Narrative Video


The Gift from BLR_VFX on Vimeo.
Directed by Carl E. Rinsch, ‘The Gift’ Belongs to the "pararell Lines" Phillips Cinema campaning. Placed in Russia, The Gift is a Sci-Fi short with a savage Chase sequence on it. We made more than 20 full CGI shots for the short. Check out the animated pictures to see how it has been done. We also made the vechicles and some characters desings. We enjoyed creating such an unusual atmosphere and sense. Not the regular Sci-fi film we are used to see...

After viewing this video, write a two paragraph response on the break down of the narrative and
discuss key elements and features that you found throughout the piece. Use references and examples when necessary in your responses.

After Effects Tutorial: F1 Engine

Tutorial F1 Engine from Scott McCarthy on Vimeo.

If you guys are noticing a bit of a playback issue with the video online, I recommend downloading the video from vimeo and playing back in quicktime on your computer. Just follow the video link to my main page and then under the video screen there should be a button that says download. This will take sometime to do, so I suggest just letting it download over night and then viewing it the next morning.
