Finished Visuals

Surface Visuals...

Finally finished the visuals for Surface, below are some mock ups of some tests..

First meeting with client

After meeting with Jools who will be acting as my client i am happy with the feedback that i received. He is happy with the creature i have made, all though he said i need to start thinking about the live action footage i will be placing my creature into. I have collected a variety of different footage from different areas, some urban environments, and some from rural environments. I like the idea of using footage from an urban environment, but i need to be careful that it fits into the brand's identity. I was also told to think about scale, when filming and decide what size my creature will be in relation to the environment. I like Umeric's work, they have used a large scale for their creature, it takes up most of the live action shot this is probably what i will do. I will upload some stills of the footage i have filmed so far soon...

Client Project

Finished creature, i added some legs which will make it easier to animate.

Client Project

After my first meeting with my client i have decided to start thinkng about my composited enviroment in more depth, i have alot of film from possible locations but now i need to think about scale. I have taken some stills from some of my live action material and i have tried to fit my creature in some enviroments, i have been worried about using urban enviroments as live action footage as it does not keep with the Swarvoski brand, but with the use of filters, i could make something urban look more sophisticated. I have created some photoshop mock-ups of what i could use.

Artifact 2

I have made some adjustments to the darkness of the dispersed liquid, which i believe takes away from the realism in the final piece. I have also experimented with adding a new lighter layer over the original Surface logo, this adds more depth to the final piece. Below you can see this in the images -
