Scott Pilgrim CG & effects

While I'm not a fan of Scott Pilgrim and the effects seem pretty cheesy, this is definitely an interesting video:

Maybe we should count the number of times he says "CG".

Also, download my game! It was just released today. :) http://effelant.webs.com

VFX Project #3 - Action Scene

Another one that I had a lot of fun with. It looks a little off, but I spent enough time on it...

This time I learned the strength of multiple takes. As shoddy as it looks, it would've been 50 times worse if I hadn't filmed it 10 times.

No, I didn't actually punch my mom. I love my mom.

VFX Project #2 - Doubles

The goal of this assignment was to create a scene with at least two people in it while using only one actor.



Created using a portable flip camera; edited in Adobe After Effects CS4.

I had a lot of fun with this one. One major thing I learned was definitely to take multiple shots and to time things better -- there were many screw-ups that, while thankfully covered up via misdirection, were not very professional at all (the most major immediately-noticeable one is at the end, where my finger & arm go WAY too far).

The Century of Self

Kind of off-beat and of little relevance to the class, but I thought for the first post here it totally made sense.

If you have a spare 4 hours (or one hour a day for four days!) watch it. May not be relevant to the class, but it's totally relevant to whatever you want to do with your life, I guarantee it.
