Show Reel Term 1
Research Presentation
Because of the fact that i wanted this to be the subject of what i would focus on int he new term i wanted to pick a subject i was passionate about. i initially wanted to focus on the software “unreal engine” as this was a subject that i particularly want to focus on in the upcoming term. although i have also been very interested in the development of Artificial Intelligence.
I decided that it was the subject i wanted to focus on due to there being a substantial amount of research done on it. I also felt that AI technology is something i wanted to look deeper into in order to get a better understanding of it.

Poster Layering
Here i have created a sequence tracking and overlaying a background onto a movie poster, this needed to have a swivel and be tracked properly in order to give it the 3D screen look, as apposed to a more basic poster look.
Week 5 & 6
For these weeks I have worked on my rotoscoping skills, as well as colour grading and correction. Using tracking I have placed a castle on the hill just to add an extra dynamic to the clip. The keyframes moving the balloon have been “Beziered” in order to smoothen out the movement of the balloon to make it more realistic.
Above i have referenced the ability to use other screens as a background, or paste certain layer into other moving shots.
- Adding skin to the facial model was done by selecting the surface of the model that had been created, and selecting the option to add a texture and finding the skin file that is shown below.
- Texturing and doing eyes was slightly less complicated because the surface of the eyeballs is a much more simplistic shape, allowing for them to be centred more easily.
