3D Version of Opera Dancer

Samuel Wong, our Technical Director, did a basic silhouette for the opera dancer in 3D.

Test Render

Laura did a simple test render for our final climax shot (mask falling on the ground) to try out the disintegration of the mask.

Disintergration Test with nCloth

Laura did another disintegration test for the opera dancer, this time with ncloth

Props Design Sketches

We did several sketches for the props on the stage. The piece is done by Jenny Chai Yean Lee. 

Previs - Live Action

We were told to shoot a live action pre-vis for our short film in order to lock down on our visual story-telling and camera angles. The opera dancer movements is performed by Samuel Wong, our Techinical Dev of our team.

Environment Sketches

We are focusing more on the intricacy of the stage design, in order to make it stand out compared to the whole environment. The first two designs are done by Tenzing Dhukar Tashi and the bottom two are by Jenny Chai Yean Lee.

First Disintegration Test

Laura Low, our Visual Effects Supervisor, did her first disintegration test on the head for the opera dancer.

Sound Designer Poster

We decided to post up this poster in our university in order to find a soundtrack designer for our film because we felt that music is an important aspect for our film.

Inspiration - Mood and Lighting Piece

Laura Low did this piece to inspire our group to draw more sketches for our group film.

This piece is show the mood and lighting of the environment. In order to allow the opera dancer to stand out, we decided to keep our environment more desaturated.

Audience Sketches

We wanted a more structured and stoic looking personnel for the audience to represent the dull and all-day-working society. We created several sketches inspired by the stone heads and a slender figure for the audience. In order to create surrealism, we wanted all the audience to look similar.

Opera Dancer Sketches

We decided on red as the primary color, and focusing on intricate designs on our character to show vibrancy.

In the end we chose a simpler design as he is an opera dancer that is agile and represents a warrior in a war.
