- We invited teammate from special effects to join our group in a collaborative meeting and decided choice the theme “Utopia and dystopia”.
- We are going to produce a short film combining visual effects, glitch art and green screen filming.
This week we worked together to define the plot of the short film, inspired by the Matrix and love, death, robots.
- A distinction between anti-utopia and utopia through the virtual world and the real world.
Storyline: In an anti-utopian world where humans have lost their bodies and their brains are trapped in containers, unable to experience life in a real way, and the antithesis is to experience the good in real life.
- The initial idea of a utopian world: the happiness in everyday life, such as taking a bite of pizza, calling friends and laughing together, a couple meeting and hugging.
(Here we will need special effects to create the characters: e.g. the characters get in a good mood their body temperature rises, their body colour changes to warm tones, etc.)
- This part of the scene is modelled, we will use green screen and act out the required movements, then the special effects will be created by a team of special effects professionals.
- During the week we discussed with sara the ideas and progress of the group. Sara gave us great advice!
For example, to consider how to combine 3D with the required 2D effects, and provided us with great references for this. Sarah also helped us with some technical issues. For example, the issue of booking the green screen classroom
