VISUAL EFFECTS & COMPOSITING

Before & After Comparison of Portal: Terminal Velocity
Description: This is simply the before and after comparison of the footage from "Portal:Terminal Velocity" This should give you a pretty good idea of how the shots were broken down, from; camera tracking, camera cuts/ blending, editing, and color correction. Any before footage not being shown with the Final Composite was produced entirely in 3D and not actually filmed.
POrtal: Terminal Velocity
Description: My interpretation of what a real Portal gun would be like if one existed. Based on the video game, Portal. I tried to match the game as close as possible. This was the most challenging project I have ever undertaken, consisting of 3D tracking, seamless camera cuts and 3D camera projection.
