You rule! Your work has always been impresive and you are one of the most talented people i know. I love your pice, if you ask me the best of 3d57. Awsome good luck my man! you will go far!

Very good work. The number of passes applied to your compositing work and itā€™s integration into live action is impressive. Great attention to detail. Only thing that looked a little off was the specular shine near the end of the whaleā€™s tail as he swam overhead in your second shot. But that is a MINOR crit. Nitpicking aside, your work is fantastic. Congrats.

Wow. Thanks for your kind words guysā€¦ and girls :wink:

I hear itā€™s really slow to download my reel so I am currently finding mirrors.

(mirrors will be soon available)

Sorry about slow downloads.

Only thing that looked a little off was the specular shine near the end of the whaleā€™s tail as he swam overhead in your second shot.

and yes burdennwoe I agree with u. In fact thatā€™s where I got confused what kind of look my whale should have. totally wet or a bit wetā€¦ and by the time I got to that point, I didnā€™t have enough time and energy. If I have chance I will try to fix it. Thanks for your crits and kind words.

a quote from ā€œWhat dreams may comeā€ I believeā€¦ one of my favorite moviesā€¦

Hi mistasam02 Thanks for ur words, but u saw my work on a siggraph dvd? is there a chance that uā€™ve mistaken with somebody elseā€™s work because I didnā€™t send anything to Siggraphā€¦? but thank you anyway. cheers :wink:

The guy that carry his camera around most of the time did it! Your work is awesome! You are one of the most talented, most hardworking and most creative friend that Iā€™ve ever met! Other than work work work, the class had so much fun with you! You are so helpful and willing to help any of us that have problem with our reel. We all miss you!

Donā€™t give up my friend!! Iā€™ll be here waiting to see more of your work in the future!

All the best to you!

Very impressive! as the title says, the scenery youā€™ve created in your work totally makes me believe as if there were a real existing city called ā€œwhale cityā€ somewhere on this planet. I also had a feeling of reading a poem when viewing your work.

Also talking about technical stuff, Iā€™d like to point out the compositing. It was awesome and your CG whale blends so well with the real background image.

Nice work man. Keep it up~!

#15

what a great potencial!!
just keep up the good work bro, and donā€™t give up before you go to military service.
youā€™ve got great potencialā€¦
great work.

but I wouldnā€™t mind seeing any criticism you guys might have.

anybody not from VFS? I donā€™t want this thread only VFS party you know.

#17

great job here taeyoung. the whale is amazing and well placed into the scenery. most deserving of front page. 2 thumbs up!

cheers :bounce:

#18

Wow you are seriously talented guy. Something that noone has commented on is the animation of the whale - I love the way he just kinda flips his fin over the last street light.

That is work to be proud of, 5 stars from me

#19
