Test: Depth Contrast, Perspective

New test. This tests are to help try new ideas and develop clear communication to what SCUBA might finally look like. The final composition does not have to look exactly like this, but rather these provide a base to explore more (I don't want to micro manage Chad's compositions). This is a quick sketch piece done in pencil, entitled:

"RE: Purple Yellow Landscape."
-The never-ending horizon isn't working with me. It makes the eye of the camera seem perched too high up, making a straight profile of the swimmers out of perspective. This new approach sticks closer to the ground, thus creating a shallower horizon.
-Also the levels, the Dutch Master's approach (going from dark and fading to light) works well for LANDscapes, but I think we need the inverse for underwater. This will also allow us to more easily create the wall of bubbles (quick visibility fall-off as seen in below picture with sea horse) if we want to.

Notes:
-There are two swimmers, one is green and one is magenta (though they are the same drawing)




I will post more later on the use of painted concrete 3D models for in this shot.

  1. eddy, a DVD with some of the alpha'ed swimmers as .mov's is in the post. expect it within a week or so.

  2. If you would like, you could simply put low-grade video of the swimming, just so that we have an idea of what pieces we are working with.
