Synoptic Project: Inside Head Neurons

Synoptic Project: Inside Head Neurons

For part of the inside the head scene there will be neurons in the background, so I am making these within After Effects using this image from Google. First try I used a mix of Glow and Vegas effects to create this. I added more layers of this, starting them at different times and changing each layers colour, however I didnt think this would work that well, so I created a new comp and added a CC…

During some shots of the film, we are going to include a logo for the company “CG Enterprises” , so I needed to create some concepts for this, then allow the group to vote on a design they like.

  These are some of the designs I quickly mocked up in my sketchbook, I then sent these to the group, coming back with these results.

  As there was a majority vote for the top left design, I then made a mock version in photoshop, then sent it to the group again.

The only thing that they said to change was the boldness of the font, ending up with this design.

Synoptic Project: Location Sketch

Synoptic Project: Location Sketch

I have created a perspective drawing of one of our possible shoot locations for our synoptic project. I started by sketching the outline to match the location. I then used a mix of markers and pencils for the colouring of the image, however, due to the paper being so cheap the pencils and markers didnt blend that well, so I ended up with horrible patches all over the image due to the markers…

Synoptic Project: Eye Test

Synoptic Project: Eye Test

I decided to do a test on the eye effect for our project within after effects, as the characters eye changes from normal to a red colour. I tracked the shape motion in Mocha AE, as after effects track motion wasnt very reliable for this. Once I exported the shape motion from mocha, I pasted it onto a solid object in after effects. But it had a few issues with lining up properly, so I needed to…

Synoptic Project: Creating a Concept Piece

Synoptic Project: Creating a Concept Piece

For part of our project, I created a concept piece for part of act 2. To do this, I used my posing doll at home, as I couldnt find any reference images online that I didnt like that much or felt that was right. I posed the doll then took a photo and uploaded it onto my computer Then using this, I was able to sketch the character over the top of the image , shown below: Once I created the base…

After Effects: Mocha - Tunnel

After Effects: Mocha – Tunnel

Today I was shown how to use Mocha in After Effects, So I will be practicing more using different shots and images. I imported some test footage of the tunnel. This footage is really “shaky and rotates” a lot, this would be very difficult to track with 1 or 2 point tracking. Next, you go into animation, then click Track in Mocha AE. Next, you find a clean frame, and click on the Spline button,…

Synoptic Project: Character Concepts

Synoptic Project: Character Concepts

In the beginning of the project, I started sketching up some concepts for what the character may look like, using a reference image I was given: The first image I created was more of a realistic style showing the normal work attire, then a more messed up work attire. The second image I created was more of a close up to show what the characters face my look like between the normal work  and then…

Personal Projects: Destroyed City - Video CoPilot

Personal Projects: Destroyed City – Video CoPilot

To practice more with after effects and with Tracking, I followed a tutorial from VideoCoPilot on how to make a destroyed effect on a building, this may also come in handy for the synoptic projects later on. To start with I did a 3D Camera Track, which can be seen below Once the tracking is complete, I selected 3 points on the top of the building to create an ‘Origin Point’ then chose to create a…
