And LeSean was talking about how he learned composition, to save you watching the video simply he said this: 'I used to just watch all my favorite movies and shows... and pause each shot at the start and at the end, and do thumbnail sketches of these shots. This gave me a great vocabulary to use in my own works' - Or something like that anyway.
Today, I gave this a go with the intro scene from Pulp Fiction... It's always interesting looking deeper at movies and how they're put together, but this is a whole new level of understanding. It's having to look at each element in each shot, draw it, get the scale correct and thus see how it's related to the story and characters. Even if it's just a plate, or a bunch of flowers.
So here's a few pages from my sketch book from this mornings drawings.
Refrigerated update: Turns out shot0001 is missing it's motion vector pass because of maya version issues. So that's part of the reason for me drawing this morning. I had all this energy to composite, and it ended up going no where with having to re render a pass...
Update~! Here's the latest version of shot0001. New Comp, new render, fixed roto etc etc.
Enjoy!
