Posted in: Beginners Talkhi,
i’m a fresher and i know that it is too soon to be thinking about an overseas job. but i’m curious to know the expectations of the companies there. i’m from India and for example if i want a job in Canada, US, or UK. what would they expect from a fresher. it would be great if anyone can add a demo reel of their expectation. (for the position of junior rotoscope artist).

Smith Foulkes: “Paint It Black”
Posted in: black, Boris Karloff, directing team, General, Nexus, Panasonic’s Neoplasma TV, smith & foulkes, vincent price
Paint It Black, from Nexus directors, Smith & Foulkes, is refreshingly witty. The color (or shade) black serves as the visual glue that binds the narrative of the piece together and creates a visual dialect that—like much of Smith & Foulkes work—is distinguished by character driven narratives and artful storytelling.
While the piece is entirely 3d, it maintains a graphical uniformity by limiting the palette and rendering each character with a soft finish. Evidently, the directors understand the nuances of great transitions and can intelligently craft a matrix of character subjects into one coherent aesthetic. As well, the ominous voice-over is playfully poetic and harks back to a kind of horror-esuqe delivery from a Boris Karloff or Vincent Price—making the piece filmic while still being commercially proper.

27″ iMac ????
Posted in: Hardware & Tech TalkHi guys,
I have a couple of questions that I was hoping someone could answer for me!
Firstly I am a newbie to vfx, not to say I have dabbled in maya and other programs for a year or so, but am now in a position to speed up the learning process.
Firstly I am getting a new machine, as my pc is relatively old, and can’t really handle what I plan to use it for. I am going to subscribe to a well known training site that has someawsome tutorials etc and was wondering if the new iMac 27" quad core i5 could handle complex animations, renders composit’s etc.
Another reason for purchasing the iMac is because my other half wants to it to run the creative suite etc.
I don’t really want to get into the whole mac vs windows debate, just some advice as to whether or not I’d be happy for a couple of years learning basics of the vfx trade.
in a nutshell, the machine is the i5 quad core, 8gb, 27" iMac with 4850 ati graphics card. I will mostly be using maya, nuke and real flow…. Would the machine be good enough….?
Thanks guys, any help would be greatly appreiated.
