My Spring Reel

Well it's not just the final projects from the spring term. My recently updated spring reel is chop full of interesting work. My emphasis is the seamless integration of various graphical elements (i.e. 2d and 3d design) together with live-action footage; creating a believable photo-realistic experience. Many of which incorporate multiple techniques including keying/matting, color correction, rotoscoping, and digital painting. Try not to blink! Ha.

The Awakening

Things DO go bump in the night! For this final project I wanted create an out-of-body experience (i.e. a ghost effect). Rotoscoping, matting, photo re-touching, and color correcting became my best friends on this project. I started by changing the time of day in the room from day to night in post. If you look closely you'll see I've added flicker effect to the character lying on the sofa. Again, I look for detail. It's a small detail but it adds to the story. Why is this person asleep on the sofa? Oh he must have been watching television and fallen asleep.
