I'mma give this a little bump, 'cuz I stumbled across it the other day and realized I'm still pretty proud of it, plus it trailed off at around 5k views and we were kinda hoping more newbies would find it. If you can think of a way to subtly pimp this thing, we'd be much obliged for your subtle pimpin.'

Huh.

You just moved it from my "nah" to my "depending on my mood" list. Thanks.

Riddled with Scotts, that bus station.

I have ten bucks on "Tom doesn't like it."

Flat coloration is the right call, I think.

Click to enlarge. Each quadrant is 1920x1080.

Here's the Missus. This model needs some revisions, design-wise — stuff where I misread (or mis-remembered) the sketch — and it hasn't really been textured or anything, but. Ship! Once I get the main adjustments built in, I'll make an .obj available for anyone to mess with / expand upon.

I'd argue it's the either the first or second most cohesive, story-wise. *shrug* Each his own.

*fist bump*

That said, re: 5, I have the opposite opinion. I think it's their strongest in some ways. Probably not the funniest, though, admittedly.

Even as someone who is deliberately decoupling himself from pop culture, I feel zero hesitation declaring that Auralnauts are geniuses who are putting the finishing touches on a form of art that will forevermore evolve from their template. Their Star Wars edits are like Citizen Kane.

Let it hang. Not even skurred.

Status update: poking has not waned.

I kinda like creativity. It's possible there could be some other idea waiting in the wings, but as it is, it does seem to feel like things "bubbling up" and churnin' and new things being born around old things and whatnot, which is as good a metaphor as any. *shrug*

I really love Chad's general exasperation at the whole "actors makin' a movie about actors!" genre.

You like Swingers, right? I mean, that's not too far off.

Tom has blown my wee little mind.

I like the color associations.

Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time. Had no idea he was still around and still Star Warsing. I knew him a bit a decade and a half ago on TFN, was even on one of his radio shows early on, IIRC.

Time is weird.

It was probably me who mentioned it, I recall Mouse Hunt fondly. If I'm not mistaken, directed by Gore Verbinski.

(re: AO pass) What's with the guy-on-the-right's nose?

The music wasn't an issue for me. I think this is a fairly awesome reel, to be honest. Editorially solid, slick. I feel like it might benefit from one or two more VFX shots to break up the (borderline repetitive) mograph stuff, but that's more to do with what kind of work you're looking for, I guess.

S'coo as hell.

Holy shit, this is still happening? I worked on one of these a million years ago, had no idea they just kept goin' with it. Nice group of folks.

Did you expound on your Grizzlies elsewhere that I missed? If not, care to share?
