It's been a long and quiet four months on the blog frontier.. Fact is that I've been working on CG related stuff during the past spring/summer time more than I ever have. Looming deadlines everywhere and long working shifts can really take its toll. That's why I haven't always had the need to sum up my thoughts in literal form.
So what I've been up to for all this time?
For a start, I did my two and a half month internship in a Helsinki based VFX house called Talvi Digital. They do advertisements, commercials for mobile games and post production for films, all kinds of cool stuff.
I had the honor to participate on many interesting projects working as a 3D modeler.
Right now I'm continuing as a freelancer for the company on some undisclosed projects.
If that was not enough, I was also involved in a student short film project from the end of April till the end of June. Had the responsibility to create up to 20 effect shots all by myself from scratch. The deadline for such a large post production task was extremely tight but somehow we pulled it off. All the work I did was done with Blender 3D: tracking, creating the actual set extensions, compositing etc. I will post an effects breakdown reel once I get it done.
Here's my VFX breakdown of some of the best shots from the short film:
Some more making of material (in Finnish only):
I did a complete overhaul to my online portfolio and the focus is now purely on 3D art/modeling.

Another cool little thing worth mentioning is that I bought a book called The Art and Science of Digital Compositing. It's a great read recommended by many and the book has been on my wish list for a long time. There's lots of valuable knowledge to be gained + some example frames from cool blockbuster films and tv-shows including Return of the King, Revenge of the Sith, Sin City, King Kong and Lost.
Since I've been so busy I've managed to read only half of the book. Hope to finish it sometime soon.
I guess that's about it this time; can't wait to share all the new exciting stuff in the not-so-distant future.
