The Environment: More Fog Designs

The fog is an important feature of the environment that appears in majority of the scenes and for that reason more designs were required.

The Erlking: Pre-Viz Draft.01

Below is the draft.01 of the pre-viz. The soundtrack and all SFX have not been changed since the final version of the animatic, but that change is on the to-do list. PG blocked out all the scenes, I only put them together. There are still things to be fixed within the models (blendshapes, rivets) of which we are aware of, but for the pre-viz we left them faulty, for which we apologize. 

TO-DO LIST: 

00:00 - 00:07 
* scene needs to be a little bit longer for the title to fade in and fade out
* the horse needs to be bigger
* the environment needs to be calmed down (that issue reoccurs in other shots as well)

00:07 - 00:10 
* adjusting the shot so the horse's head does not appear in the scene, only its legs (possible change, to be tested out)

00:10 - 00:26 
* instead of a cut from the Son to the Father, possibly a camera pan (possible change, to be tested out)

00:26 - 00:36
* adjusting the angle of the camera to a front view

00:43 - 00:46 
* adjusting the angle of the camera to a lower view, so the Erlking feels more royal and powerful

01:03 - 01:07
* the Father character more centered
* sort out the lip rivets problem

01:08 - 01:12 
* hold the shot for a little bit to establish the Erlking's appearance

01:13 - 01:18
* the fog enters and leaves the shot as a guide from the Son's to the Erlking's shots

01:19 - 01:30
* the Daughters rising up & dancing around the Son as one, continuous shot with a slow zoom out in the beginning to make space for the dancing sequence

01:30 - 01:35
* a cut from the dancing to the Son's close up scene

The Forest of Two Daughters - Developing the Set .01

Figuring out and developing the Forest of Two Daughters set will help and speed up the future post production process that will be applied to other sets.

1. Lighting

2. Fog

3. Luminance Depth/Depth of Field Pass Test (to be corrected)

4. Further Development in Maya and After Effects (to be continued)

5. ...and also this psychodelic image that got accidently created:
