  • howwo its amazing awesome.....i was shocked

  • the face was clasicc

  • 1:40 ups error in the top right

    but this is amazing! thumb up!!

  • @MsElgranmax34 ...which is EXACTLY why itr DIDN'T end up in the final edit of the short it was intended for: Coruscant Sunset (also among my vids on here)! Well spotted - but thanks for the compliment! :-)

  • @TrigFX ok ;) genial and to my fav!

  • Comment removed

  • sounds complicated... but i'd love to learn how to do this. im in to film and this would really help me overcome my creative limits. I mean i can't just go destroying robots in a film and it's really just my little brother covered in tin foil lol

  • Cool

  • The wall behind is too simple , looks like a maya playblast, work on reflections and details, Good luck

  • <3 your style

  • You are so Amazing at the visual effects!you should be working in Hollywood!

  • tht was some pretty nice stuff

  • Thank you! :-)

    I have a new showreel coming out in a few days that I think is much improved over this: keep your eyes peeled...

  • LOL!!

    Not a show off - I've just improved, nothing more.

    The 2007 reel was mostly stuff from 3 years ago now . The new reel covers the last 2 years only - mostly last year (2008).

    It will show how far I've come - but you'll have to wait til the end of the week for it now, cos I'm filming on the next 2 days...(I work as a film extra too!) :-)

  • Um, if you think THIS one is good, then hold onto yer hat...!!! I'm about to release my showreel for 2008 - just going through some final 3D rendering, and some final motion graphics touches... ;-)

    Should be online sometime within the next week... :-)

  • hey trig wassup

    gr8 wrk yaar

    m too learning animation nd vfx

    m really inspired by ur wrk

    awesome

  • Thanks! Although I'm hoping you'll be even more inspired by my next showreel - which I am working on as we speak...!

    Good luck with your studies! :-)

  • really good job .. but the last effect .. i would have done it like pulling the skin of the head.. like opening a banana

    XD

  • Funny you should say that - I did EXACTLY that kind of effect on my first paid VFX job...! Which is maybe why I didn't do it here - I don't like repeating my VFX too often...

    It was on a music video (the complete version!)called "Gender Bender" by the band Ugly Mother...I believe that vid is already on YouTube, but I plan to upload it myself soon - watch this space... ;-)

  • Awesome work, truely!!

  • Thanks! :-)

  • Hey, sorry if I sound like a dickhead for saying this, but why would you render out "greenscreen" CG elements and bother keying when you can render with an alpha channel? Or render out a matte pass and switchmatte the beauty pass? Seems like a lot of extra work for no reason.

  • No - you don't sound like a dickhead - I did it because someone else privately commented that I hadn't shown an alpha channel in any of my showreels, unlike a lot of other VFX reels...and I was just starting out in the wonderful world of VFX! :-)

    But you raised a valid point - in this case, it WASN'T necessary. Maybe just overkill for "safety's" sake...?

  • great!!! really cool work there...

  • Thanks for the compliment!  :-)

  • a friend of mine wanted to know what the music in the background was called, and maybe if you know who the author was of the music, could you tell me?

  • The music is taken from the film soundtrack of Mission Impossible: II and the author is Hans Zimmer - a GENIUS! I had to re-edit the tracks slightly so they fit the showreel...if only I had the money to hire Hans himself to do the track especially!! :-)

  • Thank you - that's a very generous and kind statement! As always, though, I aim to beat this one - it still needs work... :-)

  • Insane stuff, 5*'s

  • Most kind!! Thank you!! :-D

  • Great reel Nick. 5* Love it.

  • Sorry for not replying sooner - it's been a bit mad here!! Thanks for the high rating - but I'm aiming to improve on this one as well...! That's for another day though... ;-)
