Of course, as the only VFX student in a class of graphic designers and advertising majors, my posters were probably the least serious and the most illustrative. So I was actually quite shocked that the class and the teacher liked them, so I'm pretty proud of them now. There were quite the horrible critiques in the beginning and I really doubted if I could get through that class, but it all worked out in the end.
In VFX related work, I took matte painting one in which I learned a some new photoshop tricks and I think helped me get a little better rounded as a compositor. I think I'll take matte painting two next semester in order to learn Vue. Anyway, just in time for Christmas, my frosty, cold final painting in action:
A little bit of personal work I did was a fan video for the band OK Go. Its a similar feeling to my type posters which seem to be becoming a favorite style for me. I'm striving to get more personal work done in the coming year, but I really need to snap out of my current lazy streak. I've lots of ideas for fun videos, but I keep telling myself: "No, you should stay focused on your thesis." But real life isn't like that, I'm learning that rarely do you ever get to focus on one thing at a time. I just need to stuck it up, work more, and sleep less.
