Trim Sheets and Modular Design

For our latest project in my Lighting, Materials, and Rendering class. We created a scene using Modular Design. For our second iteration, we textured it using trim sheets, and for the third iteration, we transferred the scene into Unreal Engine. My scene is an alleyway in a city at nighttime. I personally like the first iteration the most, but I fully understand the merits of the other two iterations.

Brainstorm Page: Music in Art

She has several clever references throughout the song; for example, "Little Black Death" is a clever reference to the archetypal "Little black dress". Additionally, the phrase "petite mort", which is french for "little death" is repeated several times after each iteration of the chorus. This is my ...

"Hair Love": Review

It masterfully executes a multitude of components: Camera Shots: The shots in the film serve to emphasize emotions and power dynamics along with the characters. The shot at 0:51 has the points of emphasis on the girl's face and yet also shows that all of her hair doesn't fit inside the shot, emphasizing how big it is, which is a central point throughout the film. The shot at 2:14 shows the father filling only the top third of the screen while the hair occupies the rest to show how he is small and dominated by the hair. The bird's eye at 2:58 serves to show the same thing. Yet, the shot at 4:08 shows the father in a slight worm's eye, putting him in a position of power and also showing him from the daughter's perspective. The shot at 4:15 shows the hair occupying only a third of the scr...
