Last Friday... Hold on, no the Friday before that, was the day that me and my collogues pitched our 3rd year project idea to a panel of pros. As well as some ferice judges we also had an audience of over 100 people which was nice and nerve racking!
As none of us are actual concept artists we decided to pitch without artwork. Instead we presented mood boards, character poses and we knocked up a very quick scene to show the judges what it is we're trying to achieve.
I took a 3D character and made a walk cycle, Oly our modeller made a pier and gave it some basic textures then Matteo our VFX artist comped everything together and lit the scene. I had a bit of trouble with slidey feet but that was my fault but not making sure the feet moved the same as each other.
We're fairly happy considering it only took a couple of days but it really doesn't show our full potential so other than this blog and our pitch we won't be sharing it on showreels etc.
Here's the finished shot:
As well as this shot we also made a showreel of some of our work over the last couple of years. This was to grab the audiences attention and show the judges what we do and we're capable of.
We then went through scene by scene and showed some character poses followed by the mood boards for each scene.
The reception was fairly good from the judges I think we got our idea accross well and we got 3 green lights and an amber to go ahead with the idea. 3 beats 1 so we're good to get going on our project. Here are a couple of nice flattering shots from us pitching.
