Studio II
A Breakdown of my Studio II project at SCAD.
STUDIO II
For my Studio II project at SCAD we decided to make a criticism about gun possession. The concept of this project is to make it look like it's ordinary to carry guns anywhere you go. We wanted to record footage all around the city and composite CG weapons onto people. I've been contributing to this project as both a compositor and a look development artist. In the early stages I started modeling a Glock-19 handgun, then moved onto UVing and texturing, as well as lighting and compositing it into the footage we recorded. We were also provided a Kel-Tec handgun model by Stephen Mok, who's a very talented artist in our group. Check out his content here: https://themokintosh.com/ . He sent over the model to me so that I can make it suitable for our postproduction process. Here's a LookDev rig of it rendered in Maya, Arnold:
So we had one great CG gun for our edit, but to have variety I worked on modeling the Glock-19, and this is how it turned out with the wireframe:
After that I moved on to UVing, and in the meantime we also recorded our live-action footage. I was responsible for directing and supervising some of the shoots and record the HDRI photography for most of them.
