As promised at today's Unit 3 briefing, I've put together some examples of previous first year digital set + matte painting final scenes. I have included the final scene and digitally painted backdrop so you can see the relationship between the two components. I have also included links to the final scenes as posted on the respective student's blogs back in January 2009. What I want ALL current first years to do is take the time to browse backwards from these final scenes and take a really good look at the bodies of work created by each of the featured students in response to the brief. It will give you a clear idea of our expectations for your semester 1 'finale' and will clue you in to the challenges ahead - and the creative and technical ambition necessary to meet them. Viewing these blogs should also make clear that some of you are simply not working hard enough yet - or engaging as effectively with the blog/feedback forum as you could and should. Don't be intimidated folks, be inspired! In common with many of you, the featured students had no prior cg experience before starting the course back in September 2009 - they achieved these results after just 15 weeks, having followed the exact same curricula as you...
This is Jolanta's final scene: everything is modelled, apart from the back wall.

Nice post Phil, hope you didn't mind me stealing your thunder as it were by posting Leo's up.
ReplyDeleteNot at all - great minds thinking alike and all that! :-) Sorry I didn't get back down stairs to see you, but the film finished late, so I hope you went down the pub with Bob & Co or something equally sociable.
ReplyDeleteWe went to the Chip shop. Does that count? I stayed for quite some time, but everyone else was leaving and I didn't quite fancy staying in the base room on my own. So you have my apologies for not being there.
