The Project Description

This here is my personal blog, that outlines all aspects of my progression throughout the Ani303 project. We are required to write, plan and produce a short movie for the deadline of June 13th 2008. The entire year group has been separated into groups by choosing their favored film, and have dedicated their final year to this project. I personally chose the story written by Johnathan Pryce with the working title 'Aztec Escape'
Follow this blog to find out where, when and what has been going and hopefully get an insight into the way i work with in a group.

Spent an evening lighting the main chamber

Yesterday was a continuation on from the weekend, where once again I found my self with Jono and Dan finishing up during the early hours of the morning after a long attempt to try and light the main chamber within the temple. We took some time concentrating on the lights themselves, but realized that we needed the accompaniment of fog to acquire that dingy dark chamber feel.

This however made todays work a hell of a lot easier as we had decided to keep a similar style running throughout the whole interior. The problem we had was the lighting of the corridors. The justification of light source is hard enough in a large chamber, but in corridors with no light holes it was hard. We decided to place spot lights at either end of the corridors to simulate light flooding from the chambers either side. Furthermore we used a series of low intensity ambient lights to soften the harsh shadows we were getting on our character, which was restricting our view of the characters face and body. The fog node worked throughout and created some pleasing results.
