Hopefully this day wont ever come!

Project made for CgSociety’s Allan Mckay Holywood VFX workshop. For the Backplate photo i used a digital panorama i had taken before, check it out here.

It’s meant to be an exercise, not a 100% finished and revised work. There are a few changes i could make and revise, but i dont have time right now.  The time involved was approximately two weeks

Enjoy Lisbon get bombed to hell (it’s actually Almada, but it sounds cooler hehe)

Hey! I’ve recently finish some cool projects for a VFX Workshop taught by Allan Mckay.

One of the most important steps in building up a cool shot is undoubtedly creating a first nice concept.

Here i will show you guys an example of such a concept and a nice way to show it to cliemts /supervisors or for personal reference, either with a single image or a very rough animated version / animatic.

It’s just a photoshop composition of Los Angeles after an earthquake or such. Check it out, as well the step-by-step image. In the end there’s a brush video tutorial and also a downloadable photoshop brush for anyone who wants it.

Enjoy!

Software Used: 3dsmax; FumeFx; AfterBurn; Photoshop…

What a nice blog!

Hi all,

So…this is the first post in the blog section. I’ll be posting WIP’s and all sort of experiments, info’s, etc about the types of work featured around the photoblog. From CGI and 3D, photographic subjects, retouching tips, or simply just chat about something, important or not…that’s what blogs are for anyway. You’re free to read them or throw them away (PLEASE DON’T!!)

So, i hope you enjoy my work, read some of the bulls*** i’m preaching about, comment as you like, share some info,  and while you’re at it, contact me for your future projects in CGI/3D, professional photo retouching, Web Development and SEO and design for print, broadcast and new media.

In the shade, we all go through changes… My wife Catarina was testing a new camera and took some photos while i was working. I then picked this one and played a bit with it in Photoshop, to get this undead look. I’ve finally added the effect of some venetian blinds to enhance the shady look.
