Extra Credit Ticket- San Jose Film Screening

Here's my Ticket for the San Jose screening at Camera 3. I really liked seeing both of the animated shorts "Enrique Wrecks the World" and "No Robots," but I was also surprised at the quality of the other films. Of the live action films, I think "The Rule of Engagement" was definitely my favorite.

Creating Stereoscopic 3D Images

 I thought it would be interesting to get the moving island to pop out and look 3D, so I chose this scene. I tried to make the microwave the balancing point.

This is perhaps the worst of the three, mostly because I couldn't be the camera person, and my dad didn't understand what I wanted him to do. I pop out of the scene, but everything else looks funny.

Here's the photo I took on campus. It was the first one I did so I'm not so sure how successful it was.

Lighting a Scene in Maya

For my 1 point lighting, or key light, I used a directional light. I liked the moody feel it got, as well as the mystery in the background, so I kept it that way.

For my 2 point lighting, the fill light, I added an ambient light. It is much more dramatic than the example of fill light in Raquel's lecture, but I like the way it illuminates what was once completely in shadow.

Finally for the 3 point lighting, the rim light, I created a point light and put it under the K. I like the effect it created on the water.
