Life Study An outdoor Session With MAAC Kolkata

Greeting of the new year, 2019 from the Maya Academy of Advanced Cinematics family, popularly known as MAAC Kolkata.

We are the leaders of cutting edge training in 3D Animation, 2D Animation, VFX, Film Making, Multimedia courses, Gaming, Web Designing, Graphic Designing and Architectural Visualization.

We have excellent connectivity to all three of our centers located at prime locations in Kolkata which is at Chowringhee, Rashbehari And Ultadanga respectively.

New year embarks a fresh start of event of ones life and with this we turn a new leaf and look forward to a better tomorrow.

With a fresh resolution we have also decided to add some zeal and enthusiasm to our education curriculum.

And so, we are ready with our plan of making learning a fun and enjoyable experience for all our students.

Drawing has since time immemorial been the primary visual language for the purpose of communication and expression of ones inner thoughts.

Long before the invention of verbal language, or say sound as a medium of expression, man had scribbled his world with doodles.

He had tried to capture the life around him and also explored his philosophical concepts on the walls of his cave.

Sketching has an immense creative, expressive and educational value.

It is as important as the development of written and verbal skills as the very core concepts of understanding the world sprouts from meaningless doodles.

It enhances ones ability of perception, shape, volume, perspective and actions.

Thus it also finds application in various creative industries such as animation, architecture, design, fashion, film, theatre, performance art and communication design.

So, sticking to our belief that education should not be confined to the classroom walls, we organized an outdoor nature and life study session on the 3rd January, 2018.

The session focused primarily on the study of natural shapes and life forms and also reproducing them on paper with various mediums such as pencil, ink, felt pen etc.

Students from all three centers of MAAC Kolkata are Maac Chowringhee, Maac Rashbehari and Maac Ultadanga were selected for the session on first come first serve basis, to which the students responded enthusiastically.

A total of 17 students were chosen out of the many that registered.

In order to get the most out of the session we needed a place with a lot of activity and subjects to observe, and understand.

So, after careful consideration Esplanade Tram Depot was chosen to be the venue of the session.

The place is buzzing with energy of people rushing through their daily routine.

From schoolchildren to office commuters from fussing parents to street hawkers, we find a fusion of people from different spheres of society.

Students from all three MAAC Kolkata centers (Chowringhee, Rashbehari and Ultadanga) were gathered at Chowringhee center at 12:00 noon and were put under the care of Mr. Pradip Laha and Miss. Priyanka Pyne, who have expertise in this field owing to their years of experience in the same.

From there they proceeded to the venue along with the faculties. Students were required to get their materials with them.

Places like these have always been among the favorite when it comes to study and inspiration for outdoor artists.

Here they get the liberty to observe and choice to capture the different moods, activity, body language and expressions of people.

Under the guidance of the mentors the students set off on their journey of visual observation and recreation of the same on paper or canvas.

Students were given the independence to capture the city and its people from different viewpoints often helped by the faculties to setup interesting viewpoints.

A sunny day out in the midst of winter sure is blissful and so the students enjoyed the day working in an outdoor atmosphere, learning and putting their new found knowledge to practice.

The activity soon grabbed the attention of the numerous passer by, who then couldn’t help but take a peek at the artworks produced by our students.

The venue soon turned to an exhibition which indeed was a showcase of the immense potential of our students.

Seeing our students get praise and recognition from people we as their mentors cannot help but swoon with pride.

Students observed various aspects of life and nature and chose to sketch them out from various angles.

They made their attempts at perspective study, randomness of shapes, colour perspective and relative scale of objects as they are placed at varying perspective depth.

Different sketches had been drawn by the students consisting of the tram with the people travelling in it, people enjoying the sun in the winter afternoon, having street food and indulging in their day to day activities.

At MAAC Kolkata, we not only provide a sound theoretical knowledge of concepts but also believe in hands on practical sessions to make the application of the same crystal clear in the minds of the students.

This particular event helped the students to get real world skills from the real world.

Making a perfect sketch requires a lot of technical knowledge like perspective, proportion of

different objects relative to one another, composition, direction of light, materials, shading etc.

The students needs to have a clear theoretical and practical knowledge of all of these before

making a perfect sketch.

This session forced them to put their creative skills to practice under the constant guidance of our expert faculties.

And they discovered their own potential while putting their talents to test.

Students got the opportunity to share their knowledge with each other coming to terms with their strengths and weaknesses and a way to improve upon them.

The session lasted up to 3 hours and the students were indicated to wind up at 3:30 P.M.

The chilly evening breeze had set in and the students departed from the venue to their respective homes taking with them the abundance of knowledge they received, hopefully looking forward to the next chance they would get to experience such a thing.

We look forward to the same response the students showed us this time while we will surprise you with such activities in the time to come.

Prologue To Previsualization Wireframe History

From the very traditional times only, Previsualization is followed as the primordial form of picturization.

Previsualization is otherwise called previs, previz, pre-rendering, review or wireframe window.

It can be defined as a capacity to picture complex scenes in a motion picture before taping. It is likewise an idea in still photography.

Previsualization is connected to systems as well as techniques, for example, storyboarding, either as charcoal attracted outlines or advanced innovation in the arranging and conceptualization of motion picture landscape make up.

Portrayal

The benefit of previsualization is that it permits an executive, cinematographer or VFX Supervisor to explore different avenues regarding diverse arranging and workmanship heading alternatives, for example, lighting, camera position, and development, organize bearing and altering—without incurring the expenses of genuine production.

On bigger spending venture, the chiefs work with on-screen characters in Visual Effects division or committed rooms.

Previsualizations can include music, sound effects and exchange to nearly imitate the look of completely delivered and altered groupings, and are most experienced in scenes that include tricks and effects, (for example, chroma key).

Advanced video, photography, hand-drawn workmanship, cut craftsmanship and 3D Animation combine being used.

Computerized Digital Previsualization

Computerized previsualization is only innovation connected to the visual effects for a movie. Coppola constructs his new techniques in light of simple video innovation, which was destined to be superseded by a much more noteworthy mechanical propel—PCs and computerized media.

Before the finish of the 1980s, the work area distributing upheaval was trailed by a comparable insurgency in the film called Multimedia.

Multimedia is a term obtained from the 1960s, yet destined to be rechristened work area video.

During the making of the movie, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) in the year of 1988, Lynda Weinman (animator) utilized the 3D software programming in order to previsualize a scene for this movie.

The thought was first recommended to Star Trek maker Ralph Winter by Brad Degraff and Michael Whorman of VFX office Degraff/Whorman.

The idea was to utilize constant gaming innovation to previsualize camera development and arranging for the motion picture.

Virtus Walkthrough was utilized by executives, for example, Brian De Palma and Sydney Pollack for previsualization in the mid-’90s.

The diagram for how the PC could be utilized to design arrangements for motion pictures initially showed up in the coordinating aide Film Directing: Shot By Shot (1991) by Steven D. Katz, which nitty-gritty particular programming for 2D moving storyboards and 3D Animated film configuration, including the utilization of a continuous scene configuration utilizing Virtus Walkthrough.

At the time of showing previsualization at the American Film Institute in 1993, Katz recommended to the creator Ralph Singleton.

That a completely animated computerized Animatic of a seven-minute succession for the Harrison Ford action movies Clear and Present Danger would take care of an assortment of creation issues experienced when the area in Mexico wound up inaccessible.

This was the principal completely delivered utilization of PC previsualization that was made for an executive outside of a Visual Effects division and exclusively for the utilization of deciding the sensational effect and shot a stream of a scene.

The 3D sets and props were completely finished and worked to coordinate the set and area outlines of creation architect Terrence Marsh and storyboards affirmed by chief Phillip Noyce.

The last advanced grouping incorporated each shot in the scene including discourse, sound impacts, and a melodic score.

Virtual cameras precisely anticipated the production accomplished by real camera focal points and the shadow position for the season of the day of the shoot.

It likewise flagged the start of previsualization as another class of creation separated from the Visual Effects unit.

In the year of 1994, Colin Green started a great deal of work with previsualization for Judge Dredd (1995).

In this field, Green had been a piece of the Image Engineering division at the Ride Film Trumball’s VFX organization in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, where he was accountable for utilizing CAD frameworks to make scaled-down physical models (fast prototyping).

Judge Dredd required numerous scaled down sets and Green was procured to manage another Image Engineering division.

Notwithstanding, Green changed the name of the office to Previsualization and moved his enthusiasm to make 3D animatics.

Most of the previsualization for Judge Dredd was a long pursue succession utilized as a guide to the visual impacts division.

In 1995, Green began the main committed previsualization organization, Pixel Liberation Front.

By the mid-1990s, advanced previsualization was turning into a fundamental instrument in the generation of huge spending highlight film.

In 1996, David Dozoretz, working with Adobe Photoshop co-maker John Knoll, utilized checked in real life figures to make computerized animatics for the last pursue scene for Mission: Impossible (1996).

The previsualization demonstrated so valuable that Dozoretz and his group wound up influencing a normal of four to six to animatics of each VFX shot in the film.

Completed dailies would supplant segments of the animatic as shooting advanced. At different focuses, the previsualization would incorporate various components incorporating checked in storyboards, CG designs, motion capture information and no frills.

Dozoretz and previsualization effects administrator Dan Gregoire at that point went ahead to do the previsualization for Star Wars: Episode II

– Attack of the Clones (2002) and Gregoire completed with the last prequel, Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005).

The utilization of computerized previsualization wound up reasonable in the 2000s with the advancement of advanced film plan programming that is easy to use and accessible to any movie producer with a PC.

Getting innovation created by the computer game industry, the present previsualization programming enables movie producers to make electronic 2D storyboards.

All alone PC and furthermore make 3D animated movies and vivified successions that can anticipate with surprising precision what will show up on the screen.

All the more as of late, Hollywood movie producers utilize the term pre-representation (otherwise called pre-vis, previs, pre-viz, pre-viz, previs, or animatics)

To depict a strategy in which advanced innovation helps the arranging and proficiency of shot creation amid the filmmaking procedure.

It includes utilizing PC designs (even 3D) to make unpleasant renditions of the more perplexing (visual impacts or tricks) shots in a motion picture succession.

The harsh illustrations may be altered together alongside brief music and even exchange.

Some pre-viz can look like straightforward dark shapes speaking to the characters or components in a scene, while other pre-vis can be sufficiently complex to resemble a cutting-edge computer game.

These days numerous movie producers are looking to brisk, yet optically-exact 3D software to help with the undertaking of previsualization.

Keeping in mind the end goal to bring down spending plan and time requirements, and additionally, give them more noteworthy control over the innovative procedure by enabling them to create the previs themselves.

Previs Programming

Another item is ShotPro for the iPad and iPhone that consolidates essential 3D displaying and rearranges the way toward making 3D scenes and yields them as storyboards, a component accessible with most previs items.

Shot Designer vitalizes floor designs in 2D.

Toonboom Storyboard Pro handles 2D questions and permits portraying and trading in storyboard arrange.

Moviestorm works with 3D Animation and makes sensible sneak peeks like iClone which offers reasonable 3D scenes and Animation.

Isn’t it interesting?

If it sounds great to the pupil who is seeking to get away to the previs, MAAC institute is open for all.

These are the most lucrative courses taking the entire market scenarios at its fingertip.

Effective Cinematography Guidelines For Game Designers

In our today’s exhibit, you will learn about several cinematography guidelines for the purpose of the game designers.

Here the beginners, as well as the experts, will acquire some additional information about the cinematography of games that been used by game designers.

So, let’s have a look at the blog post which is presented by MAAC Kolkata in harmonization with three centers of MAAC Chowringhee, MAAC Ultadanga, and MAAC Rashbehari  .

Its all about game designers and the cinematography guidelines they follow.

In case you are a game designer who is on his way to accomplishing that true to life look for the purpose of your gameplay, trailer or other cutscenes, at that point, it’s a smart thought to acquaint yourself with a portion of the essential procedures of cinematography.

Accomplishing this kind of true to life “authenticity” goes past making something look genuine as observed through the bare eye.

Perhaps, it comprises some mimicking how something shows up from the viewpoint of a camera.

In spite of their numerous similitudes, it is obvious that the existing human eye and the camera lens-focal point contrast in their intricacy and their capacity to concentrate light waves successfully.

The human eye is far more refined than the focal point, which contains levels of blemishes that marginally twist and skew the shapes and shades of pictures.

It’s these “blemishes,” amusingly, that make a CG picture more “filmic” and reasonable to the group of onlookers comfortable with them.

Progressively, an ever-increasing number of diversion planners like Ready at Dawn (The Order 1866), are endeavoring to make these impacts with the expectation that they make their recreations more immersive, or as immersive as viewing a film.

Obviously, drenching in a game can never truly accomplish the level of a motion picture on account of the cooperation required to play a diversion.

In any case, that doesn’t imply that you can’t influence your diversion to take after the Visual Effects feel of a film so as to use the commonality gatherings of people have with the artistic experience.

The accompanying is a prologue to some fundamental standards of the camera and focal point frameworks that can give you the aptitudes and information to precisely join motion picture impacts into your own game designing.

Lens or the Focal Point Curvature

A standout amongst the most vital standards in photography as well as cinematography is that lens or focal points are intended or designed to bend light waves to a fixed point.

Contingent on what length of the focal point you’re utilizing, it will contort, pretty much, the picture before the camera.

Bending is the, as a rule, the clearest case with shorter, wide-point focal points, which tend to twist a picture toward its edges.

In fact, this is called barrel bending and is the exchange off for having the capacity to see a greater amount of a picture.

You can see from the picture underneath how this distorting impact turns out to be more articulated as you advance toward the parameters of the picture.

You can perceive how an unobtrusive type of the barrel impact was utilized as a part of this screenshot from The Order 1866.

There are certain cinematography guidelines which should be followed at the time of game designing by game designers.

Game designing along with game development is elementary to the nature of cinematography of the video game.

The structures to one side and right seem to edge internal toward the best while the window ledges amidst the screen seem even.

The game designers endeavored to re-make how a camera focal point sees a setting, for example, this keeping in mind the end goal to include a filmic feel.

Game designing is a significant part of every video game production.

Subtly is extremely critical in light of the fact that an excessive amount of defect can attract consideration regarding itself and obliterate the hallucination.

Chromatic Aberration 

Similarly, as diverse focal points bend light at various rates, likewise they bend wavelengths in an unexpected way.

This can cause a slight part of the wavelengths (consider how a crystal does this) and their falling on various parts of film or sensor.

The outcome is typically a “bordering” of hues at the edges where light zones meet darker ones. This is absolutely an optical issue and should be re-made through CG effects.

You can see the additional shading deviation impact inside this still, again from The Order 1866.

It is most recognizable around the correct sleeve of the male character.

On the off chance that you’ll see there’s an unpretentious “periphery” of greenish tint at the outskirt where his dull coat meets the lighter hued stonework behind him.

You can likewise observe this green tint at the edges of the dark sheets straightforwardly behind him over a similar shoulder.

By and by, this is an exceptionally unobtrusive impact that, if done effectively, won’t be seen by the gamer while playing.

Be that as it may, what the player will unknowingly see is that it shows up filmic.

That is, there is nothing irregular about this shading deviation.

It has quite recently turned out to be so recognizable to our comprehension of what a motion picture resembles that we disregard it.

Bokeh

One component today that is frequently used to demonstrate that something seems “realistic” is the creation of an engaged subject, similar to a character, with an amazingly hazy foundation.

As the foundation increments in fogginess, any unequivocally lit questions out of sight have a tendency to be rendered as roundish spots of light called bokeh.

The bokeh impact is regularly purposefully made to deliver a satisfying setting for the foregrounded subject, particularly when these foundation lights are bright or delicate as in Christmas lights or candles.

Focal point ebb and flow, chromatic distortion, and bokeh are extremely unpretentious markers.

They can have a capable impact on whether your players comprehend your game to be true to life or video game like.

On the off chance that your goal as a game designer is to accomplish this look, it is best, to begin with, these little touches. Looking for some change in career?

Born To Be Wild Peter Rabbit Behind Scenes

In our today’s blog, we’re going to converse about Will Gluck’s Peter Rabbit which has captured people’s attraction by the creation of its tiny sweet rabbits.

The blog post is designed as per MAAC Kolkata‘s authority in harmonization with the three branches of MAAC Chowringhee, MAAC Ultadanga, and MAAC Rashbehari.

It is written with a view to acknowledging the readers about behind the scenes of Peter Rabbit.

Will Gluck’s Peter Rabbit is based on the characters made and produced by Beatrix Potter.

It is recent in the line of 3D movies and it is on its way to the CG/Live-action hybrid.

However, have you ever thought how do you shoot with live-action actors?

Do you know where do you begin with Animation?

Animal Logic, the Animation and Visual Effects studio was in charge for many of the Visual Effects shots of Peter Rabbit.

Animal Logic is also responsible for planning the shoots to the filming with the stand-ins.

Thereby, making an entire raft of admirable CG characters and also animating them.

It’s significantly more work than you may suspect, and Animal Logic’s energized include pipeline – as of late supported from its developing work on late Lego-related movies – came in fantastically convenient.

Anticipating Peter  Rabbit                

Peter Rabbit recounts the tale of a gathering of rabbits and different creatures who think they have defeated the feared Mr. McGregor (Sam Neill).

Just to locate another individual from the McGregor family (Domhnall Gleeson) has taken up living arrangement rather, and has turned out to be keen on their creature cherishing companion Bea (Rose Byrne).

Joining this group of human performers was one of the principal huge difficulties looked by the movie producers since the on-screen characters would consistently be cooperating with Peter (voiced by James Corden) and his textured companions.

Strangely, Gluck generally shunned any sort of previs for arranging out scenes.

Rather, the movie was vigorously storyboarded and, once shot, the executive had craftsmen do storyboard draw-overs of the arranged CG characters into his alter.

That didn’t mean scenes were not arranged out amid shooting, particularly where huge rabbit and human communication was important.

Here, Animal Logic Visual Effects chief Will Reichelt worked intimately with the tricks group and the on-screen characters to arrange the Animation, some of the time with bluescreened entertainers pushing around sticks or stand-ins on set in Sydney, Australia and for some taping in the UK.

One scene even incorporates a mess of fisticuffs amongst Peter and Gleeson’s Thomas McGregor.

“Domhnall was especially up for anything physical and tossed himself directly into it,” says Reichelt.

“It truly makes the succession since you can see the exertion and effort.

It truly influences you to feel like Peter’s kicks and punches are really landing, and that is even without having a person in a blue suit pushing a stick in his face.”

Shooting for Real

That conveys us to the following huge test: ensuring the CG characters could be lit and incorporated sensibly into the real to life scenes.

That included a huge level of expertise from the Visual Effects group, however, they were helped by the utilization of a restrictive on-set HDRI framework for getting high caliber and to a great extent mechanized picture based lighting information.

The framework utilized Indiecam’s naked EYE VR camera.

Reichelt is of the view that the camera is intended to shoot 4K video and he also added they reprogrammed it in order to shoot HDRs.

Their main aim was to set the height super low to the ground, which implies that they need to capture more accurately related to the topic.

Making Rabbits

After the shoot, Animal Logic set out on the profound errand of quickening the rabbits, and in addition a few different creatures including a fox, pig, hedgehog and even a chicken (which simply happens to be voiced by Reichelt).

A noteworthy exertion progressed toward becoming ‘finding’ the characters, particularly since they were creatures with human qualities.

Specialists needed to work out whether the CG creatures would remain quadrupeds or bipedal and how much scope of feeling to give them.

“Early on we toyed with the concept of doing runs and strolls as bipeds,” notes Animal Logic supervisor administrator Simon Pickard.

Furthermore, on the no-frills plates it just looked wrong, so in the film, they once in a while walk or keep running on two legs.

At whatever point they have to get from A to B, the team drops them into quads, and they turn out to be more reasonable and more like genuine creatures.

At that point, they return up and begin acting once more.

The rabbits are animated only after studying original rabbits as a reference.

They picked up little footages to discover little nuances like ear flicks, ticks and their jumping which was later after the research layered into Animation.

This was indeed a hard job to accomplish as the animators were given the charge to produce real rabbits out of their facial Animation.

So for creating such rabbits required references and efforts.

Various types of Facial Animation were also put into Animation following the character’s requirements.

In the movie, the role of the animators is truly significant.

James Corden, particularly, has got so much vitality and pizzazz in his voice that the limited sort of facial acting didn’t exactly wed with his voice, so we began pushing somewhat more on the facial side. Also, it was finding that adjust.

Peter Rabbit was Animal Logic’s first undertaking moving over from a Softimage XSI pipeline to Autodesk Maya.

The Animation group additionally exploited changes made to the studio’s ‘Renderboy’ apparatus, which robotizes renders intended for audits.

Since huge numbers of the CG characters would be furred animals, animators in the past have thought that it was hard to energize them and see the last outcomes – “articulations can get lost when you render,” remarks Pickard.

Be that as it may, Renderboy gave the animators snappy visual criticism by demonstrating the characters with clay, fur, fabric, motion blur and image-based lighting, amid the Animation procedure without waiting for the last render

The last look of hiding for the CG characters, alongside powerful dressing made with a rig called Weave, remained a huge test for Animal Logic.

As of late, beginning with The Lego Movie, the studio has fabricated and kept up its own particular in-house way follow renderer called Glimpse.

That work proceeded on Peter Rabbit, with Glimpse moved up to empower physically conceivable rendering of hair and fur by means of Animal Logic’s exclusive prepping instrument known as Alfro.

Overall Verdict

Both Reichelt and Pickard designate that battle scene amongst Peter and Thomas McGregor as the hardest of the film, yet additionally the most pointed in exhibiting the cooperation between all offices – from on-set shooting to activity and directly through to the last rendering and compositing.

Each shot in the scene was regularly taped a few times, once with ‘stuffies’ as stand-ins for Peter, at that point once in a while with a man off-camera nudging Gleeson with a stick to distort his skin or dress as though Peter was pushing against him, and again with no stand-ins for a ‘perfect plate’.
