I talked to Diana and Jane, both VFX students, and we decided in grouping together to develop an idea Jane proposed. On our first meeting we gathered references and brainstormed ideas that we wanted to develop and also discussed our strengths and interests. We then decided we would film a place, in order to have a 2D image, and would after insert 3D elements in it.
The main references for the idea were these:
We wanted to film something larger than an specific object, so the idea developed in filming a gallery room, which would have 3D objects placed in it, such as paintings, statues and modern sculptures, with other objects surrounding and moving around it. For the paintings the idea was to have a hand-drawn room that would give a parallax effect whilst the camera move around it.
For the parallax painting effect we used this reference:
Ideally, we would be able to film the space in a real gallery or museum, but since all of them are closed due to the pandemic, we are thinking of other options like modelling the whole sccene in Maya, getting a good stock footage, or filming in a different area.
I tried to come up with a pre visualization of how the gallery would look like, to put all the ideas in one place and sent it to Diana and Jane. I looked after using the predominant colors we have in out references.
