Exelent Reel my friend! I really liked the harpia! Great rigging, can you post some work in progress for the rigging? perhaps that movie you send me, to share with everybody?

All the other works are exelent too, but the aharpia i did not see it finished 'till now!

you have some pretty nice stuff, but I would get rid of that music, it just made it annoying and hard to watch. Some stuff didn't make to much sense like the mixer board coming out of now where and the phone cords. I think if you broke your reel down into specifics it would flow better.

I liked the Harpy clip best. I couldn't hear a thing though. Very impressive nonetheless.

In the cowboy/western clip my only issue with it is that the robber had with him a suitcase. I think a sack or leather pouch or something would've been more appropriate.

Nice reel, overall. :)

Hi Thiago

The reel looks great. I really liked the last piece, the digital neurons, the lighting and compositing looked great. Well done

hey!, great work man! .Really nice reel, the music was fitting and the clips were just the right length.
my favorite was the flying woman and the stop motion type one...great lighting and rendering too!. can't wait to see more.

Very nice reel. I enjoyed watching it.

I think one area you need to work on is the flight of the harpie. I don't think she exhibits enough weight and lift in the wings. It looks like she is flying struggling instead of a smooth flight. Like she was injured the way she is flying. :)

Other than that a beautiful reel.

He-hey Mr. S3rial!! Liked the reel a lot! :thumbsup:

BUT, I am afraid I have to agree with the comments about the music and the breakdown.

I don´t think the music fits the reel AT ALL (sounds like an english version of LOS HERMANOS). I am sure that you tried another music with more beats and stuff you´d get better results... Would you try that?! :)

About the breakdown, I think that it would work better if you had it during the reel (like a subtitle or teletext) instead of at the end of it. Like, you have it at the end, fine, but then you have to read the text, rewind your video, count it since the beginning in order to find out which is the "Sob Nova Direção" video and then see what you actually did on that particular shoot. That sounds "hum, it could be better to me"... :)

About the videos, you know what I think about them... five stars from me!!! :buttrock:

HEY!

André Holzmeister - About the harpia... I've been posting on this thread: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=132&t=466096
There are some videos about the rigging process as well as other images and screencaps.

Booyah - Hey thanks for the comment and the crit..!
yes... I know that a lot of people prefer a "reel music"... more conventional etc...
The other music option I had was a Tom Waits song which you guys will probably hate.
But I'm working on a new specific modeling/texturing reel with new things... Hope to finish it til july. :buttrock:
So my a specialized reel is coming :)

Grevador - Thanks!! :) For sure that a sack should be better!

Alom - Thanks! ;)

nickryan - Man, I'm very happy to see your comment here! Cool!

stripe - Thanks! eee someone liked this music

Flog - Thank you... It was supposed to be a "pain to fly" in the original project, but I know that It make no sense in the reel... so you're right.

Silverwing and Scob - cool guys! you both like everything!! you should be my parent or something? ho!!
THANKS!! Love to hear you enjoy!

ExtremeParanoia - thanks!

Cadinho - Botar legenda porra? Ta de sacanagem?!
Heeeeey man! how are you? :)
Thanks a lot for your comment and your suggestion!
About the breakdown... I can improve it with thumbnails in the end.. maybe.
I dont like the idea to have an text over the image... wanna people see my work then think about it or ask what I did... go to my website or find in the breakdown... or probably just close it... ho!
Bora beber amanhã!

Please keep with the C and C. I want to know what do you think...!
