    Did you do the live action composite post render inside Softimage or did you import the live action & render it within the scene?



    Our deadline was not moveable anymore, so we did it the "dirty way" and rendered the live action inside the scene.. Had some advantages and some disadvantages, but at least everything got finished..

    Am I the only one who finds a sky diver making a green peace comercial a little ironic? I know your all a bunch of hippies, but you jump out of emission spewing airplanes that have little benifit to society other then personal gratification.



    Good point taken. That's the reason why I convert to basejumping very soon :P

    All CG because we had a very small budget and couldn't afford to do everything in real.. and it wouldn't be possible to get the shots in those conditions..

  11. We started out with Maya, but then quickly converted to Softimage XSI due to our internal workflow.

    We started producing it at the end of November 06 and finished it end of May 07. We did the live action takes in February and then integrated the captures into the scene..

    This is a speculative spot, so it's produced without any support from greenpeace (except the yellow jackets ;))

    Thanks for your feedback

  19. Hey,
    Had the same thing happen to my Neptune last year.. It just restarted when I was in freefall at 9000ft.. Still had my Protrack and my Timeout in my helmet, so it wasn't a big deal. If all 3 fail, I still have my eyes ;)

  22. There is so much more exciting stuff than skydiving, that it never becomes "routine" to me. It has always been a special hobby and it will always be. No matter if you do a solo or a 12way headdown jump, you can always learn something and improve your skills. It may get boring, if you have no goals in the sport and no people to jump with.. But that is with every other sport the same.. It always depends on your attitude and your ambition to make things happen.

    I think every skydiver has to set his priorities, for some its living for the sport and dedicate every minute to it, for others there are other things more important in life (like having a a good job first and then having the money for skydiving ;) )

    You sure get used to it and, but if you lose your sensation for skydiving you should better quit, IMHO.

  24. Yes they have a tripod screw on the bottom. At least the CA6 has one, because I had one in my hand yesterday. The CA6 is splash-proof, too.

    And for the angle design.. Isn't it better to have that angle for doing 4way video and tandems? I saw many cameras mounted that way..
