SEASONS
SCHOOL EXERCISE • 2022
LAYOUT / LIGHTING
“Seasons” is a 4th year Layout and Lighting exercise. Just like my other two exercises "Pixar Kitchen" and "Barbershop", the goal of this one was to place two cameras in a scene and render two images on the theme of the 4 seasons. Even though this exercise did not require video rendering, we also had to choose at what time of day our scene took place.
Just like my previous exercises, I loved this exercise. It was the last one we had to do and it confirmed my desire to become a Lighting Artist (or Layout Artist, because I love camera placement). On the other hand, unlike the other two, I don't think I succeeded as well. But I'm still happy with the result and the pleasure I had in making it.
AUTUMN
WINTER
SPRING
SUMMER
• To improve my lighting skills
• To improve my layout skills
• To develop my view of light
• To add my personal artistic touch and improve my sense of detail (for example: the light coming out of the window)
• Lighting ► As said above, I'm not sure I succeeded in this exercise as well as the previous ones. I think it's because the scene takes place outside. In the future, I plan to improve my view on outdoor lighting and produce more in order to be able to make the best lighting possible
• Layout ► I'm not entirely convinced of my layout, or rather my focal length, on certain shots. In the future, I will take the time to position my camera better and think more seriously about why and how to use the focal length
