Project 1 - Self Portrait

For our first project we have to make a self portrait using any medium. It must contain a narrative and references.

Narrative

I went for a very moody, serious and grainy theme for this one. I used photography as my medium as i already have a lot of experience in this. To achieve this moody look I will be keeping it black and white and ill use different reflective objects and mirrors.

Process

I used a variety of reflective items I found around the house to make and my camera to take the pics using a tripod.

Sony A7III with Sigma 24-70 f2.8

Knife, Spatula and a Bowl

Raw files

I took variety of angles and edited the ones I chose using Adobe Lightroom. I used alot of grain, Blew out the highlights, and converted them to grayscale to bring out the feel I wanted for the pictures. I used Adobe Photoshop for one composition.








Edited files

Final Composition

I selected the ones I liked from the ones I edited and then compiled them into an A4 canvas in Adobe Photoshop.

 Project 2 - Production After Animatics and acting was done, we moved onto setting up the set in MAYA. I used a rig for my character called Jasmine Rose by Ahmed Shalaby. I first imported my Acting into Adobe animate and listed out how many frames each scenes used and blocked it out in MAYA. I made set before I did this. Figure 1 - Animation Blocking After I blocked out the scenes I started animating scene by scene. After animating the scenes I added rough lighting to see what it would look like in the final render. I rendered the scenes in this lighting for feedback. Figure 2 - Project 2
