for today’s class were given three tasks to do with rigging and the overall 3D pipeline and how to work with a master file. The other two had to do with rigging and how to make a rig, within my notes I have gone over the importance of rigging but never how toContinue reading rigging / pre production – privs development
previs and assets development For today’s class we were learning about the camera and how to manipulate it within the blender software. We did cover some shots of which wed learned from our 2D unit last term such as a dolly zoom and panning shots. To have a go at this we used 2 premadeContinue reading pre-production: camera and previs
Sound For this week’s class we were covering the film pilers of sound and editing. This all comes together to help us understand our respective short films. Though out the installation lecture we had some examples of how sound was used like in Oppenheimer when the bomb goes off. They would cut theContinue reading Sound / Editing
presentation / pendulum and ball For today’s class we had our presentation of our idea for a short film. It is safe to say that it did not go very well because we had elements of our narrative but, due to poor planning and on all sides of this our main pointsContinue reading presentation / pendulum and ball
Mise-en-scene For today’s lecture we went over the film pillars with cinematography and mise-ne-scene and all the technique hidden within them. This would include light set up, camera shot, blocking, costumes, environmental design and colour. Then the idea was to spot theses in action such as the Pixar short film ‘Birds’ and a shortContinue reading Mise-en-scene
The Master Control For this class we developed deeper into blender animation my understanding rigging and the master control. The idea is that a rigg allows you to adjust and move your model within the animation process and is meant to make it much easier to move. We did two tasks to getContinue reading pendulum
Monomyths For today’s class we were going over the pillars of filmmaking which, includes cinematography, sound mise-en-scene art direction, sound, and editing. The second thing we went over is the idea of monomyths and the hero’s journey, theirs is one in the same but, the reason we were learning about them is how theyContinue reading Monomyths
Narative for today’s class we were talking about narrative and what makes good narrative within a short film.We were also being introduced to the idea of the 3D pipeline and the stages we would have to go through with that, though we are familiar with the modeling stage and do have some extra Continue reading per-production idea generation for narative
Creature of the Lake For the first task of this new unit, we were to watch our assigned film and get our fist thoughts on the short in general. The whole idea behind this unit is to discuss with our team and analyses our film and over the next few weeksContinue reading Creature of the Lake
2D reflection Going into this project I was nervous about the workload but, after working with my team we worked out a better way of dealing with the workload and stress. Though this meant I had to cut some scenes from my animation due to being a bit unnecessary. The opening to my sequenceContinue reading 2D Reflection
