VFX DEMO REEL:
My name is Thomas Chau, and I am a Visual Effects Artist. I am a recent graduate from Vancouver Film School in the Visual Effects department. I am born in Montreal, Quebec, and I grew up in Vancouver. I specialize in Lighting & Rendering and Integration of 3D objects into a live shot. I can also rotoscope, colour correct, track, create basic particleevents, and basic mattes. I've always enjoyed making flash for Newgrounds as a hobby before I was interested in 3D. I enjoyed the fact that I was able to create a story visually instead of writing it. I decided to enter the artistic world of 3D to see how I can improve my flash by adding CG elements to it; the more I learned about 3D the more I realized that it can potentially become a powerful toolset in time and in production value.

Here is my link to my Visual Effects Demo Reel:

Hey Tom,

I like the final cut of you reel. Having seen your reel develop from the start of term four, it's tight and the integration looks great.

Good luck on the job hunt!

Cgmadvin - Thanks man, I'm glad that you liked it! The breakdown and editing was definitely an interesting part to work on. Let's just say that it was fun to work on something else other than.

JamesMcPhail - Hey james, I couldn't have done it without you. Your tips and tricks were always a help to me. The sunset shot was actually the funnest scene to work on, and im glad that you liked it. Goodluck in the future - and we better work together one day!
