Take a look at this CG remake of Marcio Kogan’s Gama Issa House done by Wizarc Studio. They have done a great job showcasing this house and outputted a remarkably clean Maxwell Render animation! I also took some screen captures and compared them with real photos of the house as taken by photographer Arnaldo Pappalardo. It is clear that they used those photos as key points during the animation and the matching is really good.

From time to time I post an amazing video coupled with great sound too. I couldn’t resist posting this tribute to the French movie “Les Chevaliers du Ciel” made by Bart Dragtsma. Probably the best fighter jets photography I’ve seen, amazingly edited and enhanced by the soundtrack… Sky Dancing!

Mixing (Vocal) Elements A Capella a la Mike Tompkins

Taking a break here from the main theme, and yet it is related. I been doing some exercises lately, rendering out EXR’s with full channel info, comping them all in PS. Nothing came out even remotely cool as the super channel mixing in post – Vocal Style – made by the ‘crazy’ talented Mike Tompkins! This dude records each layer of sound separately using his voice alone and comp’s it all to form some of the greatest covers I heard so far. Enjoy!
