Short Film: Diabolus Domi

Hi Guys,

I have recently dipped my toes into filmmaking and VFX and made a film for the DVXUser Mosterfest film festival.

The creature started as a poser mesh which was modified in Mudbox. It was then animated and rendered in Softimage and composited in Ae.

This is my first attempt and I’d love to get feedback on how I can improve the animation and compositing of the creature.

I hope you like it.

Wire Removal Job

Hi guys,

This is not so much a job offer but a "How much would it cost you to do this" quote.

The shot http://vimeo.com/7772591 (Password: puck) is a clip done by a guy at my school shot in horrible circumstances

(EX1 + Redrock on 35mm lens + horrible rig + nighttime + People+ DOF shift ) etc

How much would it cost to remove the wires for this whole sequence or would you just reshoot it as i would with a better rig that doesn’t move as much?

Cheers for your help,

Matt

How to simulate particles when time slows down and speeds back up

I’m doing a shot for production right now in which the animator animated a scene going into slow-mo, and then going back to normal speed again.
Is there some sort of trick in getting the particle simulation to at least ACT the way you’d expect?

I realize the animator could’ve provided me w/ a slow-motion version of the shot and I can speed it up and slow it down in comp, but right now that’s not the case (though I really wish it was)

am I just stuck having to use forces to drag and push the particles to fake the dynamics?
