"You've come - of course." I put way too much work into this. This is hands down the most complex sequence of shots I've ever done in terms of digital effects. The whole thing took about two days to make. I purposefully used only free software. Note that this is a standalone trailer: I will not act...

I second Bonn-o-Tron's guess: Blender?

Yes, I did both the flag and the smoke in Blender. The flag is a 3d model with an animated texture, and the smoke is a textured particle system.

That picture rules.

Why? (to leonardo) Hypothetically speaking, were I to make a film in which I needed smoke or animated flags, I would want to be comfortable with the effect. That is what this test achieved. In reality, I'm about to make a space film in which I need a lot of smoke. So I did a test. And while I was a...

Not bad, although I'd change the toes. they look like they could break off very easily.

First off, I'm calling this an animation test, but it really has no stop-motion animation whatsoever. The main character doesn't even move. But there's a reason: This is an effects test. In particular, to test out making smoke as well as animating a lego flag. The lego flag is a 3d model, and the sm...

Here's what I think: - It was ambitious. That's good. - It seemed well planned. - The music rocked. - The animation was Ok, but it had tons of set bumps. It worked. It did the trick. I'd recommend that you join one of these three sites. Users there will give you serious tips on how to improve as wel...

Are you kidding me? "Bad" means "Good" here in the hood. Both choises are the same answer. One is just a cooler way of saying it.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Hey hey, I made the news. That's pretty cool.
