[SplinterCell37]

Your work on primeval was the only reason I ever watched it! :)

[castillovmt]

Woah, My wife and I can not believe Harry Potter 7 ended up being leaked out on line! Look at it now at watchharrypotter. us

[limbdarkening]

@majeekman - Sorry, all copyright. The real fun lies in making these things yourself, y'know.

[seraduha1]

Hold on. You worked on The Golden Compass? You saw all the deleted footage then?

[KSJ1989]

This is so good! I have just finished my first year in animation at edge hill. I am just begining to pick up maya, there is so much to learn! Showreels like this inspire me to keep learning, so thanks lol.

So much to like in this reel. 

I loved the weight and the muscularity of the polar bear, especially on the big screen.

What sort of muscle rig were you using for that?

[flapcats]

It's part of Framestore's custom tool-set.

[AnnieMouse60]

Ah, now I'm jealous.

Is Mike Milne still there? I met him a couple of times a few (cough) years ago at a Richard Williams masterclass. Nice bloke.

[flapcats]

Mike's semi-retired now - am pretty sure he's still on the board though.

[AnnieMouse60]

Oh Man. Now I feel really old.

[Truthabout911]

Great work your a true master of the 3D world!!

Can you recommend any good beginner books for Maya?

[spacemonkeyjim]

check out 3dbuzz . com, free video training, teach you way more than any book

[CARSONSTUDIO2008]

master

The first 2:28 was amazing but the rest was just a black screen. Why is the video 6:58 in length?

[flapcats]

Ah, it's a trick to increase the picture quality - youtube spreads out the compression quality based on size & time, but a black frame doesn't use much so the quality of the rest of the video is improved. Check out the Wall-e trailers (they're 10 mins, but only a minute of video) and you'll see what I mean.

[flapcats]

Of course NOW I could re-upload it in HD.

I'll do that for my 2009 reel.

[Rulitop]

yeah!! your works are great!!!! I hope some day to do something like this!!! congratulations for the quality of ur works!!!

[MagicianMX]

Awesome. I want to do that when i grow up. :D

[jazzyrockstar246]

Wow. you're good.

I've got a looong way to go...

[spider853]

Wow.. Harry Potter? I'm amazed that a professional CG artist share this projects on youtube with mortals like us :))

Thanks.. That was really awesome!
