The Mill X SCAD 2024 Class 1

Today our prompt of CG Food was introduced. My team name is DSWY, for our initials from Duck, Yilin, Soi, and myself. Meeting my new teammates was fun and I am very impressed by their past work. Yilin already has an ice cream shader we’re thinking about using!

After class one I started watching commercials. Beginning with super-bowl commercials, I researched which ones were the most popular from the 80’s to modern day. There was a food ad which had an environment where the people and world around the main character changed when she took a bite, and I feel like that is something my virtual production team can utilize. Maybe trees that turn into bright pink mushrooms but only when the star in the center of the composition takes a bite and closes their eyes. This could be paired with a cinematic soft zoom, background defocus, saturation boost and other effects to make a beautiful shot.
