My Contributions:​​

 

As the Lighting artist, I was in charge of lighting, rendering, and compositing 11 shots for the final film.  I specifically worked on the fighting scenes to convey the character's emotions through light.  Micaa analyzed the three colors associated with the intense and primary emotions felt during contentious moments.   

 

For the environments, I created a light rig for the project using an HDRI and a directional light that had a sunset similar to the lighting references I was given.  My lighters were able to import the rig into their shots and adjust any attributes in order to get the desired look. This rig was used by the look development and texture artists as well.

Challenges:

​

The biggest challenges I faced were dealing with the terrible consequences of COVID-19. Having very limited resources to get the film done proved to be such a huge challenge because we dealt with internet connection issues, transferring thousands of files from each team member, and not being able to collaborate face to face. We had to find ways to cope with time differences and a very limited amount of time to complete the film. Despite all those struggles and limitations, we powered through by helping each other out and with a lot of patience. I am proud to say that we finished the film on time and completed all the deliverables required for production.
