The Last Xplorers (VP)

As part of completing the certificate in Virtual Production with the Academy of Live Technology we made short videos as part of a team. There was 8 people in my team (including myself) and I was really lucky to be working with some great TV industry professionals. I was the only artist on the team which meant all the virtual environment and animations was down to me which was a great challenge.

I used an asset pack for some of the side wall pannels but I made (in Maya and Substance Painter) the consoles, centre window, roof, eye, claw arm etc. There was definately a learning curve with how things are scaled and positioned to fit on the LED volume but it was all quite easy to tweak in studio. I also acted as the assistant VP technician on the day and had to do some changes on set between shots for example adding pictures to the console screens to make it look more realistic and adjusting the lighting depending on what we wanted for the shot. Me and my mum (scrip editor/producer) who also worked on the short video worked on the set dressing and brought a lot of objects from home including plants and movie/sci-fi collectables.
