This kid has too strong and disturbed of an imagination.
Or maybe that's just me.
Here I have made a few billboards as you saw from my last entry. The hands and sheet (background) were done in Photoshop and imported into After Effects. I used only one camera to zoom in on the shadows and one spotlight to cast them.
There are a lot of things I want to change about this, but I have run short on time to get the assignment in (my own fault), so I'll submit this and then correct it later this week to my liking. :) I've been out of town since Friday for a grad school interview/program, so, naturally, nothing got done for school this weekend! And I'd do it tomorrow before class but I just got a job (yay!) that I have to work.
But enough of excuses! For the things I would fix: SOUND EFFECTS. I have a folder full of potential sound effects that I really want to play with, like the sound of a kid laughing, dogs barking, birds squawking, and a monster laughing. And a burp. Like I said, once I get enough time I will mix them all in Logic Pro. I also really hate that little jerk the camera does at the beginning when zooming in, but it just takes so long to render out (this one took about 30 minutes, maybe a little more) that I didn't want to sit through it again. Finally, looking at it now, I would like to experiment with making the sheet a bit transparent and adding one or two low key lights behind it, just to add a little realism. Oh, and the shadows need to be darkened. I can see a bit of the edge of the left hand where I had attached it to the arm.
I really enjoyed this assignment and I'm actually pretty pleased with how mine came out. (I had been scared to death of doing something in 3D!) I gave myself nightmares creating that monster hand. It actually looks kind of like a dragon in its shadow form, but if I were to pull the camera back and let you see what the actual hand looks like when its mutated...it's just terrifying.
And for the record, I don't hate children, I promise.
