Seeking VFX Supervisor / Compositor for film project
Scene in a comedic film needs a top-notch visual effects supervisor / compositor. The scene is simulating two tandem skydivers in free-fall having a conversation as they plummet to the ground. Plan is to shoot in studio with wire rigging and ritters, as well as incorporate real diving footage. Wed like to get you in on that dialogue in pre-pro, and to have you on set for the 2-3 day shoot in April. The VFX post can be done on your own schedule.
Fee: $6,000 12,000 DOE
We most closely want to match these two references in look and feel

cebas Visual Technology Inc. announces close cooperation with Cyber Radiance to enhance the speed and effectiveness of their core software products, finalRender and Hair Farm. The latter is now available from the cebas website.
The two independent software developers intend to optimize their respective offerings through their new partnership. This will ensure that these industry leading tools will work hand-in-hand to get the best possible performance for their customers.
Image created with finalRender and Hair Farm, now at the cebas online store
cebas CEO Edwin Braun stated: Itll be great to optimize both systems for our current and future user base. Hair Farm is an amazing product and we are happy and proud to promote it in the future. Users can look forward to more upcoming announcements in this regard.
finalRender is an extremely powerful rendering system for using Hair Farm and Im excited to integrate our products more closely," said Dr. Cem Yuksel, creator of Hair Farm. "It will yield optimal performance and enhanced workflow for all 3ds Max users. Most importantly, it will help us extend the capabilities of our solutions and go beyond the limitations of today’s technology.
This agreement marks the second such software development deal, after cebas announced the cooperation with Sitni Sati and their leading CG fluid dynamics simulation system, FumeFX, last year.
The announcement clearly shows the commitment by cebas to offer the most efficient and best rendering solutions to its customer base. By covering and enhancing complex rendering effects, such as fire, smoke and now hair, finalRender strengthens its position as the number one choice for serious motion picture and game production professionals.

Zooppa is currently running 2 HUGE campaigns, with $18,000 and $20,000 to be awarded to the top video submissions of each one! Any videographers, filmmakers, documentary video makers, and sports fans are more than welcome to take part! Both of these campaigns are great opportunities for anyone whos looking to get their name out there, add an impressive accomplishment to their resume/portfolio, or make some extra money (maybe to support their own films or projects?).
$18,000 will be distributed among the best videos submitted for Hormel Foods’ "Life Better Served" campaign – which ends in less than 2 weeks and has a special feature to the competition that you can take part in even if you don’t want to put together a video! If you share the contest site with at least 5 people, you are entered into a drawing for $3,000 (contest ends 3/24/11)!
Zooppa was asked to host the "Human Highlight Reel" campaign by Buick and the NCAA in order to promote March Madness. It is a two-part $20,000 competition with a $5,000 Early Entry Prize (Early Entry Prize ends 3/30/11; contest ends 4/22/11)! Buick and the NCAA are looking for a short story (60 seconds or less) of a former NCAA athlete (of any sport). So if you are a sports fan or like making documentaries (or both!!), then the "Human Highlight Reel" is perfect for you!
Interested? Check out the contest details and prize breakdowns via the link below! To submit a video, join Zooppa and add the respective campaign to your portfolio/reel.
Btw~Zooppa members have been awarded more than $1 million worldwide to date for their work.

Is it possible?
I’ve tried and tried, maybe I’m missing something, but I just can’t get particular integrated in a match moved scene.
I’ve tried and tried, maybe I’m missing something, but I just can’t get particular integrated in a match moved scene.
The situation:
I’ve successfully tracked a shot using the inbuilt CameraTracker and I’ve added a few test objects and a dense point cloud generator to the scene for reference.
I’ve then set up a Particular node and created a basic coloured smoke effect.
I’ve tried to hook this up in various ways, copying the parameters from the tracked camera to the Particular camera, hooking the particular node directly up to the original match moved scene, or connecting the 2 scenes together individually. Nothing seems to work.
Is this even possible? I’m sure it must be, I mean, I can’t be the first guy to want to integrate particular effects into a tracked live action plate…can I? lol.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We are creating a short visual effects film.
“A man is stricken with a television for his head and finds it difficult to hide his displaying emotions from a beautiful girl he meets on the train.”
The live action film is shot entirely on the 5D mkii located in the london underground. “Scart” the character struggles with his emotions throughout the film portrayed as 2d animation. unable to control his thoughts, he eventually becomes overwhelmed. His imagination ensues…
