Specialism – VFX Artist
This project showcases the workflow of creating a sci-fi short movie inspired heavily by Blade Runner 2049 (2017). Imitating industry-standard practices and pipelines within the personal project while aiming for collaboration between different artists to create a final piece of work, proves the ability and skills needed to get a place in the VFX industry.
The main goal was to test out and learn new compositing practices and improve the ability to realistically blend multiple elements into one final image. This project touches multiple areas of VFX. Starting with a 3D environment created using the KitBash3D Sci-fi Industrial kit, lighting, and rendering using Maya and Arnold, on-set VFX supervision to acquire footage and plates as needed for the final compositing stage done within the NukeX software.
ACES workflow is implemented into the whole pipeline combining the camera plates with the CG elements while keeping the colour quality and maintaining the pixel information.
While working on this project several custom compositing tools for Nuke were developed to speed up the process.
