the architecture that folds into place is amazing! not to mention everything else.

Bang! :d

dude your work is really impressive ..How long you been working with 3d?

Beautiful reel! You're lighting is impeccable and the animation is top notch! Congrats.

Your pages are going nuts right now! Congrats on the beautiful work. I too use 3DS Max quite a lot, but my renders aren't quite like yours.

Nice work! Love the building sequences...is that 3ds w/plugin? Seems like I've seen that technique before on another reel

Man. That new animal collective is an amazing album, what a great choice. Some very nice work on your reel Gabe, keep it up.

Whoooowww!!!...VERY2 GREAT PIECE OF WORK MAAANNN!!!!!!

Very nice CG !!
Wow

good job man. i guess you burn a lot of time for this beautiful craft :)

great!! i like the style!

Awesome modeling and animation job on the flower. Most of the work looks very polished and definitely professional.

I feel the editing could have been a bit tighter on this. You often transition from an action shot to a still shot that creeps into a pan, and it leaves me feeling like I missed a step and fell flat on my face. I love Animal Collective, but the song may be too annoying for a demo reel, IMO. Also, 3:28 is a bit long, and I think you could cut some of the footage down and make a better shorter reel.

Great work!

Amazing. It's good enough for 3:28 IMHO.

He's right, it is a bit bloated, and I'm not the best editor. The reel was slapped together in one night so I could show it to a potential client. I ought to rework it.

What a beautiful work! So delicate and strong at the same time...You're brilliant! Awesome! And the video of Grizzel bear's leave me with no words... What an excellent artist you're!

This is the best reel I'v seen on vimeo. sound goes perfectly with it and is all perfectly timed - 00.33s awesome.

I just posted on your Grizzly Bear video thread. Should have looked here first to get the answer to my software question. I work in Maya and am glad they finally released Vray for Maya. Been looking forward to using it for quite some time.

I agree...a shorter reel would be a good idea. 2 min is generally the norm, but I think you can get away with it being around 2:30 or so. I like the music with it personally. I don't find it annoying. It's not typical to every other reel out there. I also like the editing. Fast paced and keeps me interested. There were some cuts that didn't work for me, but overall it looks great. Nice job!

Amazing thank for sharing this. The music kind of reminds me of XTC, but I guess it's not them. Who did do the music? That was one of the coolest music videos I've ever seen period. Excellent work thanks!

This and the Grizzly Bear video are incredible. Very well done.

I likes it.

Incredible work, unbelievable

Phenomenal work, Gabe. Inspiring. Keep it up.

speechless.

I can't believe you still work with that company that is nothing more than a black hole of retards. You really need to get out on your own and away from them. You are by far way too talented for people to be riding on your hard work. You know the two morons I'm talking about.

Ok, Im late for work now! Got mesmerized by all the shiny colors and flashy CG goodness! Your work is phenomenal!

Keep up the great work! Look forward to seeing more clips that you've directed. You should be able to get a commission to direct a clip from some of the more adventurous record labels.

ur work is truly fantastic, great style!

Hi, first of all - Amazing Reel!

Judging by your reel you do a lot of CG Architectural Viz work, but "Two Weeks" seems creatively so different. I have one question?

Which work do you find more interesting personally, CG Viz work or Animation (Two Weeks - Grizzly Bear, type of work)?

Truly inspiring stuff!

lovely man, technique with poetry...

I created an account just to compliment you on your videos. Very enjoyable and inspiring creativity.

sick!!! been watching it all over, great work!

dude..... you're awesome. Thanks for the inspiration!

I like the music you use in this video... Could someone please tell me the name of the song or the artist? Thanks :)

I also finally confirmed my account (that I apparently signed up for long ago) just to comment on your Grizzly Bear vid earlier today. Just getting around to watch this other video and I'm in awe--maybe much more so than most of the other people on here who seem to be in the "CG biz". So, if you imagine me watching it with mouth-gaping little-kid awe, that would be pretty accurate. I am completely mystified as to the process that goes into all your work, but I'm heading back to school for design next year, so maybe I'll get to learn a little about this on the way!

I saw above that you started "playing" when you were 15, so would you say you're mostly self-taught? And out of curiosity what and where did you study? (I'm still sort of searching for a design program that sounds right for me.)

Again...I can't wait to see more of your work (if you keep posting to vimeo)!

I feel like a noob

Dig the work. if you ever want to use any of our music, contact us..

magnificent!

woww! great stuff: i love your work.

Very nice dude!

impressively realistic
