Final Project

OK. So in taking on this project I decided that I wanted to play with After FX and Photoshop's ability to create fake 3D space. Intitially my idea had been to combine atcual footage with 2D pictures that I created some form of 3D space with using Photoshop's vanishing point tool in filters. In the end, the footage did not look as attractive as the After FX techniques so I cut it.

This 30 second video took a lot of trial and error. i was not that familiar with the camera techiniques and really took on this project to test myself on it. Either that or I am a masochist who wanted to spend an hour trying to figure out how to get the camera to aim downward without losing the picture.

The idea behind it is that the camera is from a point of view of a fairy that gets led astray by a staircase that leads him through a room and a hallway that he escapes to eventually return to his fairy brethren. Enjoy!

Final Project Set-up

Proposal: For my final project I intend to create a sort of surreal world that is entered through a door in a hall. Because my actual artistic ability is severely lacking I intend to use a collection of photos that I will then arrange and use the After FX camera as well as 3D.

Assets:

Photography:
-Hallway
-Close-up on door
-Tree
-Lit Cigarette
-Lighter
-Music David Bowie

Footage:
-Person walking up stairs
-Person lighting a cigarette

Particles:
-Smoke
-Flames

Schedule:
Because of personal issues I have had to condense this to two weeks instead of three.

Week 1: I took the photographs as well as got most of the footage, although I plan to reshoot some of it in better lighting. Begin editing.

Week 2: Fine tune editing and perfect the particles.
