How to remake this effect? + Animation help needed

Hi,

We are currently working on a short remake of the original samurai pizza cats series. There is an effect we want to remake but I have not really an idea how to achieve it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUDzxVWLOg0 from 3:24 to 3:36 I am mainly using 3dsmax and AE.

This is also quite a hard animation for me. I’m more of a compositer then animator. I have Speedy already rigged but I can need some help with the animation. If someone wants to take a look at it? That would be great.

Here are 2 shots from our short.

Thank you already!
Maarten

DANIELS Create An Explosive Drunken Video for The Hundred in the Hands


Directing Duo : Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan aka DANIELS Create An Explosive Drunken Video for The Hundred in the Hands

I posted a video that the two Daniels directed a while back. They just completed this new video, the simple story of a girl who vomits fireworks after a party bender. I really enjoy the match cuts and in-camera work that actually makes you feel as if you are just as wasted as she is.

We are really excited to see where Daniels goes from here!

My school film

Hello,

my school film I’ve made a year ago. Very little VFX. But I think the idea is understandable even if it’s in czech language. Rest of the videos are not by me. It’s profile of my cameraman.

I directed it, wrote it and edited it.

Apple iMac 27”and FCS3 and After Effects

Hello!

At first I’m sorry for my english guys…

I’m interested in buying 27” imac (new gen) and I would like to know how is this hardware usable for practical work. I work as professional editor and director – usually on documentary and promotional videos. I’m able to use after effects.

For my work I need just classical editing tools like Final Cut, but I’m also doing "my stuff" – movies. I need it basically for compositing, some 3D stuff is done by external co-worker. I’m just "putting layers together".

I’m not planning to use Smoke or Nuke, because it’s out of my financial capacity, but maybe one day.
Lot of people said to me, that I should buy Mac Pro, which is quite expensive here in Czech Republic, I want to know if 27 inch iMac is realistically usable machine for serious work with FCS and if its powerful enough for coloring, motion or AE.

THanks for answer

Nuke FBX to 3dsMax

Hi.

Has anyone has any success exporting a tracked camera / obj from Nuke6.1 into 3dsmax ?

I’ve done my track in nuke and setup proxy geometry but when I export fbx and import into 3dsmax, my camera and geom aren’t at the right axis. ]

Also, the lens in Nuke is 12mm but when it comes into 3dsmax, it says it’s 51 !

Anyone got any tips ?

Thanks
