References For CG Factory/Station Interior





Lina is working on modelling this. I have updated with this before. I hope to get a working version to do tests with in the coming weeks. 

In the story, Tyler opens a living room door to this large station. It serves as a daunting visual displaying the multiple routes that he can choose to go...

Quick Alleyway Comp Test

This is a sketchy concept for the alleyway scene using a location scout reference shot:


It is based on the references in the previous post.

I look forward to the having the final plates to play with and I will spend days and weeks on such a shot, not just an hour or something... ;)

The Going Live Packshot

This is the packshot I helped shoot and composited as part of the course team project with Guinness and The Mill:

Progress as of April 25

The shot lists, prop lists, costume lists, costings lists and to-do lists are underway. The storyboard is being formatted in preparation for taking on set. Meetings, road trips, casting calls and rehearsals are all planned in preparation for the shoot which begins in less than two weeks time.

I have plates for 'GAME' which I have to clean-up, generally treat in Nuke X and composite flaky textures on to. I am going to begin this hopefully as of next week.


I look greatly forward to the final shoot for 'Conjure', but as you can hear, there are many things to prepare for it. new things keep coming to my head. But, it should be so fun.

Everything seems to be running on time, and working with the Jam Collective allows for many people available for contacting, which makes everything I have to do easier.

The plan in regards to more CG is to work with Lina's work in progress of the factory/train station. I want to try test textures, tests passes and composite some test live action elements/pictures within Nuke.

More actual work soon. Sorry, Going Live has taken priority lately...

Alleyway References

During our visit to Jellyfish in London, I was enlightened with an example from one of their projects which is practically the same effect I want to create as part of this project.


They have composited several plates together using 2.5D to create this scene and added this foggy atmosphere within it.


A previous example for this scene I have taken from Martin Scorsese's Hugo. Again, the same effect has been created here and the film noir feeling is rife.

Similar to this test I did last semester:


This is the location we will film in:


This is one of my main shots I will focus on for the final outcome.
