VFX Reel 2008

Hello everyone,

Been a bit of a while between posts for me but I’ve finally got around to cutting a demo reel. It is comprised of mainly TVC work from the last couple of years, starting out fresh as a junior online editor/compositor.

There are a few shots that aren’t really doing me many favors and a couple more that are too cutty, so there will be an updated cut up sometime soon.

I would love to hear any comments, suggestions and criticisms people may have. Click the quicktime attachment below to view.

Cheers

Copy or render visibile percentage of partially obscured layer

I was wondering if there’s a trick to copy the visible amount of a layer covered in partially transparent layers to a new layer (adjustment layer) or render it out with an alpha channel?

This would be convenient to create for example a color cast or glow on top of everything that only originates from that layer.

Universal Everything – Forever

Se siete stati per il periodo natalizio a Londra avrete sicuramente visto una nuova strabiliante installazione interattiva ad opera di Universal Everything, FOREVER, esposta nei giardini John Madejski al Victoria&Albert. La location non era nuova per questo genere di progetti, infatti potete vedere cosa vi hanno preparato in precedenza qui
Forever nasce dalla collaborazione tra Matt Pyke, Karsten Schmidt e Simon Pyke, consiste in una grossa video installazione di animazioni perpetue che si muovono in sincrono con qualsiasi traccia musicale. Molto molto interessante, di seguito il video di presentazione del progetto ed il suo making of.
