AVE IDEA

This is the first time to publish blog for AVE here, below will include 7 parts for : ICA requirement, my basic idea, CG environment, characters, objective, research and timeline.

1 ICA requirement

Advanced Visual Effects (AVE) v1.0

ICA Assignment: ‘Cyclops Digital FX showreel’

Main Learning Outcomes

1. Extend the students' 3D visual effects knowledge.

2. Promote the construction of complex and multi-layered 3D visual and special effects.

3. Provide students with an opportunity to create a portfolio of industry standard work that demonstrates that they can complete difficult 3D visual and special effects.

4. Analyse, compare and contrast creative visual production problems.

5. Construct and design appropriate practical methods and solutions to industry acceptable standards.

6. Create imagery as specified in an industry standard brief to achieve a wide range of effects.

7. Appraise work-using language common to the industry.

In Detail:

Create a short piece of complex visual effects work over the course of an academic year between 20-25 seconds in length. You must design a piece of work which shows a person stood, perhaps trapped or struggling above a chasm, a huge hole, lift shaft, or terrifying drop. Work of this kind is featured in everything from pop promos to feature films.

2My basic idea for AVE (storyline)

The story will describes a girl`s beautiful dream, it’s a beautiful emerald dream, for where is an emerald forest, a peaceful, beautiful, harmonious, happy laughter and cheerful voices place. The girl dance, jump, fly, running for freedom and happiness with her swing (like angel`s). But suddenly, the swing is disappearing when the girl is flying play with the spirits. She begins to falling down rapidly, Then the girl wake up scared sit up with the alarm clock goes off. That`s just a beautiful dream.

3Characters

A: the actress for a beauty girl dressing like angel

B: the CG little beauty spirits.

4CG environment

An emerald forest with big trees, beautiful flowers, green lights flash and lots of little spirits. The feel of the forest is peaceful, beautiful, harmonious, happy laughter and cheerful voices place, it will let people feel it is an another world, far away from our life and world.

5Objective and Technical

 I want to make an excellent 3D visual effects work using my imagination and the ability of software use. And improve my ability of problem solved like, concept, technology, and communication and so on. For the software I will use maybe XSI,3DS MAX,VUE,BOUJOU,AE,PREMIRE,NUKE.

6Research

The environment of dream, forest

The tutorials: particles, compositing, vue, nuke, green screen.
