Project 1

Week 3 continue adjust the story board and make previs shot in Maya

1. Add camera shake:

For the beginning of the shot, I would like to start with a news broadcast in a building, It shows a scene where the protagonist steals the gene ball from the biotech company. Then, several police cars drive past the front of the building. George suggested that I could add some camera shake since in many sci-fi movies, the airflow generated by large flying vehicles causes the camera to shake.

2.Adjust the time and speed of the shot:

Since I didn’t plan very well at the beginning, some shots were longer while others were over in a second, and I needed to go and balance the timing of the shots.

like in this shot below. It was hard because there were some fast action shots like the police driving by and if I increased the duration it would cause the police cars to move too slow, so I needed to go and increase the animation lines of each police car so that their routes weren’t straight and have some of the police cars leave first and have some of the police cars leave later.

Also, I need to pay attention to the sense of interaction between the police car and the camera, for example in this shot my police car is moving forward, George suggested I make the police car face the camera to appear to be chasing the protagonist.

3. Attention to move curves

George suggested that I should focus on the curve of the motion of the fly equipment, not making it too straight, and work with some camera movement.

This is the shot I modified, I adjust the movement curve and camera move, delay camera movement about 2-3 key frames after the character move.
