Gimorah Handycam

I found an old footage of a neighboring motel on fire, so naturally I added a CGI creature that I named Gimorah to be in the shot, that is why he is not in the center. I animated the giant penguin in 3dsmax, did the compositing in Adobe After Effects, enhanced some sound fx in Adobe audition, and finished everything up in Adobe Premiere all in a couple of hours. I also want to give a special thanks to two people, without them, I couldn't even do stuff like this. Thanks Andrew Kramer of videocopilot.net and Jerzy Drozda Jr from Maltaannon.com. You guys are awesome! Thanks so much for your tutorials!

Here's some of my CG "work in progress"

I've been interested in CGI and compositing since the first time I watched movies/TV shows like Tron, Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future, Young Sherlock Holmes, Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park. Over the years, I purchased several animation programs to see what I can do. Here are some examples of my work in progress stuff.

The Snowman was my first attempt in make a short CGI film in one weekend, to see if I could. I started this on a Saturday and finished it on Monday morning. The animation is a bit sloppy but I think I accomplished what I was set out to do:


I pushed myself once again, to see what I could do in just a day, so I made this in about 12 hours. It was mostly render time that took so long. Yes it's another snowman short, lol:
