For this exercise, we need follow the "James Bond" tutorial and do the same thing as what the tutorial has done. While we have something like the tutorial to follow, the exercise is still very tedious. I think because this is one of my first major lab exercise where we need to create something more differently from what we have previously done. Although the exercise is tedious and took me at least an hour and more to complete, this exercise is not that difficult, is pretty straight forward and easy to follow, just that it requires a lot of steps and sometimes if you follow wrongly errors may occur, where you need to re-follow again which is time wasting.
The starting part looks difficult where the balls move towards the right and disappear and generate one another when moving along the way. However, after that I have follow the tutorial, it is rather simple, just create a null object and make the ball follow it's position, from left to right, and also for the ball part to disappear and generate another one, is just freeze frame the ball and changing of the opacity.
For the second part, we need to create different layers for the background, as well as using the cc cylinder to make the spiral pattern background of james bond. Next, masking out the hole in the middle, so we can see through the hole and reveal James Bond. Create another null object and use it to move from right to left of the position. We just have to parent the position of the spiral background, the masking to the null object. This create the mask and background following James Bond as he walk to the middle of the scene.
The last part will be the blood and the ending. The blood is the opposite of what I think is hard to make, but in the end you just need to create a solid, and make it red in color, put it on top above the scene and mask out the shape of the blood at the bottom of the solid. Lastly, just drag it down in position to make the blood effect, I have also edited the blood where the bottom of the blood some of them move slower, while some of them move faster to create a more realistic blood flowing down. The ending part is where you have to move the mask hole along with the spiral pattern background left and right and lastly down to the bottom left of the scene and end it there. Also, change the background of James Bond to white in the mask hole when reaching the ending part. This is how to whole thing is works!
Below is the actual video that I have done following the "James Bond" tutorial!
Below is another video that I have edited using the above James Bond video that I have done out. I change the background color slightly to purple, as well as adding text of his name "James Bond", added background music, where when the text "James Bond" appears it coordinates with the background music where it says "James Bond" as well. Lastly, I change the blood flow effect, using the "cell pattern" tool, and make the blood move down in block by block similar to the cell pattern moving down. I find it pretty cool and look nicer after I have edited from the original video that I have done.
Reflection:
I must say this is one of the most fun exercise out of all the previous exercises, mainly is because this is one of the first major exercise that I have done from scratch, not like any of the previous ones where you edit effects from an already done video. I really learnt a lot through this exercise more than the one I previously done. I have fun doing it, although it is rather tedious and frustrating at times if you follow wrongly and need to re-do again. But still, this one is my personal favourite! I decided to edit some of the items in the video so that it has the orignality rather than all of the same old pattern style by following the tutorial. Personally, the blood flowing is one of my favourite, I find it pretty cool using the cell pattern tool, that the blood sort of overlay one another down to the end. After spending quite some time doing this, I have a feeling of achievement after completing the exercise, hope that we can do more this kind of fun and meaningful exercises! Cheers!
