Week 7

Our Mentors for this week Molly, Luke, Hailey, and Olivia gave us lots of important feedback. Some of it is as follows:

Camera move where it transitions feels weird.
Motion blur on portal push or fake. Chronos motion blur test.
Make background (Shot 04) more realistic. Too defocused.
Bring mushrooms back. Can keep new movement for camera and animation, just add mushrooms in.
Maybe use mushrooms as out of focus elements
Brighten floor/table for Shot 04.
Color of background in Shot 02 & 03 should match and darken.
Shot 02 & 03 same continuous animation between the shots.
Still not feeling the table.

Things that I need to do

Make logo solid.
Motion blur add to portal.
Grading and Color Correcting.
Fix background to make more believable.
Work on making them “feel” the table.
Fix interactive lighting.
Add grain.

This is the work that was presented on Tuesday by my team.

I was testing out different backgrounds, and messing with the portal light that I rendered out.

This was another version made a little bit later and shown to the teachers. I am going to work on making the lighting affect the world more. I will also try. bringing back the old background but flip the image over.

This is a test with the old background. Even when it wasn’t nearly as blurry, we didn’t like the way it looked.

This is with the light on the scrolls, main book, and table. I’m working on getting it on the other two books and integrating the background more.

Here is the work in progress done this week on my end. I’m very lucky that my team mates are so capable.
