Password Protection
I was advised by an advisor at Tribeca Flashpoint Academy to take everything down in Vimeo except for my reel because my visitors would not be able to distinguish between my reel and other projects.

The Suburbs – 3D Camera Tracking in Nuke (WIP)
These are a couple of scenes using 3D Camera Tracking in Nuke. I hope to find the time to put in something cooler than basic 3D geometry, but for now I have that as a placeholder.
Mountain Scene – Greenscreen Compositing in Nuke
This is a greenscreen composite I did in Nuke. The greenscreen was remove with rotoscoping and primatte and then I added the background, atmosphere, lens flare, color correction, light wrap, etc… The breakdown of this scene will be on my reel in a few weeks. Before: After:

Hot Air Balloon had its world premiere at the Zaki Gordon Film Festival in Sedona, Arizona in May 2012. I was going to send this out to a bunch of additional animation festivals, but it’s getting to be time to put my favorite work up on the Internet and my website because I am graduating…

3D Digital Lighting vs. Practical FIlm Set Lighting: A Comparison
(This was a paper I wrote for one of my classes. I actually love to light sets, but I felt that to make this paper strong, I had to chose a strong thesis statement. Send a message @leslielello at Twitter if you care to discuss…) :-) Sixty years ago, when black and white movies…
A new video! I <3 Simulation!
I know it’s been a while since I have posted… My school keeps me busy so I can’t always get to my blog, but I have a new video, with more on the way. One of the classes I am taking is a simulation/fluids/particle effects class and I really, really love it. Untitled from Leslie…
