I attended a few seminars this week on my degree project. I knew exactly what needed to be done. I stopped by the level 5 session to speak with an instructor who is very knowledgeable about the Unreal Engine. I discussed my thoughts and viewpoints with him and showed him my old blog. I have been examining the Unreal Engine tutorials. Since this is my degree project and I can't afford to make any mistakes that could affect my deadline, I was concerned if this project was too ambitious for me and if should I devote more time to other modules.  Is this project idea and project feasible? was the initial query. Fortunately, the Unreal engine provides a large selection of objects and simple nod-based change, making this viable. I could finish it in the allotted time. We can even buy and utilise things like plugins for Unreal Engine online, and they will function flawlessly.  After that, the question became whether I could dolly and animate a camera in any way I wanted to, as my goal...

Thus, the summer is over and school has resumed. Do you know what you're going to make for your degree project? was the first query. I remained silent, but I knew exactly what I wanted to try and create. The entire summer, I had in the back of my mind what I ought to cook. However, I was clear on VR after receiving really favourable feedback. I was ready to work over my comfort zone in VR and create a work of art that would wow viewers. INSPIRATION  I have watched more films this summer than I ever have. I was really interested in producing films. I was curious about the work of great directors like James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, James Gunn, and Christopher Nolan. What makes their films so unique and how do they think? I spent the entire summer watching and analysing the majority of the films by the aforementioned directors since I was so curious. It amazed me. By the end of the summer, I was certain that I wanted to be a filmmaker and director. I also watched ...

Where to begin is unclear. The summer and the first week of my level 6 have seen a lot of events. I had a great feeling about this year because I felt like everything was working out for the best. Due to the large number of exchange students who came here for their degrees, our class seems like a class for the first time. I can identify with them since they are also foreigners who are experiencing culture shock, but unlike me when I first arrived, they are talkative, curious, and willing to seek assistance. I'm doing my best to help them settle in. As a result, we decided to travel to Central London together. This Photo was clicked by me.. We coordinated our journey using a WhatsApp group. At Hatfield Rail Station, we met. I only got 5 hours of sleep, so I can imagine how difficult it was to wake up that morning. I couldn't wait to take them on a tour and get to know them. I brought my camera along because I am a street photographer and wanted to document this trip.  As soon as...

 Once I had all the sequences of my VR project. I had only one thing to do: lay them in order in Premiere Pro. In this blog post, I will share my experience of editing VR sequences from After Effects into Premiere Pro and offer some tips that I found helpful in the process. Step 1: Export your VR sequence from After Effects Once I had finished creating my VR sequence in After Effects, I would need to export it to a compatible format for Premiere Pro. To do this, go to File > Export > Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue. In the Media Encoder, select a suitable format such as H.264 or ProRes and set your desired output settings. Step 2: Import the VR sequence into Premiere Pro Once my VR sequence was exported, I imported it into Premiere Pro by going to File > Import. Select your file and click Import. You should now see your VR sequence in the project panel. Step 3: Create a new sequence Next, create a new sequence that matches the settings of your VR sequence. To do this, go ...

I wanted to create something that was more than just a sports story – I wanted to use boxing as a metaphor for life. With a monologue and rap beat in the background, my film aimed to inspire and motivate viewers to keep pushing forward, no matter how tough the fight may be. Several important lessons were taught to me while making this video. First and foremost, I realised how critical it is to have a clear vision for your project. With so many creative options accessible, it's easy to become sidetracked or lose sight of your initial objectives. However, by remaining focused on my vision for the picture, I was able to make decisions that improved the final result. Another thing I learnt was the value of teamwork. I got the services of a brilliant musician to construct the rap rhythm while I wrote the story and made the animation. We were able to create a unified and effective film by working together, which would not have been feasible without both of our efforts. The concept of pe...

Once I had all my frames synthesised. I had to turn them into a QuickTime .mov so I can edit them in premiere pro. I thought of doing it in premiere pro but it required hassle so I went with after effects. In which I just had to import the Jpeg as a sequence and it will automatically become a composition with the frame rate. It was 24 frames but I Changed it to 25 as it was the one I was working on. I exported all of the 13 Shots in the same way which took about half of the day. In the end, I had 13 Quicktime 4K clips ready for Premiere Pro. I opened the premiere and Imported all of the clips. Now the smart way to do all of the editing was to overlay all the footage on the top of shots where rendered accordingly. Because dimensions and time were the same. I overlayed all the shots accordingly.  The edit was quite basic and simple. First I started by adjusting speed and duration according to my sequence and then color-coded the sequence. After the editing and cleaning up were done. ...

  The first step in writing a script was to define the story I wanted to tell. For this particular animation, the story is about how boxing is a way of life metaphorically. I'll need to create a clear vision of the story I want to tell, including the themes, characters, and settings. Once you I had a clear idea of the story I wanted to tell, it was time to start developing the characters. In this script, the character is a boxer who has discovered the true meaning of boxing. I'll need to create a backstory for the character, including their motivation for boxing and their journey to becoming skilled fighter. With the story and characters defined, it's time to start writing the dialogue. The monologue provided serves as the backbone of the script, so I'll need to build on it to create a compelling and engaging story. The dialogue should flow naturally and reflect the character's personality and experiences. So from my script, I decided to add shots and dialogue in a ...
