I would love to, but I have two strikes against me:
1) I work for a major defense company, so most of my materials becomes "proprietary" as soon as finish them
2) A lot of my stuff uses rights-managed footage from Getty, Corbis Motion, etc. for one-time use events and I can't risk the possible lawsuit.
I just finished a 200-layer, 4 minute AE project for a company event in Charlotte, NC that used Metallica's "Fuel for Fire" along with some heavily composited race car footage. The ending of the video has the event logo exploding out of a giant fireball, then smoldering slowly as the president of the company approached the stage in a custom made NASCAR outfit. it played on a huge custom format screen, with five 60" plasmas surrounding the main screen, playing supplemental material. Fun stuff.
I'm finishing up some stuff right now for a portfolio scholarship to film school. I'll post some of the clips as soon as I get them all done. They aren't 200 layers or anything crazy like that though, but I think they're pretty cool.
I'll offer my animation reel. Some of it is pretty old and not all of it was done in AE. I did the 3D stuff in SoftImage3D, the claymation with regular old plasticina clay (shot on video, not film) and I used Elastic Reality for the morphs but pretty much everything esle was done in AE or just built in the Avid. http://grinnerhester.com/animation.htm
The titles were set-up in 3D space in after effects. I then used a camera to fly around and through the objects. The cows at the start are about 4 cows duplicated over and over, each time moving the z position back further.
Boon, yes, very cool stuff. Have you, or anyone else played around with Studio Artist. I've been messing with it, but I have so far found that the paint sequences look pretty strange on anything larger than the programs canvas. I am hoping that this is just my inability, because the program looks pretty flexible.
Not really a clip but a stll frame from the modelling we are doing for a HD show intro. Bike will have rider travelling down a futuristic banked track as we timelapse from night to day.
Work in progress.
It is a team effort with me being the Creative Director and Director/Compositor/Editor. Modelling and enviroment done by my assistant Burke Revet.
The client basically gives me free reign...(how rare).
I will take care of all animation, camera direction, comping and visual effects..
Once project is final, I will post QT. Should be mid-August.
All the cg was done in 3dsmax and the postprod in Aftereffect.
This one is for promoting an exhibit center near Geneva (Switzerland). The speach is in french, I have an English version too but not right here. There are five other animation clips of the complexe, but this one is the best.
