If you plan on tracking fast moving scenes, you may experience issues with cameras using a CMOS sensor. This is referred to as "rolling shutter" and basically distorts the image. With very shaky...

I'm not sure what tools your working with, but I have found the "refine matte" effect in After Effects really helps decrease chatter on the edges of keys and rotos.

great stuff!

I voted for Sankaravfx because all of their shots had a great sense of depth, great lighting/color and timing/ animation. Each shot seemed well polished and assembled in a way that established their...

Hey everyone!

I finally have my 2010 reel put together, and have tried to refine it as much as possible. I am a first year student in a new media course (mainly web/ flash/ graphic design work)...

It seems that there is a conflict in the 'guidelines' section... should our entries be 30 seconds and one shot? ... or at least 15 seconds?

Please advise...

I could not have said it better Cib! Great job! :)

The audio...

Attached is my final submission. I had alot fun on this one and also learned alot. Cheers :)

Applications used: Autodesk 3DS Max, Adobe After Effects and Steinberg Cubase

Attached are screen shots from rotoscoping in Mocha and audio editing in Cubase.

The guitar player in the video was not playing anything specific... which made it very difficult to compose music...

Shot 2 is pretty much complete. (Just need to add a better shadow for the guitarist)

I've started a stage in 3DS Max for use in a matte painting for shot 3, as the camera motion is a nodal pan.
...

Thanks Cib! Great entry by the way, it's very creative.

...OK so I have match moved shot 3, and put together some very rough comps so I can get an idea of layout.

Thanks for the encouragement guys!!! :)

I finally got to filming my brother playing guitar on the green screen today... It's time to start match moving and keying.

Here is a still from shot 1 after populating the stadium.

A quick test render after setting up a daylight system and adding a few spotlights for a more dramatic effect. It's time to populate the stadium for shot 1!

Here is some work on a basic stadium in 3DS Max.

Attached is a rough storyboard out lining the basic layout that I have in mind for a total of three main shots.
If it fits, I may integrate a few short close-ups of the guitar players hand or...

Is it appropriate to use stock sound effects & music?

After some very rough tests, I found it necessary to create several different variations of the supplied video footage. I rotoscoped/colorized the clothing as well as randomized the start frame for...

Hey everyone! My concept for this challenge is to present an introduction for a rock concert. (Inspired by Journey and Trans-Siberian Orchestra) I would like to film a live action plate with a lead...

My final submission is now complete. Special thanks to Sean Beeson for the fantastic music!

I hope the fact that the environment was completely 3D doesn't draw from the realism of my entry too...

Here is my final submission for VFX401:

I utilized Vue 6 to create the mountain environment and Maya to model, texture and render the drone. The snow, fog, rocket and energy fields were created in...

I am beginning the process of compositing the elements of each shot together. The main elements include the environment renders from Vue including the depth map for post DOF, the render of the drone...

Thanks!

I have been working on the drone and have finalized the modeling, UV mapping and texturing. I have also added a few expressions in order to make the animation of the 'movable missile...
