References For Test

Myself and Lina are starting up on a test of an environment, so I can try out the type of composite I'd like to achieve this year as she works on her experience in 3D environment modelling.

I have taken inspiration from derelict buildings in Dundee. However, I could not get inside, where are are basing our environment, but I still managed to get some interior shots.

Particular films explore the types of imagery I'd like to create:

'Red' Particularly good style in this exterior shot.

'Station Park'

Orson Welles' 'The Trial' (1962)

These materials should be relevant for the final piece. Even though I do not have a character locked yet, I will look to create a similar setting based on these, and other, influences. Then I want to explore a variety of shots to explore not only compositing in Nuke but the variety within filmmaking further.

DSLR Workshop

On Monday, we had a run-through the functions and techniques for DSLRs with Malcolm Finnie, and then practiced for while with the aperture and shutter speed in town in the late morning. It was good to learn some new tricks to make the most of my DSLR...

Here are some snaps of mine from Monday:

 Fast shutter speed

 Slow shutter speed
