Pre-Production Documentation

Pre-Production

For this upcoming production I decided to partner up with Andrew. I wanted to be able to focus on the role of the cinematographer and VFX artist. As the cinematographer I worked with Andrew on the storyboard. One of the investigations that I did was on lighting which also further educated me in the art of cinematography. I also helped come up with the concept for the film although Andrew did almost all of the writing. With the cinematographer role I was mostly focused on the use of lighting for my blender digital set. This is because I had complete free reign over the lighting for the set since it was done on a computer. The other thing is when working with science fiction color in lighting is key. For my blender project every light that I used was a color. There was not a single white light used to light the scene. As the VFX artist I had to perform every job. Since I was starting from scratch I looked at concept art online for the sci-fi look I was trying to achieve. The look that I was going for was that of a blade runner esc world. Below are a few of the reference images I used.

However simple it may be, text and image is also very effective. The effectiveness of text and image is also why its used so commonly. If you want to send a message, simply attract an audience with the artwork and place your message on top of it. The audience will be sure to see your message as well as your art.

Investigation 2/28

Brainstorming Process Currently ironing out the idea for my next film and it has been a bit of a ride. Since my last film was about not being able to come up with an idea now I have to come up with an idea. I started off with a rough concept for a guy stuck in a dream and went with that for a week and a half or so, than I realized it was bad. I just didn't know what the focus of the story was. So, I totally changed the script and here are the pages of my notebook where I worked it out.
