Studio II - Week 1

For my Studio 2 , I'll be working on a collaborative project that focuses on a social criticism about gun possession in the United States. I want to contribute to this project as both look development and compositing artist, and hope to help tell this story better.

One of my first tasks is to set up the gun we'll be using for the closing shoot, for which I created a lookdev rig.

At this point we're still developing ideas and I though it's important to have a strong opening shot for which I created a quick previz with 3 concepts, relativey similiar to each other. Keep in mind that nothing is carved in stone so this shot might end up being something else.

Idea#1:

Two friends are sitting at a table talking (muted), head cropped out of the frame, one acts like they want something from the friend, like a gum or cigarette. The other friend reaches into his pocket and puts a box of ammo on the table and slides it over to the fiend who picks it up.

Shot angle: Over the shoulder; top-down medium.

Idea #2:

Similarly to the first idea, two friends at the table, sitting , one of them reaches to pocket, holds the box of ammo and opens it, the other friend takes a bullet out of it.

Shot angle: Over the shoulder; closeup, side view/ top down.

Idea #3:

Camera moves down form chest level to side view, where of one them has a gun in their pocket while they’re talking camera slowly tracks sideways to the other end of the table where the other friend also has a gun in their pocket.

Shot angle: static medium to vertical track down.
