Anyone here own a Ferrari?
Posted in: The PadI saw the movie "Skyline" last night and one of the characters in it was a visual effects artist who lived in a penthouse and drove a Ferrari.
I was just wondering how realistic that was….. 😀

Short/Demo film…
Posted in: VFXTalk Short Film ForumHello! I’m new to the forum. Been browsing for a bit and love what I see. I’m an actor filming The Three (www.thethreefilm.com) at the same mine as George Romero’s Day of the Dead, starring opposite John Amplas and Lori Cardille. While on our down time filming we got a really great idea for a feature film. So we’re allowed to film a demo short in order to show the studio what our vision is for the feature film. This demo short isn’t attached to The Three film at all only by me and fellow producer Robin.
We’re filming a live-action dark intense HD action film with several zombies. It’s based on a very popular video game not Resident Evil. We can’t indulge which video game we’re filming yet unless you are working on it. What I’m looking for is someone to handle the CG effects. As for the CG effects we’re looking for freezing/icy effects over several characters, a chain with a hook whipping/flying through the air, and blood splatters. If you can also do fire on a character that will be a plus but now a priority.
We are only filming a demo short for now so funding is very limited. We can guarantee credit and a copy of the film. You’re work will be looked at for the feature as well. You will definitely get exposure for this demo film. Feel free to email me. Thanks!

Greetings!
Posted in: Beginners TalkHey everyone!
I just joined here because I was looking for a community that shares my passion and interest in visual effects and animation.
I’m a junior at University of the Pacific studying Graphic Design and Photography. I’m currently trying to get into graduate school for Animation and teaching myself how to use Maya.
I have many questions that need answering regarding what I should look into more, what I should study, etc. I’m interested in both animation AND visual effects, but I don’t know which field I want to pursue. I have friends that work at ILM and Pixar and I’ve been to both a few times and I absolutely love both.
I am also applying for an internship this summer, but I want to do something closely related to my interests (not just graphic design) so I can start getting my foot in the door. What are some good areas to apply for? I live in San Jose, CA so I’m very close to ILM and Pixar and Dreamworks.
I have some more questions, but I gotta run so I’ll post them up soon.
Very excited to be here!
