Magazines and birdies

January 18th, 2009

Just got the recent copies (US is a month late compared to UK) to 3D World and Computer Arts.

I just got done going through 3D World and they had an amazing tutorial on building a flock of birds. I tried it, and after a few tweaks, I got something pretty nifty:

Finally, webpage and portfolio done

January 16th, 2009

After months of seclusion, I’m finally done with my website and personal work. My montage 2009 can be viewed here.

I will also be updating this page with ramblings on anything vfx, motion graphics, or art related and most of it will probably be personal stuff.

Oh, and I’m currently seeking employment in LA or NYC area for vfx and motion graphics work.

I recently found a H.264 codec in a ProVideo Coalition article entitled Brightness Issues with H.264 QuickTime Movies. This codec does a better job at exporting H.264 movies out of Quicktime Pro and does not have the gamma/saturation issue the Apple H.264 codec produces, which is something I was experiencing when I was making mov’s for the site.
