Week 2

We presented our pitch at the beginning of the week and now we are going to implement the following feedback:

• Less saturated lighting

• Overall mood and color choices

• Better references for lighting

• Overall in class they were encouraging macro camera shots

So the team started gather reference for better lighting, exploring switching up shot composition and using more AI assistance for ideation and shot exploration.

For FX we used a bed sheet and played around with different movements that could be cool cloth effects.

These ar some early FX tests for 3D previs

We explored changing shot 4. Removing the cloud engulfing shot and instead having the cloth going over the camera lead the transition. Also explored adding a more intentional camera move to reveal the final bed being laid. This is with the cloth fx before the camera move, that still needs to be updated to match the new camera.

Collisions test with mixamo falling animation against cloth on bed

We gathered cloth FX reference from real life playing around with bedsheets.

For next week going to work on locking shots. From there I can finalize preliminary cloth FX with low resample to get the feel of the animation for the shot and then move forward to getting the right folds and stuff. R&D for threading shot and first pass.
