Hi I LOVED your Reel the lighting and textures with the forks and glasses was so COOL how did you get the water in the glasses to look so reel. Im realy Into 3D animation and would love to be at your level some day. if theres any advice you could give me I would realy apriciate it thanks.

Character Animator

Me and the Graph Editor have a understanding

Nice:)

You're the guy that did the "guess this is goodbye" thing, ha!

Really nice stuff Matt:)

Nice variety of 3d and compositing skills. I especially liked the character animation on the masked gun-totting kid. You did good on bounce and taking the physics of his movements well, and that's not something that I see everyday in 3d stuff. The death shot in the face is especially cool! That followthru on the landing is gnarly.

I really REALLY liked your fork animation. The reflections and hazyness combined with the lights and live action aspect, they're right on the money. It really REALLY shows your knowledge of 3d. I like this one the best:)

I really liked the playfulness of the scorpion trying to grab it's shadow. That's damn cute:)

What I don't like as much (please don't take it personally because most of everything you did is about 1000 percent better than if I tried)

There's just about your scenes with this blue guy that are not as strong in the animation and acting department and I can see you're really paying attention to detail. I think what bothers me most about him is that his animation is almost too perfect. There isn't a whole lot of exaggeration or anticipation for this guy and the physics of his acting....there's just something that I don't buy in it. You're definitely on the right track with the acting from the tip toeing to the wobbly knees....but again, there's something either too perfect or not exaggerated enough from an animation perspective.

You should stay sharp on all things because everything else is really REALLY strong. I can't tell you HOW to do it. All I can tell you is that there is something that bothers me about the blue guy and it's not how he looks....it's how he moves in relation to his acting.

Keep up the great work Matt:)
I'm sure that by the time I learn 3d at all, you'll probably be rendering photo-realistic masterpieces answering the rumor that 3D will wipe out the need for live actors once and for all.
