Project pipeline:
(Pre-Production)
Research
Idea Development
Storyboard
Animatic
(The Production)
2D concept
3D modeling&Texturing
Camera work
(Post Production)
Compositing
Gamma Correction
Rendering

I'm not sure about how long exactly I will spend for each step, around 3 weeks for the pre and the production maybe. The main forcus should be on post production for this unit.

Think you know them, but do you?

This is a research of the definations on wiki. Some seems obvious but still worth look at. So here it is...
Compositing
Digital Compositing
Gamma Correction

Research


This video shows a simple and practical way to rebuild an environment.


This is a composite of a shot which is a photograph of two buildings, combined with some 3D boxes. All could be done in Maya.


This shows a breakdown of the number of steps for matte painting.


A reel shows a range of inspiring external environment.

CVA 204 Industrial Exercises - Brief

This is my own Brief for this unit. Through out this term I would like to concentrate on developing post-production skills including: matte painting, 2.5D projection, editing, compositing, and gamma correction etc. It would meet 2 areas out of 4 which set by the project brief, which are:
a) 2D conceptualizaion
d)visualisation (texturing and rendering)



Brief B: Animation

We Ravensbourne College need to make a commercial promoting College's gernal image as a body of creativity, and mention that the College is moving from the current location to the middle of nowhere. It should be creative, attractive and stand out. It must be deadly funny or deadly cool stuff.

The video is expected to be 30 second long. There is no limit for the format, it can be 2D, 3D animation or life action, or mixed. As long as the college's image is recogniziable. A storyboard before the actual making explaning why they have taken that approach would be excellent support.
