[Tank[NL]]

whoa. i was wondering what you were doing.

this explains it

looking really good man.

some of the compositing might have been a bit off, but damn. i am once again impressed.
nice work.

[rocneasta]

how could you kill the guy, he had no chance

nice work all the same, very smooth and impressive

[I_AM_DAVE_COX]

Some very nice work! I hope it gets you some good attention!

I agree with Tank on some points.

[atneworld]

Nice! I like it!

[Freespace-3DT]

Tank[NL]: Thank you. Please expand on what I could've improved in my compositing.

rocneasta: World ain't fair. Thanks!

I_AM_DAVE_COX: Thank you! I hope to get some attention, too. I also want to learn from my mistakes, so do share what could have been improved.

atneworld: Thank you!

The effects were awesome.
As for the first movie, I think it needs quicker camera cuts, more explosions and everything faster, because right now it feels kinda slow. Third shot (for example) have only 3 laser blasts, and I've think that would be much better if there is 20 laser blasts, motorcycle spinning (like in the next shot), camera shakes... etc.
But that's maybe not what you were responsible in the project.

I really like the hologram play in the last movie.

[Tarik2d]

Very nice. I love the effects.

What did you do the effects in and post production?

[Freespace-3DT]

ayabaco: Thank you!

bobi: Thanks, man! As I said, I was the VFX guy, however there are less lasers because they were such a huge pain in the butt to do. When we shot the scene, I was expecting the camera tracking to pickup on the road... which it did not. Only the sky got tracked. So all explosions, etc had to be animated by hand, not to mention I could give the damn ship a shadow. I was so annoyed, but had to move on.

Tarik2d: Everything was made in 3dsmax and After Effects. Textures for the ships and robot were Photoshop, and Mudbox for the subtle scratches and damage on the robot.

i wish i could give you advice, freespace.

sadly, this is a case of "somethings off, but i'm not sure what."
i'll take a look at the reel tomorrow and see if i can at least pinpoint the area i felt looked off.

[Tank[NL]]

well, i'm awake and i just took another look at the reel.

i think (and im not sure mind you) that the color of the 3d models is off compared to the live footage. it looks too bright/white. this all in the first part, with the bike. the same happens with the dancing bots. the rest of the shots look really great.

and again, this might just be me. but you know, just trying to help

That's a real bummer, the lack of a shadow was actually something I was planning on commenting on. But in that situation, what can you do.

Anyways great work, really inspiring stuff.

[Freespace-3DT]

Tank[NL]: Thanks for the feedback!

Crispy4004: Thank you! But there has to be a way to properly track footage like that... How do they do it in Hollywood?

[mel_danes]

If you want to see a tracking nightmare watch the special features on Cloverfield.
Shudder....hand track bug attack.

Great looking reel Freespace. No get the Protoss done boy! Those cinematic's don't finish themselves
