Scene 3: Cinematic – Final Product
For the final product I put the scene into after effects, adding a glow effect onto the advertisement signs, to make them look more neon. I animated a bullet train passing through the scene as the sleek design fits in with my art direction than a regular train. I also added a rainfall effect over […]
Scene 3: Cinematic – Water Reflections
Using the buildings in the scene I created copies of them manipulating their positions and opacities and adding a filter over them to make it look as though the ground is wet and the buildings and signs are being reflected onto the ground as I intend to add rain into the scene.
Scene 3: Cinematic – Colour Balance/ Development
I then used colour balance to adjust the colours, making it less pink/green and more pink/blue, which are the colours that are heavily featured in neo-style cities. I added advertisements onto the buildings which was inspired by the film Bladerunner, helping to add to the futuristic, neo-city art direction.
Scene 3: Cinematic – Masking/ Colour Adjustment
Using an image of skyscrapers I found on the internet, masked it with the photograph I took to create a more dense looking city shot, I then adjusted the hue and saturation of the image to make it look as vibrant and neon as my intended art direction.
Scene 3: Cinematic – Initial Photographs
For the third scene, I took a photograph of a plaza outside of some apartment blocks, with the intention of using it to create a cinematic scene in the cyberpunk/ neo-Tokyo style.
Scene 2: Mixed Media – Final Product
I added my character to the masked background on after effects, along with a blank PNG layer so I could add the snowfall effect from after effects on top of the scene to make it more active and help combine the two contradictory styles, I animated the character just by rotating it slightly left to […]
Scene 2: Mixed Media – Animated Character
For the second type of media of the mixed media, I created a yeti-like creature on animate to import into the scene, I made his fur vibrant blue and purple so I could later key it out in after effects to give him a real world texture of fur.
Scene 2: Mixed Media – Masking/ Colour Balance
Using the images I found, I created a singular image by masking them together, I then adjusted the image to colour balance the trees in the front to as similar hue of blue that the cave used, making it though as they belonged together.
Scene 2: Mixed Media – Initial Imagery
For Scene 2, mixed media, I have an idea of where I want to take it from the start, so for the initial images to use for the scene, I used the internet to find images of snow, snow covered trees and ice caves.
Scene 1: Character/ Background Match – Final Product
Along with the painted background and cyclist, I also added some objects in the foreground on separate layers, so they could be utilised in after effects to create a parallax effect from them, they were also objects I painted to keep with the art direction of the scene. I added audio of a bike […]
Scene 1: Character/ Background Match – Art Direction
After discussing my art direction with a tutor, I decided to make the scene in a painterly style, I started by painting over the masked image I created to make it look like a painting, I then found an image of a cyclist on the internet and applied the same technique to it so it […]
Scene 1: Character/Background Match – Masking/ Photo Manipulation
With the photos I took, I masked them together to make a single image to use as the background for the scene, I then manipulated the image, adjusting the hue and saturation of the image as well as adding an orange filter over the top of it using the blending options.
Scene 1: Character/ Background Match – Initial Photographs
For the first scene, character matching the background, I went out and took photographs of a park, getting different angles of the same area with the intention of creating a single image using the masking tool in Photoshop.
