  • This is the story of working on the CGI and VFX for his feature film "I Think I'm Sick"... this is that story.
    All of the 3d was done in Blender, the compositing and VFX was done in Nuke Foundry, the color and post processing was done in Davinci.
    Hope you love the episode.
    Thank you Danny for the memories.

    Bro, these situations are like growing on steroids... all skills gained in compressed time frame! So, advice to newbies: "Is blender hard? How much does it take to learn it?" - just get some basic skills in Blender and then jump into "scary" project, then realize your true worth as an artist, fail and rise again - and here is your growth! Awesome effort and dedication, man! I wish you more challenging project in future!

    Props!! Its great to see that young people like you (19) try new things and discover themselves spiritually and mentally. (im 17 myself)
    since you've said that you would read all comments in a previous video, imma shoot my shot here (since i usually don't write comments).
    so i'm from germany and i have heard about that "zettelkasten" method where you write things on something that's actually called
    "kartei karte" in german.
    so i started to use that method and it makes total sense scientifically and it helps a lot REALLY!
    but i have 1 problem with the method you showed, its the "connection" part and every time i write something to remember i struggle to come up with a connection.
    if you have nothing against it, could you show some of your "zettelkasten" because this will be the easiest way to understand how exactly to do them (or explain it again in here). i'm sure it will help A LOT of people who want to implement that to their lives.
    PS: much respect man you are way further that people in their 30s!!

    The effort you put in this project is so great I don't know if anyone can comprehend. That 3rd shot is hell on earth for VFX artists. I don't know why Danny did not called a VFX supervisor during the shooting. Just some tracking markers or shooting in log/raw could have benefited you a lot better. You did great and way beyond what a normal VFX is willing to do. That 3rd shot will give me nightmares ahaha

You see, I’m creating a schedule where I do homeschool 7 days a week and 2 days worth of working everyday for a year to graduate as fast as possible. And this will take the usage of memory techniques such as the memory palace, spaced repetition, pomodoro method, and likely more alongside yours now, thanks for the technique

    Totally impressive !
    I will watch more of your learning methods and will try to apply it. But just letting you know VFX is super tough and lots of rinse and repeat. I suggest you learn to trade the stock market / trading options. Will want to see your skill tested in there because there is emotions and patience at play and I am sure you will make a lot of money ! if you overcome it :)
