I would love to see someone from motion capture.....Im taking it now at my college and I wanna know more! haha

[fallg51]

@bmarko0102 That is an awesome idea! I'm on it :)

[TheMoreiraJoao]

can you do a tutorial example? pleaaaaaaaase.

something futuristic, like, a space ship, the earth appearing, and boom! the earth starting exploding. can you? :D

[fallg51]

@TheMoreiraJoao I'm currently working on a PopFX episode where I will be teaching the basics of matte painting (no 3d perspective panning that requires Maya). If you hop over to the G Cinema Facebook fan page (link in the description) you can see some screen shots of what to expect. But as far as an earth exploding tutorial, Andrew Kramer from videocopilot (dot) net already made an epic one if you want to check them out :)

This is cool a great new show, I really like it and was really interesting how you make that montage, I mean that you feature how it works. Great job :D

[fallg51]

@Hexpigge Thanks! Most of the montage was taken directly from Maxx's Reel available on his website (link in the description). Check it out sometime, AND check out Zoic Studios Reel's sometime ... you're mind WILL explode from the sure awesomeness that it is seeing^^

[CubeMediaTV]

Do you work on the new FX series TerraNova ?

[TheReelFilmGeek]

Now to just try and find a decent tutorial on 3d projection with maya.

@fallg51 hey check out these matte paints in the walking dead. It's like a montage of the effects. I was wondering if you could show use how to do the half zombie thing. Like how to make the 3d guts and stuff. /watch?v=GI6vq4zVK3I

[love4musicuk]

Very interesting and informative :)

[TheMoreiraJoao]

@fallg51 thanks ;)

[thoughtgrenades]

Nicely done. You should try & loop the matte painting footage in the empty black space you have around around the both of you. Looking forward to more of these!

@fallg51 AWESOME! lol
