Synapse FX Visual Effects Reel

[philipnova798]

As much as I don't like Asylum and their work, I will admit one thing:

You guys did the best you could on that budget you were given, even if the end result wasn't as good as everyone else wanted.

@philipnova798 Thanks for the kind words bro!

[philipnova798]

@efxfreak No Prob, I'm actually starting to become an animator myself. I've been working on CG, Stop Motion and Traditional Animation (I use Blender for the CG).

[efxfreak]

@philipnova798 Awesome man! I would love to see your work...checking your Tube now.

[philipnova798]

@efxfreak All you'll see is my early stop motion works, I just started working with blender and will possibly add some animation tests in the near future.

Thanks to everyone for your comments! You all rock! Sorry it's taken me a fricken year to get back to you, but that's what climbing the ladder in Hollywood does to you...you don't time for replies, I will work better to check these comments more often. Thanks again!

Oh Christ....are you serious?

You worked for The Asylum?

You worked on Transmorphers?

Good God man, good luck ever getting a respectable or fulfilling job. A ripoff company doing a ripoff cash-in of a Godawful movie.

[efxfreak]

@JJMDude Actually JJMDude, that Asylum movie opened our shop and payed really well...too bad I got screwed big-time from my VFX crew and the animation came out like crap, although some of the Transmorpher scenes in our reel are kinda fun, to us anyway. Hey, in this economy you have to take the jobs you can get and Asylum pays us good, believe it or not. For the record we get very respectable, fulfilling jobs and growing rather fast. I respect your opinion Sir.

Dude that's some awesome work, and also Down at Mcdonnnelz, that's an awesome song to go with it too! Electric Six Fan? :-p

But yeah, anyone out there...employ this company, someone in there has a great taste in music :-D

[FlashbagNL]

[efxfreak]

Most of our animation was done in Maya.
