My VFX Movie Clips

Hi, and happy new year

When the day's work is done, the kids are put to bed and there is no quiet work that can be done on my somewhat dormant scratchbuild project, I spend some time learning to use Adobe After Effects, a studio quality motion graphics and compositing program. The learning curve is steep, but I thought I'd post a couple of things the kids and I have cobbled together. Remember to hit the 'HQ' button, and, if your internet is slowish, the 'Play' button to pause the clip until the file has loaded.

VERY good!!! Those kids are cute as hell man. LOL I'd bet they enjoyed making these huh?
 
That was more like an OOBE than a dream on the second video. Have you ever thought on taking formal compositing classes and making some demo reels. By the way, I'm going to London soon for formal VFX or compositing classes at Scape Studios.
 
Thanks very much, Brian, I appreciate it. I've been out of touch for a while - how are your SLC plans going?

Lecusay, while the idea appeals to me, I'm happy teaching myself the ropes and learning the particular skills I need as an idea for a new clip springs to mind. But the reality is this will always be just a hobby as I couldn't afford the pay cut! To much debt and other expensive projects on the go...

All the best with London, and looking forward to seeing some of your work on the big screen in due course. BTW, what is an OOBE?

Not going well my friend. Seems every career move I make is the wrong one, or maybe the right one at the wrong time. Either way, the real estate market sucks and I haven't seen a dime since the first of October. I'm working on something else and hopefully it will afford us a house and then God willing, a SLC!! Hope springs eternal for me though. Eternal optimist!!!

Laters,

Brian



PS:
I think OOBE is Out Of Body Experience.
 
I wish you all the best, Brian. We weren't hit as long, wide and deep by the GFC, and real estate has been growing here for a couple of months now. Hopefully US real estate will follow suit as confidence comes back to your capital markets.

Thanks!

I meant out of body experience. There's nothing better than spending time with the kids!

I'm in the home developing field and we know how bad that is so I decided to do something more fun and maybe this is the right time.

The only reason I haven't started my built is because I need to sell the F430 first, it's a really big liability for me now that the car is out of warranty... And I don't feel like driving something that I can't fully enjoy, worrying about the clutch change or if something goes terribly wrong.

Oh well, good luck to all of us.
