Music Video

[GregCooper]

Just finished this fan video for a track by Andy Shauf. Mostly rendered with Vray GPU, some parts CPU as required. Hope you like it.

Dude, that's some really great work on many different levels! Well done!!!

[Neilg]

This is really nuts, outstanding work. love the soft treatment across the board.

[squintnic]

very nice work
making music videos in CG is a LOAD of work so well done for that as well

[GregCooper]

Thanks guys! Yes this was a loooot of work haha. A friend of mine works for blackmagic and he was kind enough to help me with the colour grade

[fixeighted]

Fantastic piece! All sorts of specific elements to get right and you appear to have nailed them all

[JonasNöll]

Very, very cool, definitely a ton of work. Did you do the entire thing by yourself? Like editing, animation, lighting, comp?
The only thing for my taste has toooo much camera noise, but thats probably subjective

[^Lele^]

Exquisite, as others pointed out, on so many levels.
Style choice, and *masterful* execution thereof; the subtleties in shading and lighting; the beat-perfect edit.
Doffing my hat, sir.

Woah, sweet! Looks awesome! The fluids are Phoenix right?

Cheers!

[GregCooper]

JonasNöll thanks! Yeah the initial idea with this project was to make a complete piece and work on all aspects of it myself to learn each of the processes. So I've done everything from modelling (except for some models in the exterior shot outside the house) through to final composite. I learned a ton in the process but I definitely wouldn't do that again! Colour grading I passed to my friend - film noise was his call, I like it but I hear ya its quite strong we were referencing 60s Kubrick films but also Boogie Nights and a few others, I think he did a great job.
^Lele^ Thanks so much! Nice to hear the subtleties get noticed.
georgi.zhekov Georgi! Yes all fluid sims were done in Phoenix. Big thanks to you btw, pretty sure I hit you up quite a few times with Phoenix questions during development of this and you were always super helpful, I got that cigarette smoke rendering on GPU using the workaround that you showed me. Chaos Group should give you a raise

I wish I would have done this... great !!

[AJ Jefferies]

Ahhhh this is so nice! I love it. Great job!

[Vizioen]

OMG. This is crazy! How long did it take you, start to finish? I wonder what the budget is for these kinds of videos.

[jonahhawk]

Thank you for sharing here! What an inspiring piece. Would love to see some shot breakdown's and hear more about your process.

Only just saw this - amazing work! And the tune is great too.

Interest to hear how you did the hair and cloth sims?
