docphibs 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) my first reel i've ever cracked... and i did the cuts quickly so i can have something ready for inspire on friday (catchin a plane tomorrow morning... wake up in an hour... YIKES!!!) anyways... i rarely show what i do on here... but i post somewhat often. So for those who don't know me... I'm from Cincinnati Ohio and I have one year left to go at the University of Cincinnati's DAAP program with a undergrad in digital design - with a focus on motion graphics. I'm also 22 years old. some good ol' feeback is always welcome - gimme y'er worst please. I take criticism well. http://www.dostuffwiththings.com/ and i'll see you at inspire if you're there... just look for a skinny guy in a black ball hat hanging with some SCAD crew near the "carbon project" screens - i'll be around there at some point i'm sure check that crazy shit out. Time for me to get my 1 hour of sleep. hope ya like Edited April 17, 2008 by docphibs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

juicysauce 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) Phibs! Hey man, nice meeting you at Inspire. The reel is looking strong, man. Are you all done with school this May? I think the length is fine. If you could get it closer to 1:00, maybe it'd be a little tighter, but I don't think it's much to worry about. My only other suggestion is to get those reel credits up soon. The Buck stuff really leaps out and begs for an explanation of some sort.

But I'm workin on getting it done asap... just kinda wondering wheeeen exactly i'll do it... school is really getting on my back. Hopefully i can find time to get it done by this weekend... but kiiinda doubt it. And i can't really... think of a good way to have something act as a temporary way to explain what i did until i get my actual fully designed site up and running... (if anyone has any suggestions...) and agreed on cutting it down a hair. i've heard that comment a few times here and from elsewhere... so not a prob.

JonAndesign 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2008 You could design a tidy pdf with screenshots and short descriptions of the work you did, and then place a link to that pdf underneath the quicktime for now. Maybe it is a 7x5" layout with one page per piece of work Just an idea for a temporary solution until the full site goes up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dago 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 really nice reel! the skateboard animation is ill! love it. if you cut it down i would take out those scenes with "there are many scars". at least one of the two at the beginning. the one at the end is good! the first two are not that strong. then the second heart-love-thing, may be dont seperate them. at the first watch i thought it was a repetition. anyways, VERY cool work. cant believe you're only 22 years old. props! sorry 4 my bad english.. greetz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll definitely be reworking this reel really soon. And definitely take your comments into consideration. And I tried to find time to get a pdf or SOMETHING up there this past weekend but no way in hell. And no way in hell is it possible this coming weekend. I'll have it soon... just gotta find that time. When I do I'll revive this post Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Null Object 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 So yeah, it's dope and all. What I was wondering is how you achieved the very surreal grass at the beginning with the hint of DOF. Did I mention it's dope? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did I mention it's dope? and yes you did mention it was dope... thank you very much. well... not much magic to that at all... I just found two stock photos of grass i touched up and pieced together... i dunno if I blurred the grass at the front but i'd say it was probably already like that... the beginning of my reel is part of a piece i entered for the webby awards and for a personal project i've been doing. if you guys wanna check that animation out further... oh and the audio was done by Ryan Limke who works at Light-Borne in cincinnati... www.light-borne.com living (original) http://www.dostuffwiththings.com/movies/li...inal1_small.mov interactive advertising (edited and also had to be scaled to 720x480... there was nothing in the competition rules on size...) http://dostuffwiththings.com/movies/webby/...Advertising.mov Edited May 28, 2008 by docphibs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought for sure there was something more to it. It came out so surreal, really went well with those super mario dudes. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
