cam, the pudding has been here for ages... it's turning green and starts smelling bad. Maybe you should do somthing about it.
welcome to simplycg. i whish i could see your reel. but i don't have quicktime on that pc... i will try checking it asap. i am myself starting to do FXs.
btw are you a max or a maya user? (or anythingelse) btw to get ideas for you reel, here is a tip on how i get ideas:
have a cool black friend that tells you shit ideas, when he will tell them to you, you will think of somthing realy cool that doesn't follow his ideas at all (that's how i get most of my ideas... with my friend lee, he is half american half german)
just sit there and listen to classical or really old music (i am not kidding and it works)
take magic mushrooms
i was joking on the last one
