VFX FINAL!!

Here we go, onto our final for the semester! Our final is to create a PSA of some sort so our group decided to do a PSA on going green and being environmentally conscious about your actions! I'm working with the same amazing people i worked with on the green screen project so i'm hoping the final result will be amazing!!! I'll be posting updates as the days go by showcasing our process, everything from reference material, to storyboards, to the final piece.

Green screen!!

This was the very first time we used a green screen in our Visual Effects class. It was also the second project in which we had to work in a team to create the final project. It was a great experience and it really enlightened us on how green screens work and what its benefits are. Obviously, we were going for a street fighter type feel so hopefully we were successful!

Credit also goes to my other group members: Chris Fung, Scott Nishiki, and Maria Vitan!!

TRACKING!!

For this assignment, we learned how to do a 2D track in Nuke! I shot the footage with a Canon 7D, and composited the poster in post!

**Note I created the poster in Illustrator; Cloud Cult is a small band that I really enjoy listening to. I thought it'd be a fun challenge to create a poster for them.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind Revamp

For this assignment in our visual effects class, we had to choose a film, and attempt to recreate 10 sill frames from that movie! It was one of the first times we had to work in a large group and it was a great learning experience. For this shoot we used both the Canon 5D Mark II and the Canon 7D with various prime lenses. It was a great assignment and it really taught us a lot about lighting your subject and really working with limitations and the environment. I hope to do more assignments like this in the future!
