Research Project: Artifact 1

Image
The broad area of my research project can be defined as follows: a look at retro material (physical) special effects in comparison to CGI (computer generated imagery) in the film industry. After reading through my research document again I discovered the main essence of the paper and noted any major concepts it discussed and analyzed. This is what I concluded. 1.) Had CGI replaced physical effects as an industry standard. 2.) How important is realism and believability to either form. Purpose of an effect. 3.) Had artistry and craft been lost. The process in how FX are made. 4) How do audiences react to either form: opinions, suspension of disbelief, immersion and overall experience between effects. 5) Finally are physical effects still required and can they intersect with CGI today.

Design Practice 3: Assignment 2: Projeted Visuals: Work Submission

Image
Originally designed to be projected on stage behind a local Nottingham Hip-Hop group. The piece is intended to be a collection of abstract visuals, which harbour no identifiable storyline, plot or characters. Basically it was meant to deviate from the conventions of the cliché' rap video, e.g. cars, girls. The Key themes are Mirrors, Death, Time, Energy and Anger.

I used a lot of After Effects and filmed most green screen and live footage using the Canon 7D. This work was also assigned by the Nottingham design agency Urban Angle. Enjoy, Rate and please leave a comment.

Research Project: Artifact 4: SFX Vs VFX Gun Shot Scene

Image
Why am I doing it? To compare and contrast the working pipelines and creative processes of a VFX and SFX under controlled circumstances. Discovering the advantages and disadvantage of either form, through time, budget and levels of skill/automation. How am I doing it? Through the replication of effects in two identical scenes, specifically a gun shot scene concerning  digital wound/blood action vs a physical counterpart. Each process through pre-production to final product will be recorded with a corresponding time and resources taken to complete the task in question. Qualitative data will also be collected from myself personally along the way about how the philosophy and styles of the work differs, drawing upon concepts from my research document when relevant and applicable. Results:  It is to be noted that their was an abundance of 'fast tracks' options for both the SFX and VFX shoots (stock footage, air compressors) however to get as accurate and genuine experience of both ...
