March 21, 2015 : Group Shot
Several scenes in the upcoming project have shots with many characters. I started animating the first such scene. Below is a quick screen grab:
I still need to send the scene to After Effects for additional touch ups – adding some shadows, possible color corrections, and creating some lighting from above to name a few. However, there are a couple things worth commenting on the pic. Firstly, I like the staging of the shot. It is well balanced and serves as a nice establishing sequence for the rest of the scene.
Also of note, working on this sequence showed me the power of my new computer. There are 6 characters in this shot (a character is in the right side of the foreground), and there were no issues working in Lightwave. My previous computer slowed down with 3 or 4. This was definitely validation in my choices for the computer components.
