VFX Showreel

This is my showreel, showcasing the best VFX work I have completed to date. The work was completed with 3D studio max, Combustion, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Syntheyes and more. There are shots with Daleks, skeletons, Pacman, robots, tanks, David Beckham and more. I hope you like.

Thanks to all for the kind comments and constructive critisism. Hopefully I'll have an improved showreel to go up soon as a lot of this is getting pretty old now. The biggest downside for me was that a lot was built on poor quality video footage. With luck the next showreel should look sharper :) Cheers again guys

Did you make the dalek?

[markpatty1977]

Yeah I made the Dalek in 3DS Max. I used images from my daughters Dr Who mag for reference.

synth eyes looks phat. gonna get on it today..... nice work, im a graduate in animation, but my reel sucks, so im gonna do some match moving....any decent resources?

[markpatty1977]

I found all I know about Syntheyes from the official tutorials online. I'm not an expert by any means. The software did all the hard work for me :). You should try the demo as it's fully functional apart from the export.

dude man plz reply to me!

how do you do that?

i have 3ds max and photoshop

how do you like make them so real?

god man can i hire you as my teacher? olol

[markpatty1977]

Hey Shady110,

I'm real happy you like the work. The things to work on to get 3D stuff to blend well is matching the lighting, saturation, contrast and film grain. The camera angles need to match too. One other thing that some people forget is light bleed. I could go into more depth but basically it's what gives objects soft edges in photographs.

You can do this for stills within Photoshop but for video I'd recommend a program like After effects, Combustion, Fusion or Shake.

Wow, I'm an oldschool FX artists myself-animatronic masks, muscle/hair suits, and such. But I like what I see here. Better than some stuff I see on SyFy.

I've tried many times at 3D tracking with MatchMover, PFHoe, and PFHoe Pro and it seems I can nevery get anything to work. Great job on everything!
