week 7

SCULPTING, FILMING, MODELLING, ENVIROMENTS, EDITING, KEYING, INTERNSHIP

Spent majority of my semster break finshing off my internship editing masters videos for Good Health Design but now that I've finished that I can focus all my attention on my capstone.

I did some adjustments to my puppet, making him a bit stronger and dettaching his arms (hidden by his sweater) to give him more flexiblitity.

I also made some props, I made some hand puppets for shot where theses just a close up of their hands, I also made a tea pot and experimented with using kinetic sand as drink powder! 

3D modelling hasn't been something that i've often gotten to do so I really enjoyed creating my bathroom enviroment. It also helped that I based it off my own bathroom which was an easy reference. 

I used subtle textures with a pastel palette that I picked out before hand. 

I then rendered a still frame for each of my needed shots and put them into procreate on my ipad where I collaged on top of them adding clutter, texture and charm. It's starting to really encapsulate hybrid media! Very exciting!

Then a majority of my time I spent going through the footage and making sure I have everything. The footage itself is quite choppy but for one stop motion animator it's unrelaistic that it's gonna be smooth. But I do enjoy the juxtaposition between smooth models and choppy animation. 

But I do have to remember I'm here for the visual effects not the animation. 

I also did some editing for my bathroom scene which is what I'm gonna develope for this first brief. I colour corrected any weird frames, timed, cut and keyed them. I also turned each shot into an EXR sequence ready for Nuke ompositing yipee!!

Going forward I'm going to start on my toothpaste spit simulation :)
