While my previs looks much better now, there’s still a lot of work to be done to make it better.
One of the first changes we considered implementing was moving the spaceship in my establishing shot into the hole. George suggested trying it out and keeping it if it looks good, so I’ll be testing that this week. Next, it’s time to add some lighting to my scene. Lighting is crucial in previs as it helps set the mood, highlights important actions, and enhances the overall visual storytelling.
I’ll start by adding lighting to the two shots below to show the audience that the machine is working correctly. After that, I need to fix the shot of the portals coming in, as one of them still has some abrupt movement. Additionally, I’ll create a magical effect with shaders to emphasize that the portals connect to different multiverses.
One of the critical moments in my previs is when the glitch occurs. George advised adding some red lighting to signal to the viewer that something is wrong. This visual cue will help convey the urgency and danger of the situation.
I’m still working on slowing down Dr. Grey’s movements and giving him enough time to run to the machine. This has been a bit challenging, but it’s essential for the pacing and clarity of the story.
For next week, I’ll focus on these tasks and continue refining my previs.
