ok, completely finished filming, but this is a shot I'm trying to do for my shake class, the T. rex grabs this guys backpack, this is just a test, for lighting and everything, so the guy behind the rex will be removed in the final, just tell me what you think (I've been having a hard time with the lighting), to the left is a large window, with a foggy day outside, which is producing the light, but I'm not sure how to simulate that or if I did it right. thanks in advance.

also, I'll post an avi of the animation when I'm done matching the movement for critique

Maybe add a filter above the t.rex later to get that graininess the rest of the photage has?

In that last image the T.Rex looks a bit higher quality then the rest.

And he also looks small.

Maybe it's only a teen t-rex.

yep, the T. rex is small, about half the size of a full-grown rex, his head itself is about 3-3.5 feet long, he's a total length of about 26 feet, I wanted to use an impressive full-sized animal, but he just wouldn't fit in the hall like that. anyway, I did put some grain, but I'm not seeing it now either, so I'll have to work on that, and in the final I'm going to be using fields, so he'll blend in better. my only problem here is that I really like the look of the raytraced shadows, but motion blur doesn't like it, so I don't know what I'm going to do. thanks again for all of your replies

Aww, I caught a glimpse of the sleeping T-rex with the teddy while at a school computer and thought it was absolutely adorable. I was going to show my sister when I got home but it seems it's gone now x_x Aw well, awesome job, though!

-Edit-
O_O Either my screen wouldn't load the picture last time and it was there all along, or I got a second chance to see it ^_^ Yay! It's so <i>cute</i>. *_*

thanks for all your comments! the final movie will be about 3-4 minutes long, so I'm not sure where I'd be able to put that. the links are broken because my web page was wiped, and I haven't uploaded those files yet. and the bear... well, yes, the bear... I might keep him in there as an easter egg for the sharp-eyed viewer (...if I have viewers...). I've also been working on the animation that matches him to the guy's backpack, I think I've pretty much got it down, but I'm at work right now (maya tutor at the local city college) and I don't have the footage as reference. so when I'm able I'll upload that. and I'm also busily removing that one guy in the background, it's quite difficult. anyway, thanks again

Great start... nice to see live footage.... One thing i notice is the the rexes head is sideways the whole time..... would his head not be upright a bit longer in frame before he turns sidways to bit the pack? Other than that its great=)
