The Sunset shot revamp!

I wanted the final shot of our film to memorable so I decided to revisit the original sunset moodboard that I painted and add further detail to the piece.

The finished Seagull animation

Here it is the final Seagull animation animated by yours truly, enjoy. (Ben Brown added the SFX rendering to this scene).

War Flash Backs!!!

Ben Brown the director of our group wanted to incorporate footage of a film in our film so that it had some world war action scenes to act as a catalyst for the Soliders journey into insanity. I used a couple of examples then cut them together in after effects with shots from our old animatic.(The animation was completed by Neil Marriott)

The film coming to life

I compiled a quick rough cut with all the recent renders to see if all the shots flowed smoothly which it did not, having straight cuts seemed to be slightly fast and lost the pacing which we originally intended to have. I added fades after each shot to ease the pasing and now flows at a steady pace.

Seagull Animation

Finally I get some animating to do, this animtion was a big collaborative effort by Cathal Mellackh, Louise Duncan and myself and we are very proud of it. One of the main problems that we encountered during the rigging process was how to make the wings flap out. Cathal later figured out to morph them out of the Seagulls body which works very well as the motion is too quick to see, although there is texture stretch when the wings are dormant.

Low poly modelleing and Texturing

During the final year of study at Ravensbourne I wanted to increase my modelling knowledge so that I can later develop this skill further on other projects. I worked on various films and asked to model low polygon obelcts and props. Eventhough the models are very low poly and are primitive compared to other cg work, I decided to model from a texturing point of view concentrating on clean geometry.
