Homework for 3/30/23

Download this ZIP and use a selection of the footage files within to create a 3D environment that includes walls, groundcover, and other elements to depict an urban scene with mutliple layers of detai. Add aditional footage files as needed.

Use After Effect's 3D switches to turn Layers into 3D assets and transform each of them to sit into a virtual city street "backlot." Turn on the properties of at least one layer to cast shadows onto a separate layer. Use Photoshop to silhouette elements as needed and to create walls that have doors and windows that can opened or be seen through. Add at least one Ambient Light, 1 spot light, and introduce one Camera. Animate the Camera to move the viewer through a 10 second tour of the scene.

(Remember that both the Camera and the Camera's Point of Interest can be animated separately to change the angle of the shot.)

Render as a 1080p mp4 and upload to your Vimeo page by the beginning of next week's class.
