Shotsheet and previz for the project


A shot sheet gives me a list of shots from which to choose to illustrate story.  It allows me to visualize the story in such a way as to use the video in the most effective way.  It also allows me to breakdown the visual effects shot involved. Each shot has its own technical difficulty.


Digital previsualization is merely technology applied to the visual plan for a motion picture. I used Pre-visualization (also known as pre-vis, pre vis, pre viz, pre-viz, previs, or animatics) to describe the storyboard in which digital technology aids the planning and efficiency of shot creation during the filmmaking process.

Storyboard for the project. Basically the story is about a logo which transform into a Formula One car and zoom by different area of the city. As it pass by one person, the speed of it shatter the glass of his spec. Shattering of glass on building can be seen when the car passes by. Both shots require dynamics and particles effects.

Green screen elements for the talents has been shot on 3rd June. Here's the basic setup of the studio.


And here's the greenscreen setup.


For those who are familiar with cinematography, proper greenscreen exposure should be 1/4 stop. And to get maximum saturation, the IRE level on a waveform monitor and vectorscope should be about IRE55. On a RED Epic camera, which has 12bit resolution and full chroma sub sampling, the color temperature can be controlled in post using metadata. I used daylight balanced kino-flo for actors and tungsten for back light. Some of the shots are filmed at 300 frames per second, so the lights really plays a part.
