Hasta La Motion!

I thought it might be about time for me to actually start posting, I’ve been lurking for god knows how long…

My name’s Miguel Santana, I’m a second year student of a VFX degree at the University of Hertfordshire. I’ve done freelance work in a range of industries, from photography to shooting music videos to DOP and video editing I was also a part time generalist for over a year at a small company, doing all sorts of 3d and VFX roles along my first year of Uni.

Here’s my website/blog: http://www.miguelsantana.net

I’ve also written a couple of tutorials for the PSDTuts website, particularly this one on producing some concept art. Mind you, I’m not the best concept artist!

Here’s my Winter 2010 Reel, featuring Uni work, Personal work and Freelance work:

And a recent piece, it was a project for our course in which the guy from Analog who produced the advert gave us some plates and 3d geometry, and asked us to produce two shots each.

I’ve been having a really tough time working out what I’d like to do, but at the moment I’m leaning towards feature film compositing… So a lot of roto needed I guess!

For thumbnail purposes, I’ll attach one of my images below. It’s a full 3d scene that was featured in 3dWorld mag, 3dTotal and 3d Creative. (See the press cuttings here!)

Thanks for watching, it would be lovely to hear what you think of my work!

let me know what u think…
