 Setting out to create an engaging 3D model for the RA Summer Exhibition 2024 was an ambitious undertaking that required a dynamic blend of technical expertise, creative vision, and iterative refinement. This blog explores the entire procedure, from pre-visualization to final image realisation.

As the reference for this film was movie Gattaca shot in 1967 we were supposed to incorporate some of the camera angles which we successfully did . I was playing the role of director in this project. we had a basic story board ready on the very first day. with little bit of scripts as it was a project with less dialouges we did not spend our times on script. We also wrote sypnosis and treatment for this project. so we had our basic idea of how the film industry works. we learn something by not doing them and some other things by doing them incorrectly.  We edited the movie using Adobe premiere pro and audition as we used combination of both it was comparatively easy to get the work. we Faced a problem in audio . it was not recorded at enough range so we had to improvise using ...
