Here is some of my favorite sequences

 

The sequence is from a  Theodore Ushev is a Bulgarian animator, film director and screenwriter based in Montreal. He is best known for his work at the National Film Board of Canada, including the 2016 animated short Blind Vaysha, which was nominated for an Academy Award. He is a Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres of France.

I had a chance to be on one of his 3 days masterclasses about animation.

 

This is my second sequence choise that inspires me and it’s amazing

 

In the beginign of this semester we started with AE , here is some fun sequence I made for JB

 

learning the animation ( dr.No sequence inspired circles)

 

Homework :

Recreate Dr. No Sequence

 

as a homework I have recreated the same sequence they use in Dr.no movie

 

Week 2:   Learning about modes and alpha in AE – we learned about masking and adding alphas

 

we have started to lean about alpha in AE

Having some fun with masks and alphas :

 

task with a skull and James bond on fire

 

Homework:   villain sequence

 

WEEK 4: Green Screen

and created a sequence adding circles and effects

as we used the greenscreen to remove the background , making the alpha like a shadow.

 

WEEK 5 : Different trackers

tracker1: with a tracker tracing the motion of the camera we attached a label that stays on 1 of the picramides , also we can have as many we need , tracked to different objects

 

2 mask and face tracker – with a mask an face tracker we can use some effects on top of it like we did with stylize Mosaic here.

3. camera and text tracking

 

 

 

4 perspective tracker

 

5 corner pin:

homework:

 

Week 6: 3d in Ae

Rendering UVS and adding the exr back to compositing software in this case AE:

we can use crypto assets:

 

homework:

 

Assessment 1 : Showreel

——————————————————————————————————————–

——————————————————————————————————————–

 

 

Week 7:

z-depth Aovs and ACES- colors

Week 8: Physics in Maya

 

 

Week 9: N-cloth

we leaned about n-cloths , and how to make flag and I have some experiments at home with airbags as well

HOMEWORK: N-CLOTHES AND PARTICLES

Week 10: Green Screen and homework

Week 11: Fluids

2D Background

3D Container

 

week 13:  Nuke Presentation

We had a nuke presentation with James

here is a small comp that I have done

 

Bond Sequence ( Inspired by Japanese movies – and mind ideas )

 

before I start to make the sequence I have also researched more about sequences and those was for my inspiration

in the first shot I have used greenscreen removing the background and taking the alpha from the queen, made some solids and animated them to the music , also a cat mask with saturation  was added to represent who the queen is

added some extra to make the shot more dynamic – the animated blur line and glitches

used a particle  created random sizes particles system in Maya and Arnold standard surface as a gold, also a vortex, and camera movement

same shot just color corrected to match the water after that

another animated blur line

alpha from the green screens that we made in class blended with the water stock video

stock video of a tv with a roto mask to add the saturated version of the cat mask and the vortex particles on the screen

alpha of the fire (stock) , alpha of the phoenix statue with s blur glitch transition to the greenscreen alpha (colorcorected in black and white to match the style of the title sequence and pop up the other colours)

also a japan text on the bottom with a movement

took a alpha on a japan building from Maya object, changed the color of the alpha to red,  green screen of the footage made at school sliding as presenting the new character , and a symbols on the bottom

same style (red and white alphas) mask of a cat blended to the red alpha, I have also created bullets in maya and used them as an alpha so they shoot from the gun, and destroyed the alpha with a shatter effect , also blended the colour so it changes more to light at the end

 

may phisyc animation of opening doors and water balls as a airbags , blended with a stock of a grain  old movie

the continuation of this shot as the airbags drop down

when one of the balls is damaged we can see change of the stairs material and depth from the background

stock footage

greenscreen alpha, color black  and white to match the style, and a stock alpha of leaves

 

I decided to use a stop motion video that I have done in visual narratives (photography) to make the ending of the title sequence make more sense and end with a kiss

stock elements and hart shape alpha added

bullet from Maya (alpha) fly thru the scene

 

This is how I made the animations for the sequence I have used Maya and different techniques we learned in physics (ncloth – bullets – particles and mashes)

this is the bullet I have from Maya

MASH of diamonds created for the sequence , with a HDRI of a sky to match the birds

airbags animation

the shatter effect in AE

this is a screen of how I have done the vortex particles

maya – building alpha – took the building model from scetchfab

 

also done a screen grabs from webpage and used luminance keying to remove the white background.

 

 

for music I have used :

Spying On You  – from Evanto
