The Biped...

This is a small version of a biped integrated with live footage from my lighthouse composition which i had posted earlier. Added a little special effect at the end ,as though the biped is weilding a powerful weapon that goes off at the end of the sequence destroying the entire human race and giving me enough time to write this post (LoL i am so full of shit). As usual it involved the use of 3DS Max for adding the biped system to an imported camera solve from Boujou and then integrating all in After Effects using Optical Flares from Video Co-Pilot for the glow effect. It does however have some inconsistencies like absence of shadows and no interaction of the glow with the surrounding environment..hmmmmm got to work on that. Spent three days going through all the material at Video CoPilot by Andrew Kramer. These tutorials by Andrew Kramer are the very best i have ever seen. Neways here is the video posted to my channel. Reviews are welcome as there is always a chance to improve with evolving techniques. This roughly took 4 hours to create on an iCore 3 machine (..will make you realize that an iCore 3 is not worth to handle these applications when they are pushed to the limit).
