Beginning of Filming and Look Development Light Rig Part 2

Today my team and I all went to the kitchen of Jared’s girlfriend to film. We took many shots, both with the toy car for reference and without it, for clean plates. Below shows my edit of all of the footage we shot. It includes a mixture of shots with the toy and clean shots; we’re definitely going to have to redo some shots. But this is the basic composition and layout that I thought worked best out of what we shot. Keep in mind that we shot this in log, so the color is flat. I did not color correct in Da Vinci yet, like Luke said to, because I’m a bit unsure about how to do it. However, I hope Luke will show me, and then the above cut will have actually decent colors.

When we went there, we saw that Jared had tiny birthday hats from his birthday a few days ago! We thought it would be cute to use those, and scattered them throughout the scene, along with cake mix. We decided this would add a new element to the story-that the driver (the white bear at 00:18) is going to his birthday party!

I also updated my light rig. I tweaked the existing textures, and textured the interior of the car as well. The current HDR is one from the kitchen we shot in today. Unfortunately, I still can’t seem to correctly texture the headlights and break lights though. (Please keep in mind that the flash/glitch at 00:05 is a watermark saying “arnold”. I guess SCAD’s Renderfarm renders with that now?) I included a material quilt as well, with every texture on my car. Below is what the HDR looks like:
