This week we have contacted two professional actors to act for us for free. They were very professional and enthusiastic and they helped us to modify our dialogues. As for me, I focus on scene modelling. According to our story style, Leo and I find some references




Based on these reference images, I modelled the scene using Maya. I mainly found some architectural models on the internet and placed them in the scene. With the following results.

The effect was not satisfactory, we felt it was not shocking enough as the scene was the first shot and we wanted to have a more powerful shooting, so we changed our mind and recreated it. I spent half a day briefly learning the basics of this software, and then I edited the terrain according to the reference images. With the following results.


The effect looked better, but the image still lacked impact, so we continue to find some references, like these.


I have added some details to the previous terrain and added a large robot to make the image more relevant to the theme. Also, the director suggested that I make the camera lookup, which really makes the image very powerful, and I think it’s very nice.

Next week we will be shooting in the green screen classroom. Let’s look forward to it.
