3DMattePainting with Oowen
I met up with Oowen at a chinese new year gathering last January (year 3 photography student) and spoke about possible collaborations. I proposed the idea of moving image using his landscape photos and we decided to go for 3D Matte painting. The look that we aimed for was utopian-fantasy-esque and after reviewing his travel photos, I found that the shots from Scottland and Iceland was the best fit for this project.
It is still work in progress as I am still figuring ways to properly composed the elements in shot nicely. With the help of this tutorial from pluralsight {https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/animating-mountain-scene-matte-painting-photoshop-nuke-1453/table-of-contents), I'm able to work efficiently with the non-destructive pipeline.
These images will then be brought in Maya for camera projection on each plates to give better depths and parallax effect. Final comp will be done in Nuke.

This will definitely be more challenging than my flatpack work back in year 1. I will need to justify Oowen's photos with the composition. Pressure's on me. References;
