Project 303: Finalising the pan shot

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.

Finalising the pan shot

The jungle production had been left entirely up to Jenny and Jono who have both done a fantastic job on the layout, textures and modeling. However it seemed that the final shot of panning up through the canopy to reveal the landscape above was proving difficult to achieve. I joined the two of them to try and make it work. It didn’t take much more then a pair of fresh eyes to help them realize they were pretty much there. I suggested that the fog planes that they had put be taken away and we used Photoshop to achieve a similar appearance. All in all, the canopy shot was pretty much done and with a little tweaking we pulled off something we didn’t think we’d be able to do. Well done guys.

Lighting the pan up set. Was quite hard to get it right, even though it was just a spot light; placement seemed vital in this shot, to not justify the source, but to create a pleasant image.
