RENDERS + MATTE TESTS

More background integration tests

Posed model + reference (arms to tweak further)

Matte Test

TSYGAN STUDIO INTRO

This is a short credits clip that might come before our film. It is likely we'll go back to it and remove the shaking later on, as well as re-tweak the colours.

SCENE 7 #9 + SCENE 1 #2 COMPOSITING TEST

Another AE experiment, this time for Norma's victory moment, when she stands up on the moon prop before jumping off. My goal was to get a sort of neon light / firework effect (though the result's giving me a very slight 2001: Space Odyssey vibe). The timing will have to be adjusted with the animation itself I reckon.

 

Matte elements finalised for the first shot 

 

SCENE 5 LIGHTING + COMPOSITING TEST

Recently I have tried to light the arena/stage set more properly (though I'm still getting grainy shadows) and set up cameras. Most of the assets are simply textured with a grey lambert as I was planning to rely a lot on AE to bring out over-exposed tints inspired by videos of shows/gigs filmed on phone cameras. I've also composited together some 'home-made' camera flash effects to expand the crowd, so here are a few before-and-after shots with them included.
