Need help with finishing touches of animation - DVXuser.com -- The online community for filmmaking

Hey Guys

I am currently working on a short film (for more information go to: www.lostonmotuhaku.co.nr) & I was wondering if anyone would be keen on helping out with the finishing touches of the animation (two shots of a helicopter flying) just to make it look as photo realistic as possible. It was originally animated in Maya so it would probably be best if you had that software.
If you’re keen please email me at: seb00713@hotmail.com

Thanks

Sebastian

Is it help with rendering you need or with compositing?

or do you need visual effects?

It's all been animated & composited
I was just in need of some work on the rendering side of things (making it look more realistic)

Thanks

Sebastian

P.S. The deadline is soon, so if you would be able to help out, it would have to be as soon as possible

What you are saying doesn't make a lot of sense to me. You say it has been animated and composited. I can only get from that that it has been rendered. But then you are looking for help on the rendering (renderING, not rendERED) side, which sounds like you have a project file, object, animation but need help with the actuall rendering of it.

So I am confused.

If you have it rendered, I hope you had it Multipass rendered, as that will make things a hell of a lot easier for compositing. if not, and you have it rendered, it may be just color correction to make it blend in.

Post a couple of screen shots so we can see where you are coming from.

Ok, sorry... I'm quite new to animation, so I may be using the wrong terms... but what I'm after is to make the animation which has already been done, more realistic. I've uploaded what it looks like currently on google video, so you can check it out:

Apart from flying slowly it needs much work to look real.

lol, yea... it's not actually that slow in the real thing (but i did have to slow it down a bit to fit the timing as that part of the film had already been scored).

Thanks

Sebastian
