Special Effects as an interest

[Saragrl]

Does any one else like computer special effects? This seems to be odd interest for people in my life. I don't know why, but ever since I seen films like Armageddon is have wanted to be able to do things like that. I always been a sucker for eye candy, in effects and in video games.

I was wondering if anyone else tries this stuff, or is really interested in it.

Special effects yes, computer related, not so much. I tend to be more interested in physical props and special effects.

I've given 3d modelling a go, which I think is a good start if you want to get into effects and such, but it just isn't for me. On the other hand painting models and to some extent making props seems way more up my alley.

Been working on a shot where the Normandy from mass effect rises out of a nebula and goes to warp. Here is a draft look of the warp effect I am working on.
