Hi Guyz,
This is a CG Tantra Entry for Vfx war Challenge.
One day I come to know about a vfx challenge on the very day I checked that on the website and after reading all the terms I decided to take part in it I shared this to my friends and right there we formed a team name "Team Fx" There were four people in it. we started working without caring about time limitation Because we were taking double classes of different software's.
We did lot of mistakes during this challenge, some rectified and some not because lack of time. But the beauty part of this challenge is that I came to know my flaws. and got comments from the senior people of the industry which matters me a lot. Certainly I will rectify my errors and improve myself in future.
During this project I enjoyed a lot. I will certainly keep on participating in such kind of challenging project because I love to do it.
Judges and Mentor Comments:
Dev Mannemela:
Very nice. I liked the look of the sails on the hero ship. Because of the constant haziness on the rest of the fleet, it's hard to get a sense of depth. I guess you didn't go with the medieval Mumbai idea.. The skyline in the background looks like scyscrapers.. As noted in other shots, the ships seems static. Why is that ?
Sameer:
nice effort..composite issues,ship integration cud be better.some splashes cud have also helped integrate the scene better.
