The 13th week
During the 13th week of the project I have been working with two major parts of the production; creating geometry in maya (mountains, hills, rocks) , and some preparing for / basic mattepainting. This has taken the most of my time.
Additionally, I have spent some time talking to a friend of mine, who is a musician who has offered his help with adding sound to the final product, he made some audio tracks for the previs clip and it sounded really good! I will return to this topic in future blog entries.
Since I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the timing of the camera animation in the previs clip, I have made some adjustments (only minor changes, the main path of the camera remains the same).
I have also been considering the focal length used in the maya camera, in the previs clip the camera uses 35mm but I will probably change that to a wider angle, so as to get the “Hollywood” big landscape feeling.
