Latest update, sculpted in more detail and went a bit over the top...but that's how I like my monsters lol! Reminds me of the old Godzilla type monsters, really enjoying this project. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.158319014550328.1073741837.100011166900117&type=1&l=80b43d6f6b

Thanks!

Just finished this last night and wanted to share with you guys. Long story short, I started making a series of videos to entertain some friends on Facebook. The web series is called Bama Bound, it's a comical set of short 3-5 minute videos about a guy who goes around Alabama investigating...

Current project is a short live action film with a CGI lake monster in it. I decided to model a quick concept model in Blender, to help figure out how this thing will look and move. The link below is to the folder of WIP pics, from my Facebook folder. Will update this thread with more pictures...

Thanks, and I agree about looking 2d. The footage was so blown out that it made blending the elements together an issue.

Hello all, just finished this little camera tracking test and figured I would share it with you guys. I decided recently to start working only in the open source program called Blender. Long story short, it can do everything from edit video...do 3D modelling and compositing as well. It has a...

I know it was used exclusively on Battle Star Galactica because of what you just mentioned, quick turn around time. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your work.

You're welcome! I see that you are using Lightwave, use Blender myself. Don't run into too many Lightwave users, is it a difficult program to work with?

Wow these look great! The models blend very clean with the back plates, and the lighting is so good that it looks natural...instead of CGI rendered light that most fan films have. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, I agree...it could use some more lighting to spice it up.

It's definitely all about the music for me. I have playlists for different genres and they help me lock into that zone. What I like to do is put on my head phones and imagine for a while...let the images come to me as if I was watching a movie in my head. Then I just write what I saw in my mind.

It may not have turned out how you imagined, but it was a good and entertaining episode. Like the others who commented...I subscribed too. Keep up the good work!

Thank you, it was a learning experience for sure. Originally I had planned to do the light connection, and honestly got lazy toward the end of the process. I spent so much time figuring out the compositing that i was exhausted. Been working on a new shot for about two weeks now...I learned a...

Not sure why you got flamed for that, i thought it was good...especially for a beginner who is still figuring it out.

I like the way you cut the text overlays, very stylized. I had an audio issue earlier myself...facebook sped up my video and slowed down the audio lol

Sounds like a fun challenge...post a link when you finish,would love to see it.

This was my first attempt at mixing live action and CGI. The programs I use are Blender for 3D and Sony Movie Studio for editing and compositing. I learned a lot on this first try...working on the second one now :) http://youtu.be/moQWHklYGz4

Tonight is a really good example of setting small challenges to stay sharp. I am doing security over night in a place that has a lot of paintings and sculptures. Since I am by myself for close to six hours...nothing to do but film something. I used my cell and shot a mock promo for the event...

I would go with make up...save you a lot of time in post production .

Yes that will work. Do one shot of the actor with his hand where the head will be, but without the person in the shot....no table above the actor. Then shoot your body suit on table shot. You will need to either mask out (rotoscoped) the table...or make sure to paint it green so it can be keyed...
