Final

We're still working on finalizing it in widescreen, which should be up by Tuesday.

Artist statement: Our group used a highly digitalized and somewhat humorous game to illustrate a serious scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

What I did: I mostly worked on the post production part of the project. I helped with the initial selection of the clip and continued to help with the ideas and directions circulating the project. I cropped in photoshop to help combine several of the screen shotted images. I worked on the vibrating animation of Hal and definitely worked on trial and error light editing on Hal. The final video has lighting shapes produced by Serina and flashing effects done by me. I also added the headlights for the pods. I added the video to youtube and did the final editing after we, as a group finalized the clips and matched them up to the audio.

Update for 2001: A Space Odyssey

Still working with the vibration for Hal, it's working and is subtle enough hopefully, I personally think it came out a bit too vicious. I messed with the tone and glow of him but haven't figured out a good way for making the reflections on him.

Here is a quick idea for lighting on Dave, may seek out other options though.

In addition, here is lighting added to the pod.

In class, we will be working on the green screen for Dave, continuing the color construction for the pods and extracting the right audio from the movie.

2/5/13 Update The Space Odyssey

Overall our group has worked on the models for the space ships, rooms in our scene. Serina has done a majority of the modeling. Riiev worked on Hal. I have been looking into video editing and some of the effects we will need for completing the final product. I got a decent grasp on what Final Cut Pro has to offer. I added some vibration to Hal to try and get the slight movement he has when speaking. I want to look into other video editing programs, though, because I want more than I seem to be getting with final cut. This week I want to seek out better alternatives for getting Hal seemingly moving when speaking and get lights on the spaceman correct. I will also hopefully be working more with Minecraft and adding colors to the preexisting space ships. Erin
