Lighting Tests 02







For my next set of lighting tests, I wanted to light a human as our characters lighting is very important. I wanted to experiment with darker and moodier lighting because I am accustomed to making brightly lit scenes already and our film will have night scenes so I want to be able to get darker lighting while still having facial expressions read. I also played with yellow and purple lighting to go with our color motif in the film.

Progress Report Unit 06

Lighting is going well this week! I'm working on my next batch of shots. It's fun because they all have different challenges. But I think it's off to a good start! Right now what I am spending most of my time on is sq200s120 and sq400s060. In 120, we are experimenting with adding a glow behind the queen chess piece that way we did in the green chess world. We really liked the effect that had so we want to try making something like that work for emphasis in the yellow chess world too. Also in s060, we have a pillar that is coming down and falling on David, so we really want a shadow to fall over his face to clue in the audience about like what is to come. It's almost like a foreshadowing thing. This one is definitely a bit of a challenge for me because I am animating and block come in front of a light to 'cast the shadow' but I also need to be matching it up to the pillar that is shown falling in the next shot. I actually haven't animated something in ov...

Progress Report Unit 04

I was able to take and apply the notes I got in class to make the lighting much more ambient because there is no 'sun' or major light source in the chess world. I especially spent some time on the 'death' world scenes, with the green. I changed the color of the black king piece to a really dark red and shine green lights on it so that it would still appear like a black piece. Before, the colors made it seem like it didn't belong in the world. Changing it to a dark green made it blend in the environment too much and adding more light took too much of the black away and it looked like a green piece despite it being an extremely dark color texture wise. I think I got it working better than it was before Again, in case blogger has troubles displaying my work, here is a link to syncsketch https://syncsketch.com/pro/#/project/94008/reviews/601985

Final Report Unit 10

Well, this is it, the last blog post I will make about the creation of this film. It's certainly been a journey. I will include a syncsketch link at the bottom of this post to show the work I did this last week, but I really wanted my final post to be a bit more reflective of the overall product and experience rather than the final work I put in.  Looking back on everything, I think that the making of this film was full of so many twists and turns. I've learned a lot every step of the way though and I am so very proud of our team and what we have accomplished. I believe that there are things we could've done better, however every artist would continue to refine their work forever if they were allowed to do so, so I believe that what we've accomplished in the time we had is very good too. In this past year, we've endured a lot of things that maybe aren't always visible on the surface. We combined with another team and took on a lot of new members ver...
