New 3D Project
For the first project in my 3D class we are doing a 15 second product spot. I chose to do a wine glass for my product and did an initial imageboard and storyboard for my animation. I’m learning more about wines in Wines of the World and one of the first things we learned was to hold the glass by the stem so that the glass doesn’t get all mucked up with smudges and finger prints, because one of the important parts of wine tasting is looking at the appearance of the wine.
I thought first of having wine in the glass, but liquid would be a bit ambitious for this first project so I wanted to use light to give the impression of the wine. I wanted a spotlight in a dark space with high contrast, atmosphere and low saturation. This was my first image board with this in mind.
Image Board
In my storyboard I have the wine glass rolling into the spotlight and I wanted to manipulate the light that passes through the glass in the wider shots so that the first color is introduced only in the light coming from the glass, to give that impression of the wine. For the image of the glass itself I thought of classic, traditional glasses and script fonts for the titling to give it a traditional, old world, vinyard feel.
