Adding a new Asset

 One particular shot we had that involved adding more props was LVR 122.



This animation was done by our crewmember Francesca Jassir Noguera, a fantastic job. We had a mask set up for this shot and we first thought that's all we needed. Eventually it came up we should have a folded bundle of the Superhero Coat in the drawer as well but at this stage we didn't have time to make a completely carved out folded coat model, with custom texture.

I thought it would be convincing enough to make a smooth block and borrow the texture from the coat model, I was able to shape out some of the texture.


Alas, it needed just a little more to look like a bundle, so I had it a little more shaped out with the drawer, along with a bulge for the collar ends, and included a fold.

Along with that, I had the mask animation shifted slightly upward to be on top of the bundle. And so came the final result.

Where I haven't gone before

This week has had a little more time consumption due to reviews and long meetings and an important event I had to attend. Nevertheless I got some things done, even things I haven't ventured before. Rigging     We've started with a small group so some of us shared duties. I have a little experience with rigging so as soon as my director asked, I rigged a small prop for her; the Band-Aid. The joints on the left side were mirrored but I didn't think to orient them so rotating them in this video wasn't so convenient ata first.     Eventually I came around to fixing this up, along with the director's request of removing some joint controls to simplify. Animation     For this department I had a big discussion with my director on how I was to animate my shots. These were pretty big changes to make as well so I made my first swing at it.     I'm still making adjustments but I feel like we're getting closer to finishing this. I've mentioned I started other...

Rendering cont'd & Comping Fire

       And so we officially start our rendering chapter and that includes our adding fire to the scenes. Our production includes a large room that is to be on fire, and an active fireplace in the scene after that, and we all thought for sure we would go in the fire simulation direction. We have learned to do that but it would have been time consuming to have learned to perfect it and we were already busy with other areas to make our deadline. Even using it would have taken more time. While we had our mentors last semester, one of them taught us we don't have to have fire in every shot in our first scene, and be cleverly subtle in implying fire using lights in the scenery and using smoke footage. When we received our Post-production teacher, Keith Silva, he convinced us that we can comp in the flames and so far there have been great and easy results out of it as soon as we found the perfect stock footage. As soon as we got into our lighting & rendering chapter, we...
