For the past couple of days, we have been doing some simple visual tests with the projector, all captured on camera. Here's some frames from the video, soon we'll put a few edited clips on here!
This test was for one actor to lift a watering can and pour water over the other actor. The 'wet' actor would then shake off. Like a dawwg.
The watering can and the pouring water were digitally painted, then given some rough movement in AFX. The head shake water was made with one of the particle systems.
During our testing we have been trying different ways to use colour, brightness and composition. For this test, we created both a black and a white version - there are pros and cons of both, see for yourself. Whilst we both like the white version, we think that being able to create lighting effects and composition with the black background is more ideal. There will be few times in our final project when the lighting is quite as minimal as this, however.
After seeing the results, we have noted the following things to amend for the next test:
Decrease brightness of, enlarge and lower spotlights, also increase blurriness of spotlights, decrease opacity of watering can (it was so bright that the camera received it as orange instead of red when using black background), make watering can animation a bit smoother to help actor move with it.
Next test coming soon...
