For this last project we did I was a little surprised because we got quite a
bit of time to do it. The project was to have Skippy go through an obstacle
course. We got the project Friday and it isn't due until tomorrow (Wednesday)
morning at 8am. That’s about 4 days for a project that could technically be
done in a day. However, out instructor had a meeting in LA with the director of
the school along with the academic director to talk to a studio that does
Pre-vis.
Brief description of Pre-Vis. Basically it’s an unrendered animation that
directors will have made so that they can view and adjust camera angles and
timing of a shot before the final shot is made in real-time. So when it comes
time for the real shot to be, well shot, or rendered, the camera angles and timing
are already all figured out. I put some exaples below with the previs being on the left and the final shot on the right.
Now back to the obstacle course. Skippy had to go over four items; stairs, a
cube, a ladder, and a fourth item that we could create. I decided to do
something on the simpler side and made him go through some tiers.
