cool

quety101 · July 23rd, 2010, 04:26 AM

and what position would you be after?? You haven't mentioned that anywhere in your reel

transitoryspace · July 23rd, 2010, 06:46 AM

going for a composting reel. Does the footage not suggest it?

The matix shots are extremely confusing.
You need to clearly label them as you have with the rest of the shot on the bottom left. It has the potential to piss some people off. It's a fine line you're on.

such as

"matix shot borrowed for personal learning project" or something similar.

Well for me not really. I saw a mixture of roles including 3d animation and lighting. Felt more jack of all trades ... with no standout comp shots

But its not difficult to put a strap line under you name saying "compositor". Would someone in HR be able to recognise this as a compositor reel? I doubt it

was thinking of taking the iron giant and using the model and tacking it into a live plate..
matrix shot, should i just remove it all together.

Your blacks also need matching in the Matrix shot.

transitoryspace · July 23rd, 2010, 08:10 AM

well is the matrix shot that bad that i should remove it?

DudeFest · July 23rd, 2010, 08:25 AM

No it's not, it fine to have it there. Just label it correctly as you have done with the rest of the shots before it.

any suggestions on a piece that could wow people.

DudeFest · July 23rd, 2010, 08:54 AM

Well your first shot is a turntable of a robot. How about you change the order to suit compositing.

quety101 · July 23rd, 2010, 08:55 AM

unfortunately that's the catch22 problem with junior reels. I take it you have an adversion to doing roto (don't blame you)

The Matrix shot is perhaps the most interesting so i would keep it (label it as a personal project)

The Hudd display and the sky replacement are stronger. Perhaps if you do a 'real life' comp with the robot that would be better than how it is now.

Personally i would remove the iron man tracking shot. Thats the weakest shot and it drags the others down.

transitoryspace · July 23rd, 2010, 09:13 AM

well i started a live 2d to 3d conversion. so that had lots of roto work on it. just didnt get it done in time.
ive also started on a monster comp'd into a live plate. But that wont be done till another 2 weeks hopefully less

i do agree with the iron giant...will shoot some live footage and integrate him as soon as possible.
will properly label the matrix shot, and fix certain issues with it.
will try to get the live 2d to 3d conversion done asap
i was also thinking of doing a day to night shot

as far as order move hud display and sky replacement to front?

transitoryspace · July 26th, 2010, 02:47 AM

just a quick update.
currently working on a day to night shot to replace the iron man head tracking
and shooting footage tomorrow for match moving iron giant
