Martin_Gunnarsson_2011

Real VFX will always have a spe­cial place in my heart. The com­plex­ity involved in mak­ing fant­astic vis­ions a real­ity can hardly be over­es­tim­ated and it is always a pleas­ure to watch a com­pressed col­lec­tion of impress­ive CGI-shots. Mar­tin Gun­narsson deliv­ers a neat over­view of his work at Main­frame with just enough behind the scenes foot­age to keep things interesting.

Enough with the play­ing around. Here comes one of the really big-budget showreels of the year, from none other than The Mill. This is pretty much the edge of what’s pos­sible and styl­ish, so take a good look and enjoy these per­fect visuals.

Elias Wider­dal sent in this extremely short but prom­ising showreel. He’s another tal­en­ted alumni of the Hyper Island motion graphic design school and just fin­ished his half-year inter­ship at +1 in Ams­ter­dam. Now he’s back in Sweden and look­ing for freelance-work and watch­ing his reel I’m sure he’ll find enough.

Particles — they make motion graph­ics bet­ter. Just take a look at Tom Freitag’s 2010 showreel and tell me those VFX don’t look gor­geous. His skills aren’t lim­ited to sim­u­la­tion, though. As is quite typ­ical for Ger­man motion design­ers he is well roun­ded and does ren­der­ing, mod­el­ling and anim­a­tion with great pre­ci­sion, too. Tom is a freel­an­cer and cur­rently works in Ber­lin for the likes of Emmerich and Pure.

When you oper­ate with 6– to 7-figure budgets and teams of dozens, things tend to get a little dif­fer­ent. The Mill USA has released their latest showreel and it offers a glimpse into the world of high-end pro­duc­tion. It’s the kind of work every motion-graphics– and VFX-artist aspires to, but remem­ber: this is the res­ult of team­work and vast resources — no indi­vidual artist could real­ize these things in a sens­ible timeframe.

Sparkle* Reel 2010

31
Aug
2010

This showreel from anim­a­tion & effects stu­dio Sparkle* fea­tures some inter­est­ing fluid and particle sim­u­la­tion works. While not everything in this reel is high end the sims are worth watch­ing and there is obvi­ous poten­tial for great­ness if the cir­cum­stances are right. And by cir­cum­stances I mean budgets.

Erwann Baudet from France sent in his CG/VFX showreel and it’s full of digital good­ness. After gradu­at­ing from the Art Paris School he quickly found a home in the more tech­nical side of VFX and toured the inter­na­tional cir­cuit of high-end pro­duc­tion for 8 years before becom­ing the FX Tech­nical Dir­ector at Animal Logic in Sydney.

My first reac­tion: Mind = Blown.

Digital Dis­trict from France shows what mod­ern VFX and CGI can do and it’s just stun­ning. There’s too much good­ness in this showreel to adequately describe. I’m afraid you’ll just have to watch it.

Wait for it … wait for it …

Stephane Pivron’s showreel starts slowly, but once it get’s into full gear it really shows of some fant­astic com­pos­it­ing. Stephane works as Senior Flame Artist & VFX Super­visor at Mik­ros Image.

If you ever wondered what VFX can do for your pro­duc­tions, look no fur­ther. Math­ieu Chardon­net has a whole lot of com­plex digital effects to show off and gives an idea what could be achieved in 2008. Phys­ics and sim­u­la­tion are the areas that take motion graph­ics to the next level and make a strik­ing dif­fer­ence. As a tech­nical dir­ector Math­ieu takes care of bring­ing a real-world feel­ing to out-of-this-world scenes, and he does a great job.
