Day 1 to 3

Day 1

We sat down to discuss our genre for the short film. Initially we wanted to do a short film but then we went for more of a trailer theme. We also decided to continue the idea from our previous studio project. The idea was that the aliens were invading earth. We went to find more reference on the net. We followed a few movies like Skyline, Battle Los Angeles, Transformers and District 9. After approving the idea from Mr Pang our supervisor we went on to create images of how our shots will turn out. We decided to photoshop the pictures out instead of drawing them. These were how our images looked like.

 

Day 2

After getting our images approved we went out to shoot. We went over to esplanade by the bay to shoot. Our idea for the first shot was that aliens will be coming out from the water. We also shot our 3rd shot beside esplanade. The idea was that f-16 planes were to shoot down an alien ship.Then we went over to the pinnacle at duxton to shoot our 2nd shot. We needed the view of the cityscape, so for this we went up all the way to the 50th floor. We managed to take alot of shots up there.

Day 3

For today we started testing out our shots. Me and Darren went to the net to find models of mother ships. We managed to find 1 which looked roughly like the 1 in District 9.

We will start our texturing tomorrow. After that i went on to try out the matching moving for the 2nd shot. The problem we faced was interlacing. We are still trying to figure out how to fix the problem. I managed to match move the 2nd shot and tried adding cg reference models in it.
