Live Avtion Prototype

This is a test shot I did last week, just to practice on the shooting and trying to get a sense how to work on stuff like this. The left one is the ending cut of my animation, the right one is the first cut. I will upload the footage once I finish the keying work.

It was a really fun experience, thanks to Mike and Joana, they are really good actors. Also Esteban helped me a lot on the shooting. I found it extremely difficult to get the good lighting, which has a huge influence on the quality of the image. Also I had some problem keying the footage. However, it was a good learning experience.

Ideally it will be a piece that combines motion graphic and 3d visual effect. Sorry if some transitions in between is not very clear right now. It took me a long time trying to make it informative and making sense in a way. I also took the suggestion of Ethan from midterm presentation and tried to make the OS sounds more personal. ...
