Synopsis
A VFX trailer revolving around a pirate crew flying into space, called 'The Deep'. In search of treasure, they enter the skull's empty eye socket.
However, they come to realize their mistake in this adventure. Horrid creatures attack, killing each pirate one by one.
The moment the few remaining pirates leave their guards down, the final beast reveals itself and shows no mercy.
Project Type
Before starting production in Lights Out, I edited the animatic (drawings by a team member) to visualize the motion and pacing of our trailer.
I used Maya for the first time to model the skull for our trailer. Due to its inorganic structure, I was advised to use Zbrush as an alternative, leading to a much better skull model. The skull was imported into Maya for UV unwrapping, texturing, lighting, etc.
After our models and assets were prepared, we moved on to editing in After Effects. I learned how to key out a green screen, track motion, color grade, and utilize various effects.
