Some of you know that im making short films from time to time, i edited my showreel today to make it a bit shorter, some footage from my projects shot in 2012:

aerial shots are camera projections made in 3d from pics

Its you?

Its hard to answer without sounding confusing, i dont know how much do you know about cameras, shutter speed is responsible for amount of blur during movement, when filming im using 24fps and shutter 60, sometimes 50 when i have no choice, in usa it would be 60 because of lights frequency, here in europe its 50 to get rid of pulsation of lights.
when you film in 24 then make sure you also export with the same fps cause if you dont then sofware will add its own blur between frames which looks very bad.
If you use 60fps for slow motion then dont go for lower shutter speed than 120, it will look bad, im usin 250 most of the time.

From the looks of the 3d aerial shots, I'd say it's very professional indeed. You used a 3d software suite for that or just after effects/any-NLE-you-use?

I made them in blender software

I made them in blender software

that road at 0:18 or that forest were made in Blender?

NICE! BTW, are the majority of the shots you did on the entire showreel IS in Blender as well? I'm curious since I can't believe that you can do that on Blender. (Actually I do, but using Blender entirely for a movie is a great undertaking considering the steep learning curve and rich feature set)

Am I right that teh building is a picture projected on 3D models to emphasize the building or another method?

Yes, its Auschwitz Natzi concentration camp, its from photo.
Rio is in blender, manchester aerial shot is also blender.

bWWd  Great work ...I actually took some online film class once because they were free and I did enjoy it. Some of the best parts of video gaming are the cinematic stories I know some people who just skip through and go right to the playing without ever watching the story around it. I am a big star wars fan and I never realized how much editing can make or break a film until I read about Marcia Lucas contribution to star wars. She understood editing and George Lucas did not.
