Slide Show Opening Sequence

video

Here's what the client said after the project was completed: "It was a pleasure working with Reetesh. His work exceeded my expectations. I had an idea and he built on that idea to make a project that will work perfectly for my needs. I will definitely be using him again to do some more work!" Jim

The buildings were done in Adobe Illustrator as vector shapes then imported in Maya to create the cityscape at night. I used Maya's dynamics for the water spray, fire and smoke effects. All the elements were done on separate layers to be later composited using After Effects.

Animated Music Video

video

This entry for the Nation Beat music video competition was done quite hastily and completed within a 5 day period. You'll notice that the 3D models are highly simplified, some of the lip movements are out of "sync" and the animation is unrefined. However in its integrity, this piece works quite well. 3D character animation, when handled by one person is tedious and at times one has to compromise on some aspects of modeling, rigging and texture mapping to meet tight deadlines and budgets.
