Monster DVD Menu HD

As far as i know there is no such movie as dinosaur hunter, I just made it up for this portfolio example. If there is a dinosaur hunter movie I would be more than happy to freelance for you. Just dont sue me lol.

A fairly complex project this time. Unfortunately there are allot of behind the scenes work in this pice that will largely go unnoticed. For example, I made the dinosaur's eye a full 3D sphere, just to animate it realistically. The composition containing the 3 claw marks and dinosaur was made up of 12 individual masks, and it only takes up 1/8 of the screen. Finding and mixing the audio sound effects was also a challenge, but in the end I think its a nice example, especially if you need a low budget Syfy straight to dvd movie lol.

Also, I remade my logo animation as you can see before the video. even though i like my white with drop shadow one better i felt the need to make a particle one. Mostly because I have noticed that National geographic is starting to do something similar with their ads and not to sound conceited I started doing stuff like that before they started airing their recent commercials. so take that NatGeo and curse you for taking my unique particle to text animation and making it mainstream! lol

What is the world coming to when videos like this have 72 views and no comments.

And a talking orange can get millions of hits.

The internet is full of great gems. unfortunately people drool over the broken glass on the surface and never bother looking for the diamonds under the dirt. if your having the same trouble try vimeo, it has a more artistic community, it may not be as big as youtubes billions of billions of users but chances are better of someone appreciating your work on vimeo... but thanks for the comment, its nice to know some of my is reaching some people, just not the ones hiring lol

I want to say that I am impressed with this Menu screen you did, if anything I would suggest I would say you should prolly set it in a Jungle environment, Not saying this wasn't good, this was awesome............ keep up the good work.I

@surfey88

Good luck getting up and running its a great field to be in Please Dont take what I said negatively at all

you have to start somewhere just dont sell yourself short either alot of work goes into making graphics or editing and if you are confident about asking the prices you want usually there is someone out there willing to pay it

Good Luck

@SLAMTproductions

Thats all well and good personally I wouldn't twitch my little finger for $30 I turn down so many people that want stuff done but dnt want to pay bugger all for it personally I think it undercuts the industry and I hate it when clients come to me and say well this other guys doing everything for a few hundred bucks I believe in premium prices premium results.  You get what you pay for people

@McMillionDesign well thats not true

just last week i had a woman come to me and say she has 2 graphic designers and needed one more making intros and stuff like that

made $30 for one outro and should make more soon
