Innovations
In this project I research and develop techniques used to create two very different effects shots involving fire. The first is a trail of petrol being lit at one end, with the petrol subsequently burning down the trail. The second is the resulting explosion of a car at the end of the trail. This report follows my work from the research stage, right through to the final results.
2D and 3D computer graphics and Live-Action Visual Effects
Discussed in this report, is the relationship between 2D and 3D computer graphics during the production of live-action visual effects. An investigation will take place to analyse the similarities and differences between these two categories. I will explore how passing information, specifically depth map imagery, from 3D to 2D graphics effects the pipleline. Emphasisi will then be placed on evaluating the uses, importance and methods of capturing depth information in order to achieve believable integration between computer generated imagery and live-action footage.
