Demo Reel

[ShakeandBake]

I have not had time to update my site, nor my reel (it is about a year old).

I am currently in the process of overhauling my whole site and updating my reel.

Please keep in mind I am a compositor not a web designer or graphic designer. :)

Also the compression may be a little weird, this was posted before I knew proper web compression.

My first question:
Why is there no motion blur on the plane? It gets an unnatural look without it....

[ShakeandBake]

Thanks for your reply.

That shot in itself has several compositing problems. It was put on there more to show matchmoving.

I have some projects in the works that will hopefully replace that shot.

the dj and the spider are my favourite bits, I think the boulder dropping into the ocean looks quite fake.

I never liked that one either. In fact the reason I don't like it is because everyone thinks it's a boulder.

It is actually a potato. I was working on a short loosely based off of the children's book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, where giant food items rain down from the sky.

I put it on my reel to be something different. In fact, when I flew in for my interview, the first thing the co-founder of the company I now work for said was, "Love the giant potatoes."

I have better stuff now, but have not had the time to update. Due to work and health issues.

I will be sure to post a new reel as soon as I finish the cut.

Thanks again for all your feedback.
