Thank you

Also, I just thought I would add a couple of nicer photos of Sam Bang, BA Games Art Graduate 2016, Search For A Star overall Winner at the “The Developer Awards” rather then the shaky mobile camera photos I had.

The awards were presented by Sumo Digital's Chairman and industry legend Ian Livingstone CBE.

Strong line up for workshops and talks as always (Y)

Also, loving the interior scene. I do feel the lighting would have been better if you followed it closely to your reference movie screenshots @BenjaminJohn ... but that's all down to personal preference, I generally prefer dimmed candle lit settings haha

Hi "Desmond"

Thanks for the feed back, I will tell him, he has only had two or three lessons on lighting to be fare

watch this space. Amazing portfolio by the way and great job on getting a post at Sumo Digital they are an amazing company to work for.

Also very proud of BA/MA Alumni Sol and Mat from Rewind and everyone else their that made the Jaguar I-PACE Concept | All-Electric Jaguar Unveiled in LA -

New showreel

BenjaminJohn · Nov 2016

Thanks @littleclaude for including my interior WIP, appreciate it! Really liking the new showreel too nice mix of all the work done by students

Kid.in.the.Dark I definitely want to improve on the scene so I'll try out the candle lighting as soon as I can, it'd definitely make the room look more atmospheric

and repeating what Neil said, your portfolio is looking great!

Also the sun came out today, so it almost feels like spring is in the air
