Mentor Feedback:

• Get more product logos visible in SH010
• SH010 shadows need to be softer and longer (look at product photography references from previous weeks)
• Add more bubble variation (size)
• Double check size of hero product in SH050
• Update filler cans in SH050
• Diffuse shadow in ice box
• Ice feels dirty (adjust white values)
• Keep working on camera moves for transitions (make edits simpler, just cut transitions)
• Lighting is too ambient
  • Get more shadows on Peeps
  • Top down lighting in SH040
• Framing too tight in SH010
• Umbrella doesn’t match (possibly remove)
• Add condensation to cans in SH010
• Fix DOF edges
• Add more middleground items in SH020 for more depth
• SH040 is too blue, water feels murky
• Hold on lid close in SH050 & comp logo
• Adjust frame so ice box handle is out of frame
• Add peep pattern to background of live action plates
  • Leaving the background generic looks bad
• Add more items in SH010
  • Empty peep box
  • Peeps on pool floats
• Work on peep lighting & atmospheric perspective
• Add more break up to the ground water
• SH040 water color needs to match previous shots
• Add subsurface scattering to peeps in SH040
• SH050 should only have Peeps x Pepsi cans
  • Or keep the pool tube, remove the cans
• Play with color in comp
  • Bring down the pink and blue to make the yellow stand out more
  • Use still from the Barbie Movie
• Add gradient on ice box in SH020 (mimic sky)
  • Possibly use gobo

Professor Feedback:

• Just get one frame looking good, then use that as reference for the rest of the shot
• Have only 1 person work on a shot so it’s not overwhelming
• At a minimum, get a still frame of our goal to show the mentors in person

Thursday 2/29 (Class 16)

This week our team downsized, which means we now have to learn a lot about compositing. Jerilyn and Tempest have been working on color grading and adding depth of field to our shots while i have been making last minute adjustments to lighting and shaders. My compositing assignment is to get our product logo onto the lid of the ice box in SH050.
