"Planet Horror"

This 2 hour project in 3D Studio Max and AfterEffects was the result of a false-start project Greg gave me. While I'm a little bummed it didn't happen, I'm psyched that it gave me a kick in the butt to put in some practice time with these programs.

Since I wasn't doing it for a client, I went ahead and threw on some horror style twitch effects, just because I love them so :P



In Malcom Gladwell's book Outliers he estimates that for anyone to become a master of a particular field it takes 10,000 hours. That breaks down to roughly 3 hours a day for 10 years.

My goal is to become a master in the field of video effects and 3d animation--and the implementation of said media in a way that is seamlessly integrated with their parent projects and interactive. To put that in more concrete terms, it goes like this: 3D STUDIO MAX > AFTEREFFECTS > FLASH

2 hours down, 9,998 to go :)
