Hasta La Motion!

First of all, I guess introductions are in order since I’m new here. My name is Milton, I’m currently ending my final graduation year here in Portugal in Cinema and Video Studies, and one of my late passions has been working on film post-production, namely color grading and compositing.

Most of what I’ve learned however came from reading and watching a lot of online source material like tutorials and such, meaning I’m still very “green” in this field.
However, having been experimenting and working a lot with home recordings and softwares like Adobe After Effects, Mocha and a short two month foundation course in 3D Max, I managed to get myself a position as Chief of Post-Production on two of this years’ graduation short-films (in order to complete our graduation, we have to work on five 8 min. short films).

One of such projects is (for now) called “The White Board”, and it’s a retro-sci-fi sort of flick set um in a world where emotions are illegal, and literally sucked in from the eyes of people in order to contain them. For me this has been a challange, for in each shot of this 7 min. long film I have to essencially mask and darken the actresse’s eyes or give them a glowing blueish tone by the final scenes.

I’m gonna be posting some shots to showcase the work I’ve been doing. For this one, a quick insert shot of a scene where a machine is sucking an emotion through an eye, I used AFX CS4 for Compositing, and Avid DS Nitris for Color Correction.

Sorry for the lenghy post and equaly boring introduction.

Also, sorry for my terrible english!

Hey guys, what’s up?

Just another guy (22) here, trying to make my way towards the VFX industry.
I’ve been going at it since I was 13. Never worked on anything professionally.

Been seeing a lot of amazing stuff here. Very motivating.

Thought I’d share two of my match moving practice tests.
It’s not much, especially compared to the quality shown on these boards.

Second one also features a simple fire simulation via FumeFX. I’m still trying to get the hand of FumeFX, as it intrigues me.

I’d love to hear any comments, suggestions, crits.
Tips would be appreciated to. I have so much to learn. ;P

Wow. Looks amazing.

Here are some stills from what we have been working on the last couple of months. Our story takes place in the middle of the tropical jungle where two photographers crashed their plane. We follow them through a painfull journey struggling for food. Our deadline is set to 6th of june.

Hi all,

I’m working on a school project, a music video, and I’m trying to get the word out and get some help funding it. I’m a senior at DePaul University’s film program in Chicago.

I’m working with a bunch of students from school and a few industry professionals. We need to raise funds for hard-drives for Red One footage, rental fees of a dance stage, a truck for delivery, and food for the cast/crew for the 3 day shoot.

We will be doing lots of compositing with Flame with help from Optimus studio from Chicago.

Anything helps! Please check out this link for more information about the project and how you can help!

Thanks so much,

Corey Robert
