WEEK 9-10

FINAL TOUCHES

Last two weeks. The last stretch of the race. Our team has come so far in the way we started. We have some pretty amazing still frames and advances. So let me walk you through them from the compositing side.

Minor changes were made for the last two weeks that created a lot of difference.

The first one was that the comp for the second shot has the wall filled up with graffiti and you can no longer tell that it is a parking garage.

The portal on the second shot was saturated more so that it would match the color saturation from the first shot. There was bloom added in the background and no changes were made to the smoke integration.

I fixed the ZDepth a bit more on the buildings for the first shot. They no longer all have the same amount of blurriness, but for our Could Be Better, I think that the buildings need to be repositioned in the Maya scene so it creates the proper amount of distance in the buildings.

I also adjusted the glow for the holograms and neon signs. I shuffled out the emission AOV and composited three different glows to make it more interesting.

Overall, I learned a lot of lessons and along the way, I made some great friends.

This is the breakdown for the final video:
