13 - Texturing process Hand

After completed the modelling stage I proceded to the texturing phase then took it into unity  a gaming software, which we previously used last year with luke. I took it into unity to set the lighting for the hand to create a more realistc and vibrant animation.

13 - Textuing process Head

Same process applied to the head, however the head was the trickiest part to model due to the ergonomical and style and having difficulties modelling the head in maya due to the head shape. To which I had to take it into Zbrush and completly remodel then took it back into maya for the texturing.

13 - Texturing process Foot

Same with the hand, the same process has been applied to the Foot below:

D-eb31e - Storyboards Final

Having drawn up previous shots for Debbie Lucy had done an updated shot list to which she wanted me to draw up.

Additional Work - Film production Graduation film SPILT MILK - Storyboarding

Below is a partial shot list from the film with more shots that need to be drawn up. This is going to take some time doing but will be done. As apart from my grad film D-eb31e these films are the most and longest storyboards I have worked and will expand my portfolio further.

13 - Part 1 - Animationn tests

From the concepts that have been drawn up below are tests of some of the animated body parts. Produced in Maya. The notes and step by step process of how this was produced will be on another post.

Rough Foot animation version one:

This version being too fast and the movement didn't seem to work . Due to it being to restricted. 
 


Foot animation version Two:

Amended foot design having different movement giving it a loose and experimental feel.



Hand animation:

Need to amend the thumb movement on the hand. As it isn't accurate when the hand clenches the thumb goes outwards which I need to amend to make it seem more realistic and accurate.

D-eb31e - Indiegogo shoot

Shootool - Camera Slider

Indiegogo shoot part 2

Before we shot the trailer for D-eb31e myself and Tom had an Induction into Shootool Slider which acts as an great tool for capturing good stablelized footage. To which Tom and I had tested out a few tests shots. You can find these test fooatges on Thomas Doukinatsas blog.

D-eb31e 

To promote our graduation film D-eb31e we had created an indiegogo page to help fundraise our film as well promote our trailer through this as well. With lucy explaining the films concept and why we needed the budget.

 The first attempt of lucy's talk was shot in the photography room with a DSLR, however due to some complications with the Audio we decided to reshoot it on the same day we would be shooting the trailer, using the URSA to better show off our production values.

The URSA was a pleasure to work with, however the battery only lasts about 1,5 hours and the card can record 25 minutes, and takes about 40 to unload. It was good that we figured this out on the test day as i believe now Laura has added in the rental of a CFast card in the budget to be more efficient

This was also an opportunity to test out the actual workflow that we will use in the final film. The footage was offloaded on to a hard drive using ShotPutPro, a file transfer software aimed at digital imaging technicians which also verifies that the copy was successful without any errors by comparing both sets of files.

The trailer shoot itself was a really nice opportunity to test out the high speed feature of the URSA, filming up to 120fps for a full hd shot. We managed to get some really nice results and hopefully the trailer will be compelling to watch and instructive for us as a crew.


Here is the Trailer:
