The quality of the works are amazing.
My favourite are the Vimpire & warewolfs (I suppose of Underworld 2 Right?)
Is the Vimpire all CG? Or is a Human with the CG makeup?

Anyway good job!

WOW that makes me really want to see The Mist! I totally passed that off as another lame Stephan King movie, lol. Excellent modeling, man, as usual! :D Keep it up!

Awesome works man - there's some wicked creatures on this tape. I'd love to see more turntables of the actual creatures in full glory, I know it's hard to get those sometimes because of NDA restrictions :( Good stuff all around :) Another NIN theme reel - nice! -D

Wow cool! Small world! I only animated some stuff for Lair.. so far it's been visually awesome but a lot of people hate the gameplay. No worries for people like us, lol.

The Mist definitely looks worth a trip to the theaters (if it's still out). That and Cloverfield have some of the sickest vfx recently! Again, awesome work brotha! :D

Awesome work Miguel, but nothing blows me away more than your home collection of figurines. I'd love to see an update to the staggering collection if you've got any pics!:D

man those fish looked good... the speed in which you pulled those off goes unappreciated! and look how close they are to camera!

you picked one of my lucifer shots... so dont freak out when you see that shot on my reel (when i get around to updating it)

congrats on your hard work miguel.

It is amazing dude, not only your reel but also to see some world class CG entertainment works in here.
Do the animation part and the texture part belong to you also? In the reel there is a part (I guess it is "fantastic 4 the rise of the silver surfer" or maybe not) in that an injured hand heals so as you give the wireframe I just wonder if the hand is totally CG.

Very impressive works at all...

that was so dope! The models were outstanding, animation was ridiculous, and oh i gues the lighting and compositing was pretty spot on. Basically some of the highest quality creature animation shots there are. Bravo, great reel.

Hey Miguel

Nice stuff dude! I remember your work on Museum when I worked there as a lighter...we chatted a few times as you were trying to Get R&H to implement Zbrush into the pipeline. Good to see you doing well. Really dug the giant creature that walks accross the road in "The Mist"...unique design and a very eerie sequence. What was the story behind that thing?

Hey Miguel,

Nice updates to the reel. My favorite has to be that huge creature with the long legs...the whole shot is just amazing...I really need to go out and rent The Mist.

Btw, is that a NIN remix? It goes really well with your reel.

thanks, the mist is actually good, the music is NIN remix, then i put quotes from alfred hitchcock on top, and sound effects from the exorcist. i think it all blends in preety nicely.

finding the music took more then doing the reel. :)
the irony of it is i literally went through like 400000000 songs, and once i found this one
i was so happy i left it to render, sat down, turned on the tv and to my surprise they were playing the movie "Se7evn" and the opening song just happened to be that same song...i was so pissed..

if only id seen that first.. i wouldnt have tried the entire itunes.

I remember really enjoying the short story so I'm sure the movie is just as entertaining if not more. You did that mash-up! Very impressive! Ha, at least you made it your own so it's still original. I'm still not sure what I'm going to use for my reel. Originaly I was thinking maybe the cover that Reznor and P. Murphy did of Iggy Pop's Night Clubbing. I also have some old school ambient/techno/industrial stuff lying around that I might use. Then aqain I may not even put a soundtrack in my reel since the sound is turned off and fast forwarded through anyway. It's cool though when you have a kick ass soundtrack to a kick ass reel.
