Ahhh… finally something different from the VFS! :thumbsup:

Very nice shots man, very nice!

The whale was my favourite and the overall composition/FX was quite high-end, which resulted in a great final piece!

Congrats, and btw: from me :wink:

ratatat, Thanks for ur kind words.

Alchemist101, thanks for appreciating my animation. I spend a lot of time animating the whale and then at the end I figured that I am not an animator. now I know how hard it is to animate. thanks again. :wink:

showko, hey bro. you are being too nice. You and I both know it’s not perfect. We always strive for perfection but we never get there. but thanks :wink: u make me happy.

keyframekid, thanks man I am glad u think it’s beautiful because that’s what I was going for. beautiful whale with beautiful atmosphere. It’s good to see some people feeling that way.

Wayne jermaine, what can I say to you. Thanks :slight_smile:

chiquiflita, I don’t know if I will get it or not but if I do it’s all thanks to u… u are one scary human being. :wink:

Killrave, lol it’s been a while hasn’t it? I miss you man. thanks. I hope I do better next time I do something…

loocas, Thank you very much for appreciating my idea and work. thanks for the starts too :smiley:

Pumar, glad to see someone being able to see how much work I put in it. I kept working on it worrying they wouldn’t show up at all. well everything is like that I must say. any work we (CG people) do involves a lot of work, but people don’t appreciate it because they haven’t done it. they don’t know how much work it is to creat one single image… anyway I don’t wanna get too carried away about this topic. hehe thanks man.

Hey Taeyoung,

Everything turned out great! Don’t feel like you didn’t try your hardest.

I think the integration is pretty damn good, I was impressed. I don’t think the reflections on the bottom of the whale are necessarily off, maybe a little sharp? I do like the wetness of it. I also like all the little changes you made to the plate, which are not obvious, they add life. That’s a big part of vfx I think. At least I think it’s fun doing it!

Crits: maybe slower breakdowns? I know how hard it is to keep the lenght of it down, I wanted to show more on mine but I ended up grouping some of the changes. And the other thing is the rack focus on the traffic lights felt a bit too blurry or maybe static? what do you think? I’m sure you played with it a lot.

It was a pleasure to have met you, you were always willing to help. keep in touch! and good luck with the job hunt.

#34

hey! sorry i didnt get back to this on time… yea i saw this same exact “whale flying thru city” piece on a dvd my teacher was showing at school the other day! the only difference was that yours looks way better composited and a higher quality than the one i saw. is there someone else doing this as well?? the shots were exactly the same :shrug:

#35

Very impressive work!

For the Shot B breakdown > building lights layer, how do you do this?
Are you mapping textures on primitive buildings in the matchmoved set?
Thanks a lot!
