THIS IS PATH OF SAND, OUR GRADUATION PROJECT, A 2 MIN SHORT FILM PRODUCED BY A TEAM OF 15 PEOPLE. PLEASE, KEEP IN MIND THAT THE WORK POSTED HERE IS CURRENTLY IN WIP. UPDATES WILL BE COMING SOON.
LIGHTING
As lighting lead I was in charge of the light design for the project and I was tasked with creating the general mood for the piece. I started by creating two of the master lightings, from which most of the shots of one of the sequences derived.
I was also in charge of lighting several production, key and unique shots on top of supervising the work of the other artist so all the shots would match. Lastly I was given the task of doing the compositing for most of the shots of one of he main sequences.
CHARACTER MODELING
One of the other roles I had in the project was modelling the main character: Ekko.
The sculpt for the character was done using Zbrush with some minor details modelled in Maya. The goal was to give the character a very stylized look with not many details. The character went through many iterations until we found a balanced combination of silhouette, volume and details that satisfied us.
