Question / Discussion Fanart in Showreels (University Application)

• Upvotes

Hey!

I need to do a Showreel for my application at a university. (I want to study VFX and I'm fully aware of the current status of the industry. I know it's gonna be hard but I want to do it so please leave this discussion out of the answers)

I have made 2 "Fanart" Animations one with the mindflayer from stranger things and one with a Star destroyer and a tie fighter. All models, Materials, animations etc. Are made by myself. Im proud of those and really want them inside the Showreel but I heard that this is a redflag. Would that be a problem in my situation? Would really appreciate some opinions from others!

Showreel / Critique The First Two Minutes Of My Short Film That Blends Live Action And Unreal Engine

1 Upvotes

I've spent about 7 months making my film, Holy Sh*t I'm Dead. Mainly as a proof of concept using the technology, especially as a storytelling device, but also to push the limits of what's possible with a small team. I can't say enough about UE. I thoroughly enjoy using the software. Enjoy the first two minutes! Full release will be on November 13th.

Question / Discussion 3d Camera Options

0 Upvotes

I'm still pretty new to VFX, and I've been working on a personal project for a bit, but I'm struggling to figure out a 3D camera track for it.

I'm just a student, so the only programs I have access to are Adobe stuff, Blender, and Unreal.
I'm working on getting a roto (which I can do) of Jameson out, then 3D-tracking him into Blender and adding him to a 3D scene I've made. I've tried AE's tracker and Blender, and neither does a decent job. I've looked into plug-ins and such, but they haven't been very helpful.
I've seen programs that can do a shot like this, PFTrack, SynthEyes, etc., but I just can't afford that type of stuff, as I'm just doing VFX as a hobby/learning on the side for now. Is any version of a decent track possible for this shot, or is it best to move on?

Any ideas?
For now, I'm just keyframing the footage and camera in Blender to hopefully get a somewhat decent-looking job.

Question / Discussion VFX workflow

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am learning vfx for sometime and trying to better my work,

I can't relocate so I am looking to work as freelancer or work from home right now

Softwares I use are

Davinci Resolve for Denoising and converting footage to exr

Nuke or fusion for cleanup or compositing

Mocha pro and syntheyes for Tracking

I want to know from all vfx artists what should I look for and how to get better

For example: Is Neat video worth it if I have Davinci Resolve Studio

Are there some courses, specially in budget inside fxphd or other courses that teach workflow from start to end

Also there is shortage of footages as ActionVFX free footage give Rec.709 baked in them untill we pay for 4k raw footage, where can I get best footages to create some advanced showreel

Also I read Digital compositing for Film and Video by Steve Wrights, are there other books that I should specially look into

Specially for working as freelancer or work from home

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance to everyone

Question / Discussion iso1.000.000 is it real videographyer or made in blender or something?

0 Upvotes

Has anyone else seen this Instagram account @iso1.000.000? The videos look really weird and creepy and I can’t tell if they’re actually filmed like that or edited afterwards. His bio says professional videographer, but I know basically nothing about cameras, so I can’t tell if it’s some special camera, a filter, Blender, AI, or what. Some of it looks real and some of it looks almost fake. Does anyone know how he’s making them look like that?

Question / Discussion Cost estimate for a 1-hour 3D visual set?

0 Upvotes

Hi! What's a rough price range for a 1-hour custom 3D music visualization like the attached video?

​It needs different scenes for changing music genres. Not looking to hire right now, just curious about typical rates.
