SCAD VSFX x Harbor NY (Week 2)

Tuesday 1/16 (Class 3)

Pitch proposals! Team Life proposed a Pepsi x Peeps collaboration ad.

Mentor Feedback:

Very graphic, motion media look
Live action shot should be as graphic as possible (as to not clash)
Make the camera move in shot 01 much subtler
The brown color of the soda is a concern (try adding lens flares, lights, or more bubbles to make it more appealing)
Maintaining the color saturation of the peeps in the soda is also a concern
60% of the frame needs to have the vibrant color
Try to scale down the scope of the ad
Get a better transition from shot 03 to 04
Start on lighting ASAP
Dry ice with the color palette coming out of ice box
Splash/bubbles should be the main FX
Simplify shot 01
Light from the disco ball can change the color of the soda

Professor Feedback:

Avoid green screen comp if possible
Don’t end presentation on text!!
Talk through pre vis
Get 3D pre vis for next class

Thursday 1/18 (Class 4)

Work day. Got our story more solidified and got further with pre vis. I UV’d our peeps the Tempest modeled and rigged them today. now I am working on texturing them. Their sugary coating is going to be a challenge to get just right. So far, not much luck. I’m hoping to work with Jerilyn to get this looking better.
