Final Video.

WEEK 3

Green screen and Keying.

We had never before filmed in a green screen studio. We learn a lot about how the camera operates, how to shoot for the best lighting and results, as well as what precautions should be taken when shooting green screen. We captured some really excellent video, which we edited in After Effects to look like the opening titles of classic James Bond films. The results are quite great considering I’ve never used after effects before, but this exercise gave me a solid understanding of the software and how it works.

WEEK 7 & 8

Introduction to Photogrammetry.

Using the Foldio portable studio, we begin this session by photographing objects in a circular motion from top to bottom. After assembling everything, we took 24 photos in three rounds, top to bottom. The process was later continued after we turned the pictures into a textural using Agisoft Metashape after importing the data there. We had to bring it into May and apply it to a little model because it was simply a texture before applying UV.
