Here's something I did before Christmas. Took me four days. Please check my website for detailed descrition.
It was for a spot where cars are doing stunts in a huge concrete halfpipe in the shape of the Chevy logo. Final res was 640x480

sunny: about a sec maximum

very cool Loki. When do we get to see the comercial? or is it out already?

Wow, this is really great. I love the commercial concept too. I wish we had commercials like that. Loki, I spent roughly an hour over at your website the other day. Just sitting is awe at some of your material.

Perhaps we can get a small clip of that commercial when its finished.

Peace

Dude, if you painted that crowd, then you did an really excellent job! And even if you didn't you did a really nice job of compositing.

LoTekK · Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2002 2:00 pm

damn loki, that's awesome... just wondering, though, was that a set extension-type deal, or was that fully painted by you? and i, too, would like to know the original resolution you worked in...

BlackPool · Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2002 3:01 pm

All that information about resolution and such is on his websit. I didn't know that at the time myself when I posted before.

SporQ · Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2002 12:12 am

just wondering, are those foreground characters part of the matte, or are they spliced in afterwords? like do they move and such?

Mr. T · Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2002 12:59 am

very nice. pics like this always make me ask about the original resolution... which was it?

ken · Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2002 6:32 am

well, that's PHAT, with a capital PH. damn if that crowd isn't dangerously close the edge

.

i'm pretty sure loki painted the crowd, they look painted. and the people in front, i'm guessing he added in later in a hurry, since you can see arena through them.

/me is also going to drown at your site...

The detail in that is incredible, Loki!

Loved your web-site, too, by the way. Your space-wreck images look wonderful! You might be interested in posting some of them in another thread?

agreed....stunning piece......

Strong stuff Peter. Excellent job for a 4 hour gig!

Hey guys!

Just got back from an interview at ILM - keep yer fingers crossed!

Anyway:

* that image took four days, or better nights I should say to do.

* people are rendered - because they're moving in the final shot

* foreground people are live action (moving) and , as you guys saw, hastily comped over the image, just to give a better image of what the final thing looks like.

* yes, it's fully painted - please check my website for other details like resolution & stuff

Thanks for all da compliments - it was really a quickie thingie. And I was lucky since the director was realy real nice and excellent to work with - so was the rest of the crew.

!!!!!
good luck with your interview! What job are you applying for or just any art related job at all?
i don't know how all this applying for jobs works... i mean, i've never even had a job. lol.
if you work on the 3rd star wars wars movie i will shoot myself in the foot. not the average high schooler has talked to an artist for Star Wars!

lol... sorry for the rambling. i really hope you get that job though, that would be great. you definately deserve it. just don't get too egotistical or god (or whatever/whomever you believe in) will take it away from you.

about the pic: i love it. good job. i thought it was probably just photo manip when i saw it.

btw, how much did you get for this? i want to get into illustration, but I want to make sure I'm financially secure, know what i mean? How much did something like this or (if anyone else could answer) a book cover, mag cover, or concept artist make?

liser: please don't ask me about financial stuff - I just can't tell.

MoleculeMan · Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2002 9:30 am

Good luck on the job! If they don't hire you i won't see starwars 3

. The matte is amazing, how did you do all those little people without going crazy??
