Week 28: Going Live - Progression of Ink Reveal

Just a wee progression of the ink reveal using the diffuse ink layer and the sunlight layer.

After my last tests, Tom suggested I have the ink look more watery/blurry as it appeared and to add a sort of ink wave to enhance the unveiling of the drawn map elements.

Holiday Shmoliday: Going Live - Ink Reveal with Rendered Layers

So, After I managed to have a rendering malfunction on the scene and it had to be sent of for a re-render, I used some of the existing layers to try out the inky/water colour reveal on the (what should have been) final renders of the shot.

After making a couple of mattes for the reveal, I tested the scattered-reveal first.

This was a more of a sweeping-reveal and was the preferred version for the director.

Week 18: Going Live - Water Colour Test

The group and I have been discussing the effect of the revealing of the map elements at the beginning of the film and how we should best approach this.

In the beginning, I considered the lines appearing as though they were being drawn on. However, with time being so short, that effect would be very rushed.

The director, happened across my water-colour effects for Sheng's film 'Once For A Whole Day' and thought that a similar effect for the ink-reveal would be the best option. It would still be a stylistic unveiling of the map features, in tone with the paper-theme we are creating, but would allow us to carry out the reveal much quicker.
