i’m truly inspired by this work, love the camera blur and movement!
great work!:+1:

hehe endearing character, amazing render. Made me smile :slight_smile:

I think it’s tusks/fangs need to be rotated out a bit so that if it looks down they go under it’s arms, along it’s sides instead of impaling itself.

This is really cool…love the design. The camera and blur effects are great, nice job.

the little horned dude is awesome!

Nice work! After Effects is kind of hard to navigate in the program.

LOad - Thanks very much!

matenzo - Cool! I’m glad you like him :slight_smile:

pixolClay - Thanks a million dude!

Heist - Thanks man, its quite tricky at the beginning.

Thanks everyone, you are all awesome!

The final step was to record some sound, I used my Iphone to record the sounds of an old SLR camera that I have zooming in and out of focus as well as some shuffling feet sounds.

Thats about it, I hope this has been a little useful for people in their own projects

All the best

Fantastic!
It is also very cool that you used your iPhone to get a camera out.

cool. I like the subtle animation. I think it could use a blink or two though.

nice focal blur surprised it was just the normal AE zblur I just can not seem to get that one too look good I always use Lenscare

Nice!!! A demoreel made this way could be very memorable. Thanks for sharing your workflow.

Mikademius - Thanks very much, The Iphone camera is actually quite good, better than my old compact camera anyway :slight_smile:

poda - Thanks man, I totally agree, some blinking would really add to it.

ROlguin - Cheers dude, I have always wanted to try lenscare, the AFX blur is not great at all.

stoyan3d
- Thanks a lot. ohh there’s an idea, I might just do that, its a great way to show off models instead of a regular turntable.

Thanks everyone, you all rock!
