Tommy L Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hello guys! here's a montage of my work from 2009. Comments welcome, always room for improvement. I know I still need to work on the sound..... http://vimeo.com/8678760 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahorela Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Really cool work and great variety. I really like the music for this reel, perhaps the timing could be improved but it definitely suits. My one cc is that there is perhaps a little too much repetition of shots and I thought there may have been more archvis content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one cc is that there is perhaps a little too much repetition of shots and I thought there may have been more archvis content. agreed on all points. i havent done much animation this year so it does get a bit repetitive. I didnt do any beat-matching, maybe i will..... The music is St Etienne. Fabulous, but unlicensed, so unfortunately that will change too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihabkal Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 wonderfull, I have never seen your animation work before, it is great. In the US you are considered a genius, in Lebanon if you show this to a client, they would ask what a bunch of falling balls got to do with anything. Talent is so under appreciated here.

Tommy L Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 haha, thanks Ihab. I would take issue with being considered a genius here, with the exception of my 9 yr old nephew (he thinks I know all the card games in the world and that Im made of magic).

jophus14 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Nice reel Tom. You have some nice projects shown in there. The music sounds good too, maybe it cuts off a tad short of the reel but it's upbeat and goes well with the footage. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinsley Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Great reel Tom. I also thought there would be a lot more arch viz, but it is very nice to watch anyways. Looks like you had some really interesting work this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strayrender Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Nice work but as mentioned far too repetitive. Better to make it shorter rather than repeating. I would also lose some of the weaker shots like the green industrial thing and the palm tree shot. Other than that, good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inxa Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hi, Like the music, hopefully it won't change. Regarding the shots I agree there is a lot of repetition. You can animate different cameras even with a same scene which can give some variations. I think. There are always small nitpicks, but overall I really like the animation.

luckyluc Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I like the mood of it. Nice and slow. The repeating of the "art thing with the eyes" I would keep. The green green industrial objects can have a one camerashot, that is enough. Maybe make it a little shorter. I am planning to make my own reel also. Seeing this one makes me want to start now (when I am finished doing my paid work.) Looking forward to see another version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy L Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hi guys, I took your advice onboard and here's another edit. Ive taken out a few of the repetitive element and the music ends more appropriately. I just dont have time to beat-match the clips to the tune. This will have to do! Tom. http://vimeo.com/8747246 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inxa Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Lovely. Like this one. I still can't match the music and movements much. So, I won't think much on it. Great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipjor Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Tom, Your 3D work is amazing... Your video editing skills not so great... I counted 4x's that teeth thing(personally kinda disturbing looking), socer balls 2x's same shot, dashboard 2x's... is that trapcode for the smoke at the begining, very nice...

erickdt Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I am also curious to know if the smoke effect in the beginning was made with Trapcode particular. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy L Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Smoke was just a movie clip. I jazzed it up a bit, but its the same smoke thats in the 70's hotel room shot. I dont think the repetition is to much now, but I do take the comment on board. I have watched this reel about a gazillion times, so I know I have lost some objectivity. Ill show it to some non-tech friends and my wife, see what their opinion is. Thats the most valid opinion resource I think.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy L Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Had some downtime so thought I'd throw together a promo clip. I think the lyrics to the DJ Yoda tune might be a bit risque, but maybe thats the whole point? http://vimeo.com/11445145 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jophus14 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Awesome. I say keep the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inxa Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 The last update is nice. I say keep the music too. I feel from the 16th second (after the kitchen view) to the bmw logo, the music goes a little out of track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
definepixel Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 The music is a joke right, you could never let a client hear that. Unless your client is a pedophile, disturbing that this is in a song in the first place, just odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erickdt Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Loose the music. It's stupid. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I would change the music. If you show that to a client or perspective client you will only be remembered by that song. ....but at least you will be remembered right? I would loose the song though. It paints a poor picture.
