zachrmTronTruly amazing matte paintings. Check out the  new stuff he did for Tron

My buddy Anselm did alot of this video’s VFX. Turned out great for such a  short turn around


“We finished 17 shots for the new video in 3 weeks and took over and redid 1 shot from Asylum VFX that ironically dropped dead on deadline day :(
I did the initial R&D (you might have seen this: vimeo.com/​14869572), the master particle setup and rendering setup as well as most of the rendering. Particle Flow Box#2’s BirthGrid as well as a Particle Flow Box#3’s abilities to read geometry parameters and shaders did speed up the workflow dramatically. Fergie’s materialization was achieved by John Rand with Krakatoa PRT Volumes and KCMs as well as Krakatoa Particle Flow operators. Renderings done with VRay. Supervision, some 3D and Comp done by Rodrigo Washington/Animaholics.”

Modern Life

really amazingly shot short. They had no money for this  project. Shot in one weekend and who knows how long in post…

SuckerPunch Featurette 

let me preface this by saying  im not a fan of Mr. Snyder’s work. Im not very excited about this movie at all. Though the VFX in it do look fun and stylized. The thing though about alot of his  ” look”  you can just kinda tell its been shot on a sound stage. There is this  disconnect  to me about alot of his stuff since 300. Either way this  should be fun to watch. Who doesn’t like hot chicks killing and blowing shit up.
