VFX2 Class Shoot

Today we took advantage of the overcast skies to shoot outside for our VFX2 class project. We've made a clean plate from a frame of Jurassic Park, and we're going to insert ourselves into the footage. We figured out the perspective and horizon line of the shot camera, and thanks to IMDB we know that Sam Neil (aka Dr. Grant) is 6 feet tall exactly, we were able to figure out what angles we needed to film to get the correct perspective.

Not having to set up lighting equipment was a bonus.

Animation 3 - Short Film

In Animation 3 this semester, we took a vote what students most wanted to take on over the next 15 weeks.  Overwhelmingly they wanted to create a short film...so create a short film we did.  Student each pitched 1 rough ideas, of which one they went ahead and fully storyboarded. Then we voted on a class which idea we thought was the most creative, interesting, and doable in our short timeframe.

So today we premiered that short during the class Final.  Thirteen students spent almost exactly two months to create the minute long short you see above!

Art + Design Open House

 

Last night Art + Design held it's first ever "Open House" event to conclude the end of the semester.  It was great seeing all the work produced over the last 15 weeks all at once.  For us Anim/VFX folk, I created a new reel of the semesters work and we had a few of the 3D prints sitting out in the hallway.
