The Third and The Seventh - Genius work
 

I don't know if this has been posted before, but it's worth posting again. I was led onto this short film via an obscure link from the Blender website.

It is probably the best bit of art direction and cinema photography I have seen in a long while. Watch it with the sound on! Made with Max I believe and VRay.

haha i was wondering when this would turn up. Its been floating around at work and a friend of mine (not in the 3d industry ) even emailed me a link.

Its really good! amazing for a solo effort! there are some 'making of' videos too

Halfloaf, thank you!! Had not seen that!! I like it, but will find the making of that Hammer mentioned. Whole lot of work!!! Nice Job!!

really hard to imagine, that this is a one man job!....absolutely mind blowing.

Yeah, that's absolutely insane. I can't believe that it's all CG. Really, I can't... so I'm going to look for that 'making of' to verify this.

Alrighty... seems like a few elements were real footage, like the birds and the photographer... makes sense. But the gorgeous trees and grass in some of the shots are all CG.

I've watched it about 4 times now and just cannot believe how well done this. I believe it took him a year to complete. That's some dedication if you ask me.

What gets me most is his grasp of lighting and texture. Yeah the models are super, but the lighting is just awesome!

Super talented fellow!!! :bow:

absolutely great work man i wonder how long some of those renders took

sometimes the texture looks unbelievable!...Can they be better then this??

I wonder, how much sweat it will take to render something like this for an expert in Mental Ray!!
