Here is a short film I just got online:
http://www.revver.com/video/756412/sanity/


The CG was done using c4d and boujou. I don't really have people around me to learn from so constructive criticism would be a huge help.

I am starting on another short now about Natural Selection 2 and would like it to be a huge improvement over Sanity.

I do know it isn’t just the cg that needs to improve.
I have been trying to learn how to better direct actors since Sanity and will also be looking for more experienced actors to work with. I’m also trying to improve my script writing skills although I do hope I will be able to find a skilled writer who would like to write the script.
In case you want to check that project here is the link to what i have done:

One that that I really notice involving cg is that the demon that the guy sees in the park is shifting a lot. That means that your tracking of the shot wasn't done correctly or it wasn't done at all. Another thing is that the compositing work needs to be color corrected to fit the shot. I only watched it once but I do think you had the lighting right on all of them its just that it didn't look like it fit in to the scenes. How long have you been working in c4d and what program did you use for tracking and compositing?

The demon thing bothers me a lot, It was my first time using boujou and looking back I see quite a few things I did wrong. One of the biggest ones is I didn't put the demon in the field of tracking pints, the model is actually huge and very far away from the camera so a lot of the small movements are dramatically softened.

I am definitely still trying to figure out the color correction thing.

I think I've been playing with C4d for about two and a half years.
