Compositing-Post 5

Due to trouble uploading videos to blogger, I am unable to show the other techniques I have learned throughout this compositing module. Instead, I will simply show my final piece, which I am quite pleased with.

The video is quite small on Blogger, to view a larger version follow the link within the video to Youtube.

In the following posts I will show the videos I have created/ edited in my Compositing class. Adobe After Effects is the program that I have used to create all of these videos, and because it is a lot like Adobe Photoshop I have found the program fairly straightforward to learn.


The first technique I will show is rotoscoping:

Edited (change of eye colour)

Here is the final version of my composition; an extreme foreground element was added to enhance the sense of scale.

Compositing- Post 2

I made slight improvements to my rough draft, trying to address the weak issues within the image.

Although I feel the scene might be a bit too busy, overall I am happy with it and, unless feedback leads to further improvements being made, I will now be looking to create my 'making-of' video in Adobe After Effects.

Compositing- Post 1

For our new Compositing module, we will be destroying a city with the use of effects in Adobe After Effects.

Last week we were asked to collect images for us to use in our piece, and create a rough mock-up (in Photoshop) of what we envisioned our final piece to look like.

I chose to flood Times Square in New York:

There are a few issues with my image so far such as the hand in the foreground looking out of place and I generally feel a lack of depth in the picture but I intend to remedy this by putting more debris in the water to show relative scale. Other than that I am fairly happy with my current composition.
