Week 4 - Filming
Production - Ideation for live shots
Last week the mentors did like the studio lighting style for the live shots so before filming I did some test on the shadows for composition. They also mentioned how the object needed to feel grounded instead of looking like its in a blue void, so I did a gradient on the background as well as tried a color block background.
I also wanted to try different set dressing instead of party items since we have been moving away from those type of prop items in out CG scene. I though that an umbrella and possible a beach towel would tie the live shots into the CG scene more, especially if we use the same umbrella from the CG world.
Production - Filming and Comp
Me and Amanda were able to film our live plates of the cooler in the greenscreen room this past Saturday. We ran into the issue that the cage only gave us prime lenses for our camera so I will need to figure out a way to achieve our zoom in and outs for our shots in post without it looking wrong. Some of the stills from the comp are featured below, as well as a rendered mp4 of shot 050. My goal for shot 010 would be to render out and comp the 3D umbrella into the scene to see how the composition works.
Priority List:
Fix colors/exposure on shot 050
work on CG lighting for shot 020 to establish focal point
Track and get 3D umbrella into shot 010
