Day After Tomorrow-like effects sequence with C4D.
Just thought you guys might be intersted in this little project a bunch of us at PixelCorps threw together since most of the 3D (texturing, animation, pyro/particles, lighting & rendering) was done in Cinema.
It’s a sequence where two tourists are trapped in a cable car while Rio de Janeiro is overcome by a Day After Tomorrow-style storm.

a note on how big the file was would be helpful – or at least turn on the quick start for internet loading. also it was pretty blocky compression – a file half the size with better compression would have probably looked better and been much smaller to download.
the people didn’t add much, maybe even made it a bit more cheesy cause i was more interested in the FX, cutting them out and putting that screen time towards a little more turbulance and less speed of the storm overtaking rio would have made it feel a lot “bigger”.
the front and end credits i’m sure added a bit to the overall file download size that really wasn’t important to me – certainly a lot of people worked on it. simplier credits would have been fine for me. the credits shouldn’t try to overshadow the “show” to me.
i’m sure more might download it if the quicktime file changes were made – i sat for a couple minutes looking at the quicktime Q wondering what was wrong and finally cancelled and did a save as download. (and it is not due to my net connection)
did you post this in the postform and cgtalk c4d forums too? i must have missed it there…

Nice work. My comments would be that it didn’t have overall direction. I would have certainly added camera shake to all the shots. They seemed very computer like especially the shot of the city hall. It was incredibly stiff. The camera fly into the cable car had a very linear change of speed.
I also thought the wall of ‘snow’ should have come before the actors ducked not after. It seemed reversed. When they ducked, I barely could tell why they were ducking. If the order was 1. Wall of storm 2. They turn and duck 3. Storm hits cable car I think it would be more dramatic personally.
nice teamwork though. Especially for the time given.
So was the storm pyrocluster then?
