[MrOctopus285]

kewl

[avragehuman]

hmm.. is 0:52 those guys from area 51?

[imperialkitty]

movie!

[holyknight234]

my favorites would be the beginning and dreadnaught, and that bee gives me goosebumps, so much detail, amazingly nice job i say.

[prayerofthemantis]

Wicked stuff dude, Dreadnaught is awesome, think it moves around a bit too much, looks a little light..

[dagoelius]

grayson I like the way you have a real grasped on the mechanics of weight distribution through your movement sequences ALOT of prof animators still havent got this down and it shows in their work.

[pnelad14]

Do you have to be good at maths for this sorta thing? Ifso what kind of maths? Could you make a space marine one? PLEASE....

[hivetyrant36]

You are going to go far

[f3rgyboi]

name of song please

[graysonchalmers]

@f3rgyboi at :10 a link to the song on iTunes pops up...it's called Club foot by Kasabian.

[robotsant77]

@graysonchalmers kasabian?hmm that sounds familiar. oh yeah another video that also used alot of cgi effects had the same band.

[flip4000]

man so awesome great job

[chaoskid85]

Dude I recognized the building at the end and i checked out ur site, I also went to scad i thought it was a scad building haha. good stuff man i went to scad and graduated last august. i am a big warhammer fan and love your reel great work!

[graysonchalmers]

@chaoskid85 Thanks man!

[mjrdoctor]

I love the dreadnought

[NOD70]

dude you have insane talent

[DEATHSPACE2]

area 51 leaper. nice animation of it.

[Hj4rr4n0]

man this is great animation! Skils at the ending frames did camed handy! And studying at he shooting at the zombie... very realistic.

[powerofdestiny]

0:25

Door entrance or exit off ship?

[KornSarum]

This is approx. the way one of ISS modules look from the inside.

[graysonchalmers]

@powerofdestiny Hm, I guess I always thought of this as an entrance to a secret vault from an already underground location like a subway or air shaft.

[hellfire306]

0:50 Area 51...

[pudge789789]

wat the?

[MelkorBauglir25]

Cool

[mickandgreg]

AWSOME

[ilikeagent047]

who's song is this?i forgot

[Conn92]

Club Foot - Kasabian

[DblSwrdUser]

man u made it!?

must be hard

[VentoLT]

Did you create that bee alone? It's so realistic... Damn, you are really skilled. I wonder how old are you? And are you working or going to work and graphics designer?

[JinnothNurglePreist]

Awesome

[Jacko459]

lol 00:36 the cog kill the locust :p

[CrisstheNightbringer]

that alien thing in the beggining is from the game area 51

[pvdv1988]

Looks good, but the rendering kinda sucks... But as it was made in 2001, it looks good.

[Ultramarine998]

one word springs to mind here , Skilled

[UnrealAnimation3D]

i like the video and models but the video why is it so choppy like?

[CrimsomKing14]

dude that soldier looks sick and that gun looks like a ppsh

[DroidsRule]

This was put up over a year ago... Has the 'unannounced' game in question been announced yet? :D

[Geffles]

Midway have gone bust

[Techn0morron]

The big robot looks like its from warhammer and the one at 0:50 looks like the animation from 'area 51'. Not saying you stole it but it just look like it.

[graysonchalmers]

The Dreadnought is some fan art I did a few years back. I'm a huge 40k geek! Check out my site for more info on him. And the Mutant is from Area 51 I was one of the animators on that project. The special forces guy and the "leaper" in the beginning of the reel are also from A51.

[ivanchoiii]

Song

[graysonchalmers]

kasabian club foot

[josediogomafra]

what program do you use?

[graysonchalmers]

3ds Max for all the 3d animation. After Effects and sometimes Fusion for the post work.

[josediogomafra]

thank you so mutch, can you do a tutorial how to make the first soldier? that was the best 5\5

[RobotEmu]

You didn't do the dreadnought. That is old. Try not stealing credit for something you didn't do by putting it in your demo reel.

[ShadowCoreStudios]

He has it in his videos, who made it then?

[RobotEmu]

I saw this years ago when I was still in high school. I am a senior in college now. If he did work on it, then it isn't his 2007 work, but much older, like 2001 to 2002 range.

[ShadowCoreStudios]

I do believe he signed up in 2007, so he posted all of them in 2007...

[graysonchalmers]

Hi guys, yeah, I did this back in the summer of 2001, check my site for more details. Then when I finally signed up for youtube I posted all my videos. But until then, the dread clip made the rounds on a few 40k fan sites so you might have seen it back then. Thanks for the comments!

[alexzombiekiller]

what did you use to make this?!? oh and i bow down to you!!!! great demo reel

[graysonchalmers]

Mostly 3ds max

[Gunshow0]

[xXSc0ttfreeXx]

I want to do this for a living but i have a hard time explaining what the job really is so what is what you do called?

[feoring]

I'm envious, and would hire you if I was a large corporation making a game.

[aguen12]

Thinks

[Lostsenshi]

Nice vid

[MysteriousHu]

Very cool - your Dreadnought has turned up elsewhere - very nice jumpy ghoul and the golem thing taking a beating is a really nice design - smashing atmospheric hotel at the end of the word to finish with :)

[theBenenator]

amazing....

[dudemakupa191]

wat song is this???

[Sh0rtfu5e]

clubfoot, kasabien

[Tapout2GJJ]

Great demo. I am a huge 40k fan. I see in your comments that you left Midway to go to Sony Online Austin. Besides DCU online, what current projects are you working on?

[DemonicMidget]

Just like to say thay I bought DC Universe Online and it kicks ass. I was surprised at first thinking it would flop with all the gory fatalitys removed but that was not the case. It was just as epic to be super man or batman!!

[J3lazin]

song?

[KlemmerV]

Kasabian - Club foot. Pretty good reel!

[bboyjimmy]

sorry man I just found the answer in previews comments... thanks anyway - love ur work PEACE

[bboyjimmy]

[Icarcus]

best to know both :P

[kababasbaba]

nice

[freakymicky]

ey! that is the ZERO-ONE logo!!!

[robotsant77]

i would like to learn how to do that

[ghost62370]

[dood515]

dood!!! ur well good @this !!!!!!!

[scubakid1995]

Sweet

[al28283]

I love that robot. It looks so heavy!

[Jasqes]

It's a Dreadnought (from warhammer 40.000 universe), a mechanical armour for half-dead, Adeptus Astartes.

[manyu4534]

belonging to the space marines(that model)

i own the chaos one

much more scary

[lordtico]

I thought that the Chaos dont have Dreadnoughts. They got Defilers instead. PEACE

[mammemon]

Chaos have both Dreadnoughts and defilers.

[manyu4534]

yea but the have a lesser selection of weapons

[mammemon]

yupp

[ppaauull22]

walking life support ftw

[X3MUSEWOOO]

was that area 51 i saw??

amazng =D

[dreamsofmishra]

Hey awesome work.. But the zombie would have been cooler with gunshot wounds. haha

[Treety1791]

lol you must work at some sort of animation studio, if not, aply! I think you're able to take animation to a next level... :O

[tdn02jfe]

Somebody give this guy a well paid job..

[Bluetiger6464]

OMG HOW DO U DO THAT!?! :O

[BARNOL666]

man i wish i could do dat lol

[radnor1990]

great stuff

[Hewkii]

Did you help work on Area 51?!

Whats the song playing??

Ill probably find it but its always nice to ask. Please put the music used in the description or at the end of the video plz!

[dood515]

music is cub foot by kasabian.

[afroguitarist]

what was the game that you were working on?

or is it still in production? -_-

[Doomseeker2]

THas really cwl. I like the Warhammer bits lol. You ever consider making a mini movie for 40K?

[graysonchalmers]

Yeah! I'd love to! Only problem is that my time is a bit limited with work and all. If someone would pay me to take some time off of work and some extra hire a few extra guys I'd love to make a short film or even just a nice big cinematic for Dawn or War. Someone should tell the Relic guys that I'm cheaper then Blur and hire me to do some work for them! ;)

[HellGateFanticLeader]

was there also some stuff from bards tale an bioshock?

[graysonchalmers]

No but thanks for the compliment. :) I've worked on 4 games. Only one of them has shipped and that was Area 51.

[bonstanceus]

I love Area 51!!!!!!!

[nigel101]

take it you get paid a lot!

[waronmars]

Drop the 2d animation, it's hurting your reel.

[graysonchalmers]

Is it the quality of the animation that hurts or or is it just the bad hand drawing and scanning? I ask because I was thinking about re tracing these frames in vector to clean up the look a bit.

[Jalaskoski]

Nice, you animated that mutated scientist from area 51. gives back memories.

[netleyned]

What a gift! Well done.

[PUKANA69]

that is hard out wat is the song called ?

[graysonchalmers]

I music is from Kasabian and the song is called club foot.

[DemonicMidget]

You are soo good. I love your 40k stuff and I hope your Midway game goes alright!!

[graysonchalmers]

I just moved on from Midway to Sony Online Austin where I'm helping out with DC Universe Online. You should check it out, we just released a bunch of cool press at Comic-con in San Diego.

[jaisinator]

Haha, those are great!

[boncl666]

wtf !??????????????????

[HellGateFanticLeader]

Were those leapers from area 51?

[graysonchalmers]

Yup, I was one of 3 animators on that project and I did a bunch (but not all) of the leaper anims in the game.

[HellGateFanticLeader]

Wow that's Awesome man! when i first saw them on the sceen i didnt know what they were so i thought they were a red hazmat team but then it got up close leaped off a wall and killed me

[JacobMacabre]

YOU IS GOD!

Please do more 40K stuff, i mean ive seen 3D animation before but the Dreadnought thing was awesome! And hope this talent here gets you places!

[TehPyroFang]

do u do your own skinning with ur 3d models ?

im looking at becoming a 3d game artist when i leave high school. im getting maya next week.. so it starts here ^___^

[zurgu]

WOW !!! You should do a game or something! Holyshit these are good!

[mstrider80]

that floating orb thing is completely awesome!

[Verixus113]

You should make a Warhammer 40K movie like this.

[hewtoi]

your so amazing!

this is what ive always wanted to do!!

[M4Ddog7]

how did you make it ( with which programm)

[graysonchalmers]

Most of it was done with 3ds Max, there is a few that were done with Maya.

[graysonchalmers]

I forgot to mention that that editing was done with Vegas and the video compositing was done with Fusion, and the 2d work was done using Photoshop.

[candleguy1994]

I love your artwork, keep it up! Especially the 40K stuff. You should do more of that. That would be even more awesome. If that's even possible.

[Thecultofsia]

great work man! MORE 40k!

[mooch37]

Amazing stuff! Does anyone happen to know what song this is by chance?

[IBLISendofdays]

The song in the video is called "Club Foot" and it's by the UK band Kasabian, from their self titled first album.

[RobTheReaper15]
