Would you like some VFX help?

Hello, I'm a motion graphics designer by trade but I'd really like to help someone out with their Sci-Fest entry doing some Visual Effects shots. I'm most interested in doing things like set extensions and environments. It would interest me to work with someone who's story is not really effects driven and would like some VFX to support the mood.

But... I am also a huge fan of tv sci-fi with questionable effects like U.F.O., Doctor Who (Tom Baker era if you please), Battlestar Galactica (The original! Though I watched season 1 of the new series last month on dvd enjoyed it), Space 1999 etc. so I'm not against helping out with something in that vein as well.

If you're interested in talking, drop me an email with what you're up to at murphy@lasercade.com

thanks,
Michael C. Murphy
 
ooo vfx help sounds nice :)

Welcome to the board, Michael, and thanks for your generous offer. I'm sure you'll get tons of e-mails and find someone to work with. Heck, I'm gonna drop you one myself... set extensions and environments *drools*
 
Hey I just saw this --

that's awesome that this contest keeps attracting people with talent and abilty that want to work with us. I'm still figuring out what my VFX needs are exactly but I'm excited to see your stuff -- any clips online I could look at? Assuming you aren't already booked up, seeing some clips might change the way I'm thinking about handling some of my story telling needs :thumbsup:

thanks dude,

Jack
 
Ack, I knew I was forgetting something... Was going to get back to you, but been busy with all sorts of stuff not related to sci-fest. It would be really nice to see your work. Maybe it could drive me away from this crazy idea involving miniature set :cheesy:
 
You just said what most of us were probably thinking, Tim! :) Asking to see a portolio or some example of previous work is one thing ... but a resume when they're offering their services for free?
 
hopefuly its a semantics issue and he meant portfolio or resume - or just some way of getting an idea of the guy's work.

I definatly think you have every right to see a sample of someone's work even if they are offering it for free, cuz your film is too important not to know what you are getting into.

ohh... and thanks for the VFX footage Norm ... still downloading ... :thumbsup:
 
Hello everyone, I hope your projects are coming along.

As far as a reel -
Here is a little clip that shows some of the techniques that I would be using:

The background, box etc. are all a single photograph camera mapped in 3d. The kitten and the toybox handle are the only true cg elements.

I've been super busy up to the holidays but now I'm ready to work on some projects.

thanks,

mm

I totally agree. You definately need to see people's work before working w/ them. Like you said, it was just the wording that made me think "wow..."
I'm sure it wasn't meant to be pretentious.
 
Wow, that was impressive for working with a single photograph. I PM'd you a while back, Lasercade, but never heard back so I'll assume our project doesn't fit the FX you're looking to work with?
 
Murphy,

I still want to see those effects notes you have for my film. I've been busy as well, so no sweat there. Drop me an email.

Cheers, my man:beer:

I think this may be a dead end thread.

I haven't heard a word from this cat Lasercade in weeks. Like I told him in the final email that I sent, he could have at least dropped us a line saying that he was no longer interested.

It's a shame 'cause I was impressed with his demo.

It's probably to late to ask...
but are there any other effects guys willing to do a few shots for my film? I have a friend who's damn good, but I turned his offer to help down due to Lasercade. There may be enough left in the budget for a small $$ incentive.
