Fall

Maya/Mental Ray

This project was developed through a preproduction course focusing on the developmental phases of storyboards, research, storytelling and creating dynamic cinematography shots. The final product is a video of all the boards bringing the story to life. I found myself drawn to a more Fantasia-like story tell, thus my concept was tricky for I wanted tell my story by only using colors and compositional choices. I achieved this by using Maya with Mental Ray’s Physical Sun and Texture Nodes to render out the bare and emptiness of the landscape. Then, to bring out the rapid life of the “drop” of color, I added it in the compositing with the combination of Photoshop and After Effects.
