So, all the outside shots are Day for night shots, comped in After effects and Nuke, everything is color corrected using Colorista and Magic bullet, along with some Nuke tools.
motion graphics are all Illustrator to Photoshop to After effects for animation.
opening shot, mattepainting, a 30 second pan up from the ground, shot facing out from a glass elevator on Union Square in San Francisco, tracked in PF track and then turned Day for Night and CG building added, camera is going to go into the window of the building where the character is going to be standing, then jumping through teh window
your project is looking very good, i like the colour grading alot, cant wait to see more, keep it comming :)!
Looking interesting allthough I can’t see a lot form 3 still frames. How about some moving images 
Well done.
this is 1 frame from the interface sequence i got goin… gonna be 5 individual shots from 5 different angels… I’m trying to get some animation tests up but my server is messy sorry folks :-/
are all those shots done? Looks cool, or at least the still frames look interesting… got any video’s to share?
EDIT: yeah I wanted to add you look like a “contender” but no one knows since the updates are sparse and only ever 1 frame. Are you trying to hide your work, save it all for the end? It’s looking good, really good, but show more stuff!
I don’t understand why you say “& spoiler” in your titles, there’s nothing spoiled in that we see very little. The only spoiler, I’m saving in mine is the audio. Lets see your edit, where you’re at. Are you using the cgUploader? You said you’re servers messed, but you don’t host the videos, cgtalk does. Lets see the goods 
http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/secret_agent/challengeuploader.jar
that’s the challenge uploader you can also find it (here) so you can post video that’s hosted by cgtalk. Only thing you have to do is make sure the video file is .FLV formate. After Effects and Premier both can export that formate.
fantastic, thanks, ill try and have some video up later on, at work now so cant really do it here unless i get some time off projects
god, i cant cut a 30 second trailer… its 2 minutes all n all… do we have to make it 30 seconds?!? anyone?
I still need to add a shot before the first shot, i’m working on a big cityscape skyscraper shot that’ll look sweet once its done…
aaaanyways, suggestions are more than welcome…
5 days left… Crunchtime… doing a filme alone is haaaaard work…
Yep, has to be a 30 second trailer. Film alone is hard but well worth the learning experience. :wip:
thanks, think im gonna have to get the last shot done on my own time, and instead spend the last day focusing on some sound work… also re-graded it a bit, more up soon.
1 day left, been redoign some DI and working on sound so hopefully it’ll be ready for tomorrow… heres the 30 second trailer cut im going with - without sound still… longer 1:20 version to come.
Your 1st shot can be trimmed at the beginning, don’t need the matrix drop, just the run, the dial ups on the mirror can be cut much shorter. The sequence can end with the drain shot like psycho, dissolve into her eye with effects in her eye or have the zoom through of the tentacles be inside her eye going into her brain.
