MS3 The Art of Mood Setting Agneta Åkerlund

Production The Work: Textured the scene in two different texture styles, one realistic and one unrealistic. 8 different sets of light. Rendering Compositing Cutting the movie Sound

Post Mortem Primary Goal: Deliver deliver a small piece of film with clips showing mood set in an environment textured for a) an unrealistic/painted impression and b) for a realistic impression and while doing this gain better understanding and control of the tools related to lighting and rendering within Maya and also gain some more experience with working in a compositing software (in this case Fusion). Result: Finished on time Become faster in my work and have learnt a few tricks along the way.

Secondary Goal: To become more advanced in my work surrounding light and gain better awareness on the subtle differences in light and textures when applying different moods. Result: Became the most important goal in the end Have gained in awareness and in understanding on how mood, light and colour work together Post Mortem

Evaluation: Summary: The goals for this project were achieved. The Project got smaller smaller during the process. Mood Setting overall went smoothly although I could have taken them to an even more extreme in some cases. The realistically textured material went smoothly. The ”unrealistically” textured material could have been researched better which would have led to a better result. Too much ambition.

What would I do differently? Less ambition. Would have researched more surrounding unrealistic texture styles and so taken it to a higher level. Focused on mood altogether and not include texture style as a factor in the project. This would have given the opportunity to go even deeper into the subject of lighting and mood setting which where my primary subjects of interest. Evaluation:
