Context

A place could be the stage where a story happens. How the environment interact with characters is also an critical element to support the story, we can utilize our environment in various ways to help us tell the story.

In the CG field, special effect has become a very common element that helps us to save resources or visualize something we might not be able to do in reality. So perhaps we could try to use some special effect with environment. There is a video about some artists experimented special effect in the 1970s. They played with various styles of special effect in different environment .

Method

Wayne and I decide to work together and shoot a short video by using some simple special effect. The place is the corridor outside the studio and we use C4D to make the special effect and combine it with the video in after effect.

Reflection

We found it wasn’t that easy as we expected, the camera wasn’t stable as we hold it with hands. So we have to put it in C4D to track the movement of camera. It is pretty fun when we managed to complete this short video.
