Show Reel (Draft)

My first show reel in two years. I am still in the process of adding in more work as I model them. For now, my main focus is on the presentation of the models (camera animation, lighting, wireframe rendering.) I'm also trying to fix some problems with anti-aliasing in Premiere (most obvious in the jaggedness of the wireframes.) I'm aiming to finalize my reel by early March, so that I would be in time to submit this to Pixar.

Any suggestions, comments, critique is welcome.

Color Schemes

I'm trying to choose a good color scheme for my portfolio (which includes, flatbook, dvd cover, letterheads, etc.) I like the black and gold one because it really makes the model pop. Problem is that its going to use insane amounts of toner! Also, it wouldn't look good with a white border, so I'll have to find a printer that can bleed the image to the edge.

So I came up with a white version too. Save toner! But is it worth it?

Business Card Designs

Business card designs to go with my portfolio:

I thought that this giraffe model was my only hope, since all my other models are not textured or rigged. Emotionless, static grey models are rather boring, so I had to resort to using this badly modeled giraffe (the topology is all messed up because I did it long before I learned anything about good edge flow.)

Then I tried to use some of my newer, well-modeled models. But the models in their default pose, untextured are really bland! So I decided to render the wireframe of the model in a graphical style, which I think also fits better with the typography.



I am so bad at color theory. I was surprised when I managed to color Scorpy fairly successfully. (Spending the winter copying Mary Blair and Frank Frazetta paintings might have paid off a little.) The colors in this Scorpy drawing is still rather amateurish, so I'm not sure whether its good enough to go into my portfolio...
