Well, guys, there is no way I'll have time to finish my film before the January 31st deadline. So I thought I'd go ahead and show you some of the stuff I've been working on. Here is a CGI alien from my film. I still hope everyone will at least watch it, even though it won't be entered into Sci-Fest.

Very nice man! Wow, I'm sort of happy you aren't entering. At least as far as the visuals go, that's mighty impressive!:thumbsup:
 
ahh, a humanoid alien, with ribcage and all. I remeber that I kinda liked how star trek explained this quality of most of the alien life on the show (I believe most races were seeded by a single father race that visited the planets in the past).

Anyway, good stuff. It's well-textured (and lit) and it seems you got the dvx grain pretty well handled. I look forward to seeing your finished product. If the rest of the sci-fest entries have comparable effects, then this should be an interesting competition. Can't wait to see 'em all.
 
Dude -- cut a 30 second trailer and submit it to the fest for exhibition -- mad people will see it and be looking for it when you post your final

edited to add: that looks kick ass by the way
 
Yeah that's insane to not throw SOMETHING down when it looks that good... you're probably giving away a prize to somebody else.

I'm bummed about not being in it this time... but I didn't want to just dump any POS on the fest... so that's that.

To see some entries with that level of polish would make me feel a lot better about it. Come to think of it I feel better already! Thanks.

(I was planning to set my cam on a pod and zoom in on an episode of Star Trek TNG, but I figured some of the more clever members would figure it out.)
 
Thanks a lot, Pixel, you've convinced me to withdraw our entry, as we just can't compete with those kinds of VFX. Oh WAIT, you said YOU'RE not entering! WHEW! Load off my chest. :evil: :grin:

Sorry to see you couldn't make it, but GEEZ that would have been some stiff competition from you!!

So now that you're not entering, are you interested in doing any LAST MINUTE particle work? :beer:
 
We went the opposite way, with having no CGI effects. Your kick-ass alien makes me happy that we decided to go in the opposite direction.

Congrats.
 
Very nice grab! I agree with Jd... cut a preview and put something up! I'd love to see that alien in motion :happy:
 
Thanks, guys.

And yes, we are trying to keep all the shots in the film up to the same quality. I might put together a 30 second trailer or something as someone else mentioned. Here are a few more grabs.
