INSTRUCTIONS

Module Information Booklet

Below are the instructions for the final project.

Thematic and realistic. Students will demonstrate the technical capability to analyze, composite, and communicate set uniqueness by blending 3D geometry and 2D painting to raw video footage together with special effects. Students need to come up with 3 different locations based on the theme and genre selected. Students must also showcase the breakdowns of how this project is undertaken. * Note that your matte should seamlessly blend and showcase a believable set.

Submission:

1. Compiled technical doc .pdf (*mood board, style guide, storyboard, technical processes as posted in their e-portfolio).
2. Final output will include a 15 – 30 sec video (*.mp4, h2.64, 16:9 - 1440 X 1080, 25 fps, ACC, 48kHz, uploaded to youtube channel).

We were given the freedom of just doing 1 animation or can do more. I had to stick with just 1 because there was not much time anymore. Below is the first attempt I did.

After the feedback, I had to adjust the set extension and adjust the animations. Below is the final result.

FEEDBACK

Week 14

1. The fogs in the surroundings made the set extension looks washed out, don't have the fogs start from the bottom, have it on the middle
2. Make the zoom-in effect, only a little bit of zoom-in.

REFLECTION

I had a lot of fun animating the set extension and thus I quite enjoyed the process, I had to learn several effects from Youtube. I am glad it turned out to be what I expected, however, I do wish it could be even better.
