Compositing & Special Effects.
Week 1.
Today in class we were given a sticky notes, divided by few group and our task is to find any cinematic intro for each one of us. Study and discuss in a group for our finding. Our Objective is basically to look for any element that is related to composition & special effects. I choose the cinematic intro for Daredevil Netflix TV series.
Here are the findings that i found from this cinematic intro :
The findings for this activity :
PROJECT 1 (Opening Title Sequence).
Research :
For assignment 1, we were task to do a 30 minute Opening Credits and the theme related to Technological Impact on human nature. I decided to choose a TV series name Black Mirror. The TV series is a science fiction anthology television series created by Charlie Brooker, with Brooker and Annabel Jones.
It examines modern society, particularly with regard to the unanticipated consequences of new technologies. Episodes are standalone, usually set in an alternative present or the near future, often with a dark and satirical tone, though some are more experimental and lighter.
Here are few inspiration that i found throughout :
Mood Board Theme base on the TV Series Black Mirror :
From the 1st idea, i decided to combine with Double effects style from the True Detective Opening Credit.
Here are the frame by frame analysis by Art of the Titles.
After a few trial, i decided to mix up a little with one of the unique opening tittle, Dark.
I was really impress with the concept of using Kaleidoscope, so i decide to used this as my concept and mix up with a Glitch technology theme.
Here a some of the mood color and reference that i found.
The Storyboard after process of inspiration :
1st Draft after using the existing footage and applying the Kaleidoscope effect, And finally to used as the background.
Week 4.
Idea Progression :
More additional inspiration to support my idea of using the 3D camera effect. Bellow are the scene from the Movie, Doctor Strange and the last one is from the movie called Inception.
Music that i choose for my Opening Credit. Only the 1st 60 second of this audio will be using :
Week 5.
Progression :
Below are the progression from title, first draft and the final :
The theme for this 1st assignment is play around the mirror with the mixture of kaleidoscope. Another element that i used is the glitch effects to showcase the horror of how technology can affect human life in a different way. Minimalist is the direction that i choose throughout the opening credit scene due to the kaleidoscope effect. Bellow are the final outcome :
Final Outcome :
PROJECT 2 ( Matte painting and Visual Effects)
To create Matte Painting on 30-40 seconds live footage. Footages need to be shot by individuals or picked from Royalty free stock video footage and implementation of visual effects that will enhance the shot. Colour grading and layers are important. Final footage must be believable, Must be relative to story, theme, genre and target audience selected.
Here are some tutorial video shared by our lecture :
For this project 2, i decided to stick with the final project idea, which is a post apocalyptic scenery. Reason i stick with this idea is to train my Matte painting skills to prepared for final. Below are the mood board and inspiration that i found throughout :
After produce 10 ideas, i decided to choose one of the idea which is highlighted in orange. Bellow are the outcome from thumbnail to finalized. The outcome is produce by mixture of photo.
Final outcome :
Below is another 2 final outcome scene.
Progression on the Motion composition (After Effects) :
The 1st draft for Project 2 Composition. The only problem while doing the composition on After Effects software is that we can't really tell the final result as the software it self is using a lot of processing power as result we can only see the preview on the low quality as possible. This is the reason i decided to render out the footage to see the result. There is a lot of room for improvement but overall i can see the final output.
Progression Project 2 :
FINAL OUTPUT :
Expressive Motion Graphic Short (FINAL PROJECT).
Progress :
For the 1st video,it's a short documentary relating to an idea about what post apocalyptic world would look like. This give me a foundation of what would my final project would look like.
For the 2nd video,it's a trailer from the movie called The Book of Eli. The movie is based around the world after an Apocalyptic already done. Only the remain human live and trying to survive without any rules. This movie give me the setting and color palettes.
And finally for my 3rd reference is Blade Runner 2049. A very well inspiration to mix up the initial idea of a world with apocalyptic world environment.
Progression Final :
Visual Idea for references :
Concept Art from the video game The Last of Us :
Sample of before and after Apocalypse idea :
Sample of costume :
Progression for the Final Project. (Story Board) :
I decided to stick with the final project idea by using the project 2 file, which is a post apocalyptic scenery. Below are the inspiration that i collect from the 2 movie that i used for references :
Bellow are the final storyboard. So far only 3 scene is finalized by matte painting :

FINAL PROGRESSION *(NEW)
As inform by our lecture, Mr. Kanan that for our final, we are allow to do any form of motion graphic as long as is represent and still stick with the them of Technological Impact towards human being. So i decided to re-new my idea for final. I was thinking to do a motion graphic such as opening title that is base on Abstract them. Idea will be improvise along the way through final. Here are some of my inspiration :
Here are all the list of inspiration for my final *will be finalized soon. And the 2 final video is where the direction i will go and the choice of music that i will choose. The most important element in my final is the beat and rhythm that will be highlighted.
After consultation with the lecturer, Mr.Kanan narrow down my idea to smaller scope since my rough idea and direction is to compose a game experience-ish journey from the classic to the current Virtual Reality games. Mr.Kanan suggest to me that maybe i can create a motion graphic that is for game event opening. After a few ideas and suggestion, i can see my idea and direction clearly now. Bellow are the few inspiration and ideas that i found mainly from Vimeo :
For the song choice i decide to find an upbeat rhythm song. Bellow are 2 choices, and the 1st one will be my song choice :
Mood Board :
Heavily inspired by the abstract of technology element, vivid colors and video game element.
Thumbnail/ 1st draft Story Board :
After a few round of brainstorming and discussion, i decided to used back the idea of Virtual Reality
games experiences trailer and it's heavily inspired by the pixel art games and the madness of arcade games where's the environment is loud and noisy with vivid light all around. Bellow are some picture inspiration :
And for the music, i decided to find a new one since the previous one is slow tempo and the new i need something that is heavy beat with a little fast pace rythm. Bellow are the song :
From here, i decided to divided by trailer into 5 section. The reason behind this is easily organized the files and sequences and also at the same time helps a lot with the editing section. Bellow are the image that capture during the draft stages :
And finally the final outcome :

- For the matte painting process we need to create at least 10 black and white thumbnails and 1 Finalized with color and proper lighting.
- The reason behind the black and white is to train our eyes to see how the lighting effect the space for example depth and distance.
- And for the final we can produce a 100% process from scratch by painting or we can do some photo manipulation.
After produce 10 ideas, i decided to choose one of the idea which is highlighted in orange. Bellow are the outcome from thumbnail to finalized. The outcome is produce by mixture of photo.
