Shot 01 of ??. This is one of the reasons I love using Element 3D in After Effects. I can animate the camera with depth of field and motion blur in real time. In 3dsmax with Vray, it looks a little better but takes ages to render each frame.
Making a little short ‘tribute’ to something (for fun). I started to do a rough storyboard, just putting down any ideas I had as well as starting to make the thing at the same time.
Just a little challenge I’m setting myself.
Olly and Mylo animated, (Mylo is the speedy one)
The most recent thing I’ve done. A short logo animation for Little Pigeon Productions.
Design by Sian Petricevich.
So I’ve been handed a bunch of shots that are quite difficult to key and track for various reasons, this is one of them. Uneven greenscreen (over exposed, orange cast from lights and wrinkled) green spill/reflections and of course the biggest issue, compression artifacts from a canon dslr.
So far I’ve roughly keyed parts, you can’t tell from the stills but it’s an 8 second shot with quite a bit of camera movement. There is also a camera operator who creeps in and out (to the right) during the shot.
It looks a lot easier than it is.
Playing with Particular. I was trying to make it a little more tree-like but I couldn’t get more than 10million particles. I probably could if I had a much shorter particle life but I wanted the long decay, like the piano notes.
I might go back and make it for the whole piece of music.
I’ve just been trying to explain motion tracking, keying and rotoscoping to my mum…
Here’s some music, because I’m a massive Muse and Pokemon fan. Liquid State 8bit cover.
