Leadership and Project Management
I was the group leader however learning from my time in my second year I took a much more relaxed position, I pitched the initial idea however as a group we spent a while talking back and forth developing it into something we could all get behind. I was also responsible for managing the project working to a 2-week early deadline allowed us to complete this project efficiently and to a quality we were all happy with
Keying and Roto
We filmed using black magic pocket 6ks which gave us a massive amount of pixels to work with making pulling a key really easy and simple, I used a mix of Keylight and Luma Keyers to get a sold key, I then manually roto-ed around the actors feet as I needed to grade the floor separately from them to better blend it with the CG renders
Matching Live Plates to CG Environments
I used multiple grades throughout the scripts to tweak the colours of the CG renders aswell as match the live plates colours as one was filmed at night and the other at midday
Custom Scripts
Lastly, I created my first custom gizmo that used a Zdepth channel that has been shuffled into the alpha channel and had its BnW values tweaked to grade a 3D scene based on how far away the objects are. I called this a Depth Haze node because I used it to create a hazy effect for the mountains in the distance
