"Bird Ballet" hive minded movements
This is a very cool little piece watching thousands of bird flying in France. Is is spectacular looking seeing them operating as if they were a single organism After a few seconds you forget it is birds you are watching, and it looks more like Iron shavings in a magnetic field, or swarms of bugs.
"Monster Roll" fresh, very fresh!
Here is another example of how small independent productions can look huge. What a fun video, and some truely great VFX. I always love the incorporation of real props into the VFX shots. That soup ladle could have been added in VFX but the practical prop looks so much better, and it is easier too.

Below is the VFX breakdown. Not a huge fan of the "side by side" as VFX before and afters go, but this also shows the power of colour correction too.
