FITC 2005

-> "Scale Wipe" was used in Finn movie to do pixel stretch effect

-> Methodology Tip > Track first then edit

-> Velvet.TV fave

Filmed with a huge macro lens to get the large wind up toys having sex
Used slow shutter speeds

-> Bas Vectuer was made for WWFT

-> He does all of his dynamics in Maya

To be a broadcaster designer these days you have to know a 3d package
Recommends Cinema 4d on Mac and Maya and 3ds on PC

-> Maya tips

He uses spring constraints a lot to control snapping and explosions in Maya
Uses hidden spheres to knock stuff out of place and use for wrapping objects around them as well
Brings type in from Illustrator and extrudes it and then uses huge spheres to blow it out of place

-> He says he is digging Processing and what it can do with video

"Shit like Levitated.net 'completely hurt me'". LOL
Come places worked include Engine / Tronic / Digital Vision / etc.

-> He uses a vibrating blur effect instead of straight blur out on text (nice effect)

-> He worked for Imaginary Forces and did Zorro whip for promo and movie intro

Used Maya hair dynamics to make whips
Used as a wire deformer to deform and affect the type
To blast apart the text he made separate layers with each letter broken apart into shards that have locators attached to main type and then the type goes away and the shards fade in

-> Watch for Zorro stuff when movie comes out
