    Digital Domain has just released an 8-minute behind the scenes look at how they created their epic VFX sequences. There has been a lot of chatter about how they didn't quite hit the mark with the young Jeff Bridges, but even though this might be true, I think it's just getting air play from disgruntled artists who didn't get to work on this film.

    Note: Video contains spoilers. Please do not watch if you haven't seen the film.

    Surface Detail

    I came across this hypnotic fractal animation recently and was totally blown away. The surface unflowers and writhes around  for over three minutes, each moment more amazing than the last. The artist is called subBlue.

    Demo Reel Awards

    We have added an awards based ranking system to all Professional Demo Reel submissions. Each Award represents a different level of skill shown by the artist. The Awards are: Excellence, Gold and Silver.

    Our Coaching Staff have reviewed thousands of Demo Reels during their professional careers. They know what works, what not to do, and most importantly, the tips that will give you that all important edge. When you request Professional Feedback for your Demo Reel you become eligible to receive a cgCoach award.

    What is so important about these awards? Put simply, our Industry Partners receive updates from us with Demo Reels from local talent. When it comes time to fill a vacant position, they have access to the names of all Award Winners at their finger tips.

    If you don't receive a Demo Reel Award the first time, you will be provided with clear goals and advice on how to achieve each level. You are eligilbe to keep submitting new versions any time you like.
