Devlopment for Creative Practice Hand-In Video

Okay so this is the video i am handing in for devleopment for creative practice, excpet its in 720p not SD WS i have the same video just scaled down for the actual hand-in. There ar enotes below about the little problems and such:



As in my notes theres a few things i don't like, mostly are caused by render times being so high i cannot fix them in time.
Firsly, theres the jump at the start of the animation, my render crashed on me first tiem roudn and i somehow chnged the camera angle of the shot. I have treid rendering the first 10 frames again but i cannto match the camera angle, and i have no tiem to re -render as it took 3 solid days to render.
The second is the lack of light on the character. I like the start and the lighting on him as he steps foward and he goes inot shadow, but i think i will setup a new light further for him to step into again  further down the corridor in my final CMP render.
Theres also alot of re -texturing to do, once i can get my hands on some texturign help, part of the problems is my uv's too i cna unrwap but not well enough. Any help on these is appricated.
Finally i would like to add some extra bells and whilstles, I htoguht of light rays through the bars of the prison window on the P.O.V shots just to add some extra visual stimulation.ALso bear in mind sound isn't done yet, and there will be a guard ovice to try and explain the shot further.

Intro Grey scale rough

I have bene testing my renders and they are taking forever! Roughly 10 mins a frame in some cases. As a security measure i have rendered a greyscale version using a lambert shader on all objects in Standard Definition WideScreen just in case. This is a single layer render. No ambient occlusion, shadow, dof or glow layers are included in this render.

Intro Test Renders

 These tests shwo the first 2 seconds of my intro rendered and complied in After Effects. Here i am using a number of techniques i have been experimenting with. There is 4 render layers. MasterLayer, Glow, AO, DOF, i am also experiementing with shadow layers to enchnace soem of the shadows, when the character com in contact wiht the floor.

I prefer the video with DOF, and AO layers, as i think it adds a bit more style to the scene.
