Week 14 - back to college

Monday: Applied for a workplacement in Stockholm, illustration place. Online meeting on skype, Raph couldn't be online but i texted him n he gat all the info in a mail. We looked at the blockout again, cut it down more so its down to 4:02 now, passed the new version to Emmet and Wan and Joise. I played around with the dead world, still don't know AE so well but i am slowly learning. Rendered out tests, still think its looks SHIIIIT. I am loosing hope in the mixed media idea cos the 2D clouds does not look good in the deadworld, anyway, I am rendering out mist and clouds etc from maya so i am trying different things, hope i can upload the tests now! Trying to make mist and clouds in After effects as well, the kind of test i wanted and thought that Patrick was dojng for us the first term, i like after effects though but it doesnt feel as if there's time to sit and watch tutorials and look for tutorials, well.. lets see how many hours it takes before i can upload some tests..



not the film but a still, the deadworld all in AE - mist looks shit in 2D though so i will try to make AE mist and watercolor 2D mist again but with texture so its less flat



playing with layers in AE and learning effects, not there yet, just playing around trying to figure out HOW to do it :)

Not happy with the tree trainstation, will add more branches and ask Alex why the mesh doesn't go together eventhough all vertices are merged, weird. Might look better with a bump map, will do a quick test.

I always have problems with uploading films, anyway- low quality as hell but thats the only way i can get films up. I prefer 3D mist and clouds - look spoky in the end, don't want it to look like a ghost film so i will work on the background there and render animated light.



I built more branches to the tree and moved them around to see where i could add them- they looked weird where ever I put them..we dont have time, Wan loves the tree and Jessica likes it to, Mike hates it but, we don't have time - and i kind of like it to - and its my film moahahahaha, ( evil laugh) but he is right, how will people know its a tree? i will add a bump map n play around with textures.
