Maya Tutorial - Mental Ray Displacement Maps (Incomplete)

I had some significant problems when loading the openEXR files into the displacement node. It would not load it correctly no matter what I did or how ever many times I restarted the tutorial. As such I was not able to complete the tutorial in my own scene.

Adaptation B - Animatic First Draft

This is the first draft of the animatic for 'The Sound Collector'. I'm very happy with it but there may still be small tweaks made to it before the presentation.

@Alan Adaptation B - Further Title Tweaking

Version 1

Version 2

I've made further changes to my title design. However, while using a more structured business font I found it hard to include any further sound based designs with it. It always looked too cluttered and took away from the simple graphical punch. I'm happy with version 2 but it may be too simple. If you have any more useful feedback I would be happy to hear it.
