Click the image for the reel.
You will need the latest quicktime since its compressed with h.264

EDIT: Im going to add some mirrors cause my site is getting a bit slow.

Original : plej.se/reel (http://www.plej.se/reel)
Mirror 1 : FileWind (http://media8.filewind.com/g.php?filepath=2095)
Mirror 2 : RapidShare (http://rapidshare.com/files/14369432/ArvidNiklassonReel2007web.mov)
Mirror 3 : DailyMotion (http://www.dailymotion.com/plejboy/video/1860130) (Like youtube so quality kinda sucks)
Mirror 4 : GoogleVideo (http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-7846051029092739868) (Not that nice quality)

Thatīs once of the nicest PFlow involving reel iīve see in a while!

You should explain a little about the first shot and how it was done (the tree growth).


Pretty well knowledge about mattes as well!

Iīm not much into the popart style but i think its great too :D


kind regards

Hey guys.
Thanks a lot!

feldy - Point taken, but I figured the once I broke down were the most interesting for that kind of thing.

tariqtaha - Almost every shot has info under the Reel. But I mainly use Max, Maya, After effects and Photoshop.

PsychoSilence - thanks! Coming from you means a lot. Love your work! I know what you mean though. wasnt sure I should have put those scenes in there but somehow they lurked their way in there. :) Might replace that scene when I make some new stuff.

Stumbled upon the link in the pflow forum and I must say it's a great reel you have there !

And is it just me or is there something odd in the scene with the weird mouth ?
Anyway, good job and good luck.

Aldarion - Hey, Thanks. I know that comp is a bit washy but If you mean weird as in:
-That dude looks pretty comfortable even though his jaw is hanging out.

The reason for that is that the original clip with the guy is for something completly different. I just added all the stuff as an exercise for myself.

PsychoSilence
01-31-2007, 10:49 AM
just bookmarked your blog ;)

and listen to your band! GREEAAAT sound to hear along the way while setting up flows :) so you are brothers (the band mate)?

kind regards

PsychoSilence - Dude! Thanks! Yeah the band is me and my brother. Got a new album finished. Mixing it right now :)

Aldarion
01-31-2007, 12:59 PM
Yeah I was talking about the composition..it's the colours or something that give it an unreal look, even to that real part of it. But the reel is still really cool. And after reading Psycho's post, I checked the blog & band...You're GOOD. Keep up the great work.

plejboy
01-31-2007, 01:07 PM
Aldarion - Thanks a bunch! Yeah, I do agree with you. I was abit quick with that shot. The compression has taken it into that washy feel but I hear what you are saying. Thanks.

PsychoSilence
01-31-2007, 02:01 PM

Great work and loved the music for it too :) Please put up some mirrors though, even if it's on youtube as your own connection is somewhat slow already, let me know when you've got mirrors in place and I'll plug this.

Great! What els can I say? Did you do all of that or what field where you responsible for? All of it? If so, thats awesome :thumbsup:

The music is great too.

eggsrgood
02-01-2007, 05:17 AM
love it. I have watched it four times now but mainly because of the music. Did you mix it with cocaine or something cause it's very addictive?

plejboy
02-01-2007, 09:45 AM
Thanks a lot!

Per-Anders - Thanks! Im gonna find some mirrors right away!
Ac0rN - Im sort of a generalist so Iv'e done pretty much everything on the reel. Some designstuff was made by a coworker. (like the bird in the end, I did the animation on that) Otherwise its mostly me :)
eggsrgood - yeah the music is great! there are some pretty good remixes of it aswell.

Does anybody know about any good mirror sites for my reel? Cause my connection is getting slow. :)

Hey.

Gkaine - thank you but you're the one being nice! :)

Brian Whitmire - Thanks. Blur is sweet. you guys do some amazing stuff!

tanicdesigns - I started trying to do this kind of stuff ever since I saw Terminator 2. :)
I've learnt the things I know by myself, through forums like this one and people like Allan Mckay (http://www.allanmckay.com/index.htm), Pete Draper (http://www.xenomorphic.co.uk/education.htm), Stu Maschwitz (http://prolost.blogspot.com/index.html). There are so much knowledge around places like these. You just have to be a sponge! :)

mayazeus- Cool thanks!

anim_ziggy - your my friend on myspace now :)

ZippZopp - Ratatat are freaking sweet!

irananimator - Cheers dude!

great reel, it's not only well made but the design is great as well, could you elaborate a bit on the first shot with pflow? btw, just listening to your music, a friend of me likes it as well, coincidence!

Awesome reel... I wish I found this first and plugged it :)

So have I got this right... You and your brother are professional artists (music) and then in your spare time you do big budjet advertising jobs?? That can't be true... surely that type of talent is to rare ;)

You guys are WAY too nice! Im SO flattered that so many people have watched my reel.
Thanks a bunch!

scroll-lock - Glad you like our music. Got a new album coming out pretty soon. :)

Jelmer - Im gonna put the first scenes file on the pflow forum as soon as I get back to the office but basicly I just cut up the logo, Scripted the blocks into Pflow and used a scale and go to rotation (triggered by a deflector) to make the animation. Galagast wrote THIS (http://www.orbaz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=326&highlight=fragment) over at orbaz. Also Allan mckay have great tutorials on these things.

tilite - you are way too kind. Me and my brother do make music but we both do other stuff we like aswell. I love visual effects so thats what I work with. :)

Vilken grym showreel Arvid!

nice to see that you're still continuing to evolve :-). Still at school, but we're done here in june, so that'll be that. Thinking about coming over to London soon, so maybe then we'll hook up for a lunch or something. Need to buy some new records...


really love your reel and it's always nice when you have breakdowns.

best regards
