New AE only Showreel

Decided that the majority of the work I am applying for is motion graphics/post production based so I should probably have a dedicated showreel. Also this side of my work is where I am focusing my efforts at the moment as I don't really have enough pure animation experience to pursue that side professionally.

Not that I am giving up on character animation, with a promo in pre production which is going to be animated in flash its not going to be neglected!

having big fun adapting video copilot tutorials. cheap visual puns are always the best.

MAgic Pencil

Silly experiment after looking at a tutorial on video CoPilot which explored the idea of particles being created dependant on the speed of the emitter (in this case my pencil). its a bit quiet on the work front at the moment so more experiments to come me thinks. og the music is the legendary SFA.

Breeders Examples


Did some grading and effects work as a favour, turned into patching up the graphics work, re working the title animation and replacing the end credits. the girl they originally got was ok but lazy. seriously she made the graphics title safe but just shrinking the whole composition in AE by 80% so nothing extended to the edges of the screen anymore...students!

Enough bitching The Idea was to have 3 distinct looks for the "news" footage, Outside live broadcast with the blues dialled up and on fast moving shots a little random blurring to simulate a fake auto focus. Live Press conference, required the least work, just boosted the contrast and brought up the colours. The Interview segment is ment to look over polished, almost candy world esque, giving it a slightly errie feel. again boosted the levels and added some faint glows around the brighter colours. All good fun, I think it works quite nicely, but then again I would.

but not to worry, will post the final short when I am allowed, and am looking forward to working with Doug and Gab at Telmiastori again.
