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.

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.

While watching this clip I was particularly found of the fact that there was a mysterious and intriguing mood created by the silent reaction shots and the omniscient view of the audience. I also like the perspective shots of the audience looking through the camera when Jeff looks through the camera which makes it feel like you're a part of the action. In total it was a well put toge...
