This is a recent, Rapid turn around, 3D cinematic I created for Mixamo Inc (www.mixamo.com), a Motion Capture Studio based in San Francisco, and Autodesk (http://usa.autodesk.com). The workflow includes use of the Autodesk animation Store, which is built into 3DS Max 2013, and motion builder. Mixamo needed a demo of the workflow on how an independent film could use their store, and so they approached me to create the cinematic. I enjoyed every moment of it and truly treasure the partnership and working relationship I have developed with their Motion Capture team, with Nateon Ajelo as the Motion capture Director.
Below is a Video interview of the process I went through to create the Cinematic.
Here is the Final Render. For rendering I used the Nitrous, the Realtime Renderer built into 3DS Max, and an invaluable tool called Power Preview ~ incredibly the renders took 30 seconds per frame.

This animation equation makes everything seem so easy and yet probably not . I have to thank you for reaching this far in this motion picture development.
Thanks JBM, I appreciate the kind words. Gakyali Mabaga 🙂
Thanks again for all the hard work on this one man…You really killed it.
Just a preview of more awesomeness to come!
