This past 5-6 years while I was either doing personal work or Uni assignments there are a few questions and topics that interested me and I always wanted to do a bit more research on it or at least learn a bit more of them.
VIRTUAL PRODUCTION – CAMERA TECHNOLOGY
With camera technology, I’m referring to Blade Runner 2049. On the last year of my Bachelor degree, we went on a trip to the VFX Fest in Stuttgart, where I attend a really interesting talk about how they did the camera movement on Blade Runner 2049. It was basically with an Xbox controller, and that choked me and I always wanted to lock more into it.
REAL-TIME RENDERING
There is one video that got me into real-time rendering, Adam: Episode 1. This is an amazing project where everything is rendered in real-time, at any point in time you can pause the video and look around like a videogame, these guys are just amazing and I would love to know more about this technique. You can see the video I’m talking about here.
SFX/VFX/PRACTICAL CREATURE EFFECTS
I don’t really know much about the world of SFX that I like to research more of how they work and how can they be implemented with VFX.
FACE CAPTURE
Face capture technology is evolving really fast , we could put this and real-time rendering together.
MOCK-UP/ PROP MAKING
I would like to research how they work with the mock-ups in movies, for example when they recreate an entire city at a really small scale and then integrate that with real world.
