Thesis Production Blog Week 17

Updated: Oct 9, 2023

Animatic Revision Notes:

Animatic notes that I made on the recent proposal animatic changes, mostly cinematography notes for framing.


Compositing Research from Wednesday Meeting 9/20/2023:

Compositing research I did during the Wednesday evening meeting to communicate to the rest of the team my ideas for how texturing/compositing and stylization could be addressed in post in a more uniform way since our group still seems to be struggling with finding a repeatable process to texture objects and have them all look cohesive.



Story Notes from 9/22/2023 Production Meeting:

Notes taken during the 9/22/2023 Friday Production meeting on story/cinematography of the current version of the animatic to try to overhaul and address a lot of the story beats that get lost in Act 1-2 where it feels like a slideshow montage.


Environment Updates 9/20/22023:

I worked with Brentan at the lab on the environment and lighting in the shots he was blocking and pulled up some placeholder trees to replace the cylinder/sphere tree geometry with free tree assets from online in order to have a more accurate idea of what the lighting is doing in the scene. I also set up a basic color variation material on the trees. It's a bit too saturated and needs more finesse but just using an AiColorJitter node I took the downloaded free textures from online and was able to give them some variance. The trees are only one single tree geo which can be tweaked later but I think this really elevated the beginning sequence just to give a brief idea of what the final renders could start looking like instead of the blocking renders. We also loaded in the current version of the matte paintings from Teragen and loaded them on the skydome to see how they could look. They need to be much higher res but I have hope for them as a viable option.



Deliverables for Fall 2023 Production Pass 2 (9/29/2023):

Turntable of retopologized low poly model made by Carl and I. I animated and rendered the turntable, however most of the clothing retopology was done by Carl besides the face.
