Invasion Sheffield VFX Project

| VLight98

How did you feel the whole project went?
It went well.
Does your final video look and feel professional?
Yes.
Comment on the success of any particular techniques you have tried.
Were there any major issues or hiccups along the way?
Yes, it was a bit challenging trying to mask out parts of the video files to make it look perfect, especially on my Invasion of the Water Pokémon.
Were the visual elements you created fit for purpose?
Yes.
If you were to redo the project, would you change any parts?
I would make the Pokémon actually move parts of their body, just like in animated characters in live-action/animated hybrid movies and TV shows and the Pokémon in Pokémon Go, Pokémon: Let’s Go! Pikachu/Eevee and Pokémon: Detective Pikachu.

Pre-production
Animation plan: The Pokémon will appear in parts of Sheffield to do shenanigans like flying. In The Invasion of Emolga, a flying Emolga appears outside of Hillsborough College. In The Invasion of Water Pokémon, a group of Squirtle, Mudkip and Azumarill magically slide in front a bus stop. It will be entertaining when you see it.

Production: I produced a decent production schedule highlighting

Risk assessment: The first short was just a pre-recorded file from John. In the second short, there was a low risk filming the bus stop but the risk would have been higher if I wasn’t careful as it was near a busy street.

Equipment list: Just a modern HD camera.

Progress Action

  1. Which steps of the project do you need to still complete/add more to?

I need to complete the animation design, storyboard, risk assessment and equipment.

  1. What grade are you aiming for?

I am aiming for a Merit/Distinction.

  1. Looking at the table, what areas do you need to work on to meet that grade?

In order to get a merit for my VFX project by the end of project/next week, I need to complete all of the pre-production documents and most of the production.
