VSFX752- Project 4 Art Direction and Mood

Updated: May 10, 2020

In this project, we have to chose one of the work from a famous cinematographer and try to match to mood of the scene. Based on some advise from portfolio review, this time I want to pick some photo-realistic style of photo as my lighting reference.


Final Render





ABOUT THE REFERENCE

I chose Roger Deakins's Revolutionary Road as my reference. The light from the cosmetic mirror was quite interesting. Also, the room included multiple light sources can let me study how to control the lights accurately.



ANALYSIS THE SCENE


**Multiple way of analysis the color



However, before getting started, I liked to analysis the picture first. Trying to find difficulty will help me to do lighting efficiently. Here were some of the challenge I assumed:


1.Lots of small items need to find from out source (might have to re-texture it).

2.The better visual delivery needs character included.

3. Cosmetic mirror area. (light bulb, mirror, table's reflection)

4.Limited vision of the scene.


THE CHALLENGE


1. The light bulb: when I created the light at tungsten, the scene started appearing some noise.

So I try to find which layer did that, and it was mesh light. I did't use enough AA to cover the quality, once I increased the value, the issue got fixed.


2. The structure of the scene was limited, and it will be a problem when I turn the environment into 360 degree camera.


3. Watermark

I got some unexpected result from Render farm when it crushed.


IN THE PROCESS


When I finished the first frame, it was the time to go to the sequence process. However, the movement brought up so many problem. But lucky it was not something irreparable. Such as texture flashing, model crossing.

CONCLUSION

I had a lot of fun on Project 4, I enjoyed the problem solving and also quite happy of how the work's result.
