Studios “Behind-The-Scenes”

Hey Guys

Many times while I work, I like having good material playing behind me to listen to, when i am not listening to music.
Anything inspirational usually is great, even if I am not working.

fxguide usually provides some good inspiration in podcast form, as do some behind-the-scenes on DVD special features.

What are some of the best informative/inspirational behind-the-scenes specials you have watched?

Newport Beach Film Festival: Tenth of a Century

Lo studio di design Elastic insieme alla società di effetti visivi A52 ed al regista Andy Hall hanno realizzato I titoli d’apertura per la decima edizione del Newport Beach Film Festival.

L’animazione, generata interamente al computer, è stata creata in modo tale che sembrasse prodotta con la tecnica a passo uno con uno stile alla Tim Burton e Terry Gilliam. Per il 10° anniversario del festival il regista ha pensato di celebrare l’evento usando l’estetica dei titoli d’apertura degli studi cinematografici di Hollywood collegandoli uno all’altro fino a realizzare una storia unica.

Ad Agency: RPA
Design/Production Company: Elastic
Director: Andy Hall
VFX/Animation: a52
3D Artists: Adam Newman, Paulo de Almada, Christopher Janney
Music & Sound Design: Robot Repair

Making objects emit light? Need some help.

I’ve had this nagging question in my mind for years. How do I get geometry to emit light? light bulbs, street lights, car head lights, flash lights, ceiling lights, luminous dials and switches. Custom stuff. I ask because this seems like such a basic concept and I feel like I flew past it at some point. Do objects that require that part them emit light into a scene truly have to be rigged and parented in Layout, or can this be (or should this be) done in Modeler?

I’m not talking about having these lights light the whole scene, just add to it.

It’s this subtle kind of lighting that I can’t seem to find a tutorial on.

Recently, I’ve glanced at some tutorials on Luxigons. Is this the right path? Point me in the direction!

Student Work in need of advice

Hi I am Danny Johnson and will be graduating from the art institute of pittsburgh in less then 5 months, so what I have right now are rough demo reels. Some of the small shots will be re exported or taken out. But tell me what you think about any parts of it, what needs fixed, be as brutal as needed!
