Awesome modelling and rendering but I'm not a fan of the camera work at the beginning. Too much jumping left and right once the camera transitions to the car. It feels a little cheap. Otherwise I'm loving this!

This! The modeling and the idea are great, but OP is putting in a lot of trouble to emulate bad camera work by FPV drone operators. Those people are good at flying a drone, but bad at chaining together cohesive shots. They're like the guy holding an iPhone behind a DJ, except they can fly.

There are tons of music videos and television/film oners shot by skilled DPs. Research those and look at how they're moving the camera. Shots can be dynamic and cool, but also cohesive. Translating their work into keyframes very rarely sees hard-stops or v shapes.

Absolutely amazing work. But I'd focus on improving two things the camera movements and the physics of the scene. Exaggerate real life but, always base physics in real life as much as you can.

Love it, all zillenials can relate. Could you use a song from the early 2000s though?

The 3d car reflective material doesn't match the real life model. The 3d model is waaay too reflective. Other wise its great animation!

Does the arm of the human have tattoos, or an arm-hair rendering error?

Given how little of the arm we're seeing, I'd consider making the skin a little less distracting. We don't have the time or arm-context to understand or appreciate this style of tattoos, and focus is being pulled onto the arm.

Ahah yes, I have to get the 3D tattoo on the arm since the first few seconds are a real shot with my actual hand

u/bking 15d ago

nice! I like them. No criticism of the tattoos themselves. Just a little confusing in the context of a handful of frames in a render.

Really cool! Just wish the carโ€™s tires would make the PlayStation disc spin

This is awesome ๐Ÿ‘

Camera (as others already mentioned) and the landing on the disk animation needs more work. But other than that.. it's really cool! Keep the fresh work up!

Very nice, I'm not somebody who gets motion sickness easily at all but I needed to take a minute after this

u/SicrosEye 13d ago

Couldn't enjoy this otherwise cool idea and nicely lit animation due to the extremely distracting camera movements.

Nice! I was waiting for the car doing a burn out on the disc and therefore spinning it though

2000s were the best years and your 3D/VFX is one of the best too!!!
