wk 13 crit

sunnygrid_001_h264 from timothy Cheng on Vimeo.




1st scene:

- show passing of time ( darker sky to lighter sky) maybe add a lens flare to enhance it.
- volumetric area light underneath the first scene panel to show it energizing.

we need consistent energy lines and the energy need to be on the floor and animated with null object.

multistage pull back for the last scene. ( try to show the whole grid)

I will post the video up later.

We should probably meet up over the weekend, either sat or sun to completely finish the video ( c4d and after effects) And I will try to finish the sound effect tuesday night.

Meeting up

Hey guys

it would be best if we can have the cinema 4d files completely done and rendered by next week(wk 12)!
we need at least 2 weeks for aftereffects and sound ( i'm going to need at least 3 4 days for the sound)

Tony, we are going to meet up over the weekend. possibly sat and sunday, please try to join us.
I am really worried about the trees, because I know we need some variation. Please let me know if you can finish it Tony. if not, please send us the files.

the other scene that's far from done is the top view city scene, so we should really get going with the building animations.

the aftereffect is going to play a pretty important part to make our video look cool. I know Tony you are good at it, so we'll need your assistant when it comes to aftereffect.


week 11 overview

Things to be fix:

Tree: change the anchor point of the branches, the leaves have to be grow from the bottom to top.

When the first building come out: it should come out faster in the scene and shows slower animation forming the form/building.

The end scene: use new material w/ luminance affect on a plane object(the color have to be white) to replace the light.
Then put into after effect, use Starglow effect to change the lighting.
preset: white star, input channel: lightness

First scene cameramatic: no stop zoom in.

Bridge: it should be animate like building. exp) grow from the bottom to top

bridge and building



the bridge is assembling kinda fast. I'll fix that but this is how it's going to be



The building went off the camera, but i'll scale it down some more.

Let me know if you guys have any suggestions@

wk 10 overview


Patty: work on the first two scene. ( wave, mountains) section the mountains so it's easier to apply texture.

Debbie: Continue with the city scene. apply and experiment the city light thing he showed us.

Tony: fix tree animation.

Tim: 1. fix camera speed.
2. I think Rob mentioned that we should have a couple different tree animation yea?. So I think i'll do the tree animation.
3. building animation if i have time.

Debbie and Patty. I know you guys usually work on adv 3d over the weekends. maybe I can join you guys on a sunday? join us if you can Tony

Since we need some after effects work and some sound effects. we should have all c4d rendered by week 12, week 13 the latest. Let's get this thing done!
