The Aim
The aim is to create a piece that utilizes the skills we have learned  in post production. For this project I am going to produce an animation or object that can be layered over live footage. To do this I shall use Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere.

Mind Map

  • Person smoking and there forts come out in smoke as words
  • Time lapse of bournemouth from day to night
  • Flying car in car park
  • acid trip
  • minority report style computer
  • augmented reality
  • Composite a maya character into film

My Idear

I am going to try and Create a flying car, I hope to place the car into footage of a road or in a car park. I think i will need to learn about time-code to achieve this.

Artist research

second draft

I decide to go for a very contemporary out of space sort of car, as Making a detailed car was way too tricky, and outside my skill level.

Draft Tincturing
My model looks a bit like a air fix model. So I have started to create textures for my car, primarily metal textures Im not sure i like it!! I think i have to export the surface and texture my model using uv mapping.

Lighting: Above is a blue area light, i did this because it looks kind of cool but is useless to me as i need it to mach the light of the car park.

Change of plan

I’m going back to my original plan, I’m going to try and convey a human emotion using post production, The idea is that i will place a subject in front of a green screen and ask them to look sad and alone. composites behind them will be a busy high street, but the the footage of the high street will be done on SLR camera (1 frame every 5 seconds) This give the effect that time is moving on fast (time lapse) while the subject in the fore ground is left behind

Examples Below

Above: great example of time lapse writer here in Bournemouth, however for my work I’m going to something more similar to the piece below, it will be easy to recreate the same shoot angle on Bournemouth high street and composite my friend in the foreground.

Note: have to make shore nobody walk directly in front of my camera as this will ruin a days work!!

As its coming up to half term Im not going to have enough time to get a SLR out for the holidays, so Im going to do a piece on opposites in personality. The idea is Im going to have twins sitting at a table with opposite personalities, but the trick will be that they will both be the same person.

I like the way this video turned out, however the sound quality is rubbish & because I’ve done this take outside were the sun kept going behind the clouds which throw continuity out of the window. Im going to do this again but inside instead, this should solve the continuity problem as i will have artificial lighting.
