EVOK advertisement spot for OCPS Career & Technical Education
Shot by the Genius dudes @ http://crawfordgroup.tv/, awesome people to work with as well as the EVOK agency.
I participated as the FX Supervisor on set for this Motion Controlled Gag. From
Planning pre-visualizing and shooting with little pipeline troubleshooting.
More details coming soon stay tuned … :)
Motion Control:
I created a move in 3d for pre-visualization purposes using a 3d animatic, this initial setup provided us with some basic look and feel ideas for the spot.
Once on set we decided to customize the move to fit the shooting conditions.
We shot with Red and used a Multiple pass move calculating speed scaling and variable frame rate using a small moco rig similar to the "Panther" allowing moco tilt and pan as well as track control.
After the main shots we did multiple passes for Exposure and Dynamic Range and speed variations as well as BG filler options.
The rig was interfaced with Flare Software for move programming keying and run.
It took about 3 hrs to set up and 5 hrs to shoot, we where out of there before day light.
Welcome
Hello. Welcome and thanks for coming to the best Visual Effects, Motion Graphics, and Design blog in America... LOL.
Poke around make yourself at home and ask any question you like. This community is awesomely giving.
The intention of the site is to promote and contribute to the constantly evolving Visual Effects and Animation industry.
Visual Effects Design & Planning:
Where do I begin? As a Visual Effects Supervisor I encourage our clients to come to me in the development phase of their project so that I can contribute to the possibilities available and hopefully inspire them with examples that shine some light on what’s involved in creating the effects they need so they can make accurate budgets and production schedule decisions. Often times we can catch a few things that can save money without compromising on quality.
Do I need "On-set Visual Effects Supervision"?
Is it 24 or 120 fps?,
Can I move the camera?
Hold on I think you need tracking markers there....
Oops is it green or blue screen... cut, cut we need a blond !!.
Is this reflection OK? or should I do a "TAKE 2" on this one?
Sounds familiar?
Nothing is more important than experience when it comes to making the right call and there's no time to Google your way out of this one...
At Two Door FX, we have 2 VFX Supervisors on staff who are available for the shoots to work directly with the Director and DP to ensure no costly mistakes
are made in the shooting process and that you get exactly the plates you need to composite the effect you are looking for, every time .
