Third: Light and Mood
These are the most important features for compositor work. To present any intelligent work result, you have to study your lighting very well. Also keep in your mind that the compositing light is the only feature that will tie your layers to be presented as one perfect layer.
My technique at this stage is smaller to the previous stage; the difference is that, I look to the previous stage as pure technical (layers, lots of blends, gradient blends, masks…). In this stage as one image, light, mood impression, story…
Tips:
• Lighting is the first purport means that concluded before any action in the scene
• Lighting is a strong tool that supports the story telling. It should reflect all story or action meanings.
• Lighting should reveal the scene mood, happiness, pessimism, boredom, horror…
Fourth: Retouches
After checking the light, I find that I need to add little enhancements and touches like:
1- Adding the glossiness to the eyes makes it look right.
2- Hiding his hands and legs with darkness.
3- Covering his private area.
4- Adding another foreground as simple effect in front of his left leg to add more depth to the image.
FINAL JUDGEMENT
Once the work has published, we start to prey hoping to get the audience attention and interest. It is the big harvest. As artists and directors we are always trying to implement every aspect, logic and science that could enforce the output to be better, faster and easier to the audience.
Every artwork has a message, philosophy, and story, to cultivate or to entertain. We should not forget that we are working to produce our artworks for the entertainment industry.
Summary
In this making of I talked briefly about a lot of things that we can’t find in other tutorials, where my concentration was about how to think? How to define? How to connect? I hope you’ve enjoyed and found it helpful.
