Latest Pre-vis | 11.06.13

This is the latest for the Masters Show 2013 teaser:

There are certain rhythmic issues in the edit and obviously no finished CG elements as of yet. But, this gives one an update on how the edit looks and how some fully tested and colour corrected shots may look in the final teaser piece.

It is the peer review tomorrow.

More on this later..

'Conjure' | Pre-Vis/Preview

I have blocked out the basic shots and then went into more detail with the edit and the detail of the drawings. However, I think it is very necessary in the next stages to properly lay it out in the rule of thirds, odds, and start to add depth to the types of shots I'm using. I want to make the compositions as effective as possible. But, this is the basic 'feel' so far.

We will be shooting for this entire film and then I will be producing a selection of visual effects shots for the Masters Show.

For this semester I am handing in compositing tests in Nuke of the factory setting and other comp tests.

'The Escapist' - Basic Pre-Vis

I have emulated the shots in the edit for Time Based Art students Michal (of LittleEarth Productions) and Jeppe's 3rd year music video 'The Escapist':

I have visualised the story with basic pictures (from Googling) animated, and incorporated Thomas Hogben's particle simulations.

The timing is inaccurate; myself and Thomas meet on Friday to develop it, render it and composite it more; the hand-in for the pre-visualisation is next Wednesday; and the final piece will be produced by late January for festival submissions in February.

I am the director of the animation, and I am collaborating with Tom at the moment, with others getting involved later in the process to finalise the sequence. I am compositing the piece and animating in After Effects.
