Mother's Days : Composite Demonstration

The submission deadline for my degree has now passed so I submitted my work.

There is however, much more to post up and do so I will be continuing my posts for 'Mother's Days' as a continuing personal project.

The clip below is a demonstration of the layers that have been composited using After Effects to make just one segment of Mother's Days.

Mother's Days : Animation Demo Reel

As part of the project submission it is necessary to make a short demo reel to suit the area of my chosen career path from current and previous work.

Mother's Days : CG Composite : Amusement Building : Test 01

These images are a test to see how the 'Amusements building' works when composited into the scene, this is without all of the tweaking that will be done such as added bump maps, colour correction and lens blur. Image 01 is the composite with the CG Wall and CG Amusements building composited with the Stop-motion characters using After Effects. Image 02 shows the comparison between the production view and the concept view. And Image 03 is how the elements look in Maya through the camera resolution gate with the stop-motion segment as an image plane for line-up purposes.

Mother's Days : August Segment Test

Clip 01. The segments of the August scene. A little rough still but more work is yet to be done for the 'post-clean-up & composite'. Also the background buildings and sound will be added.
