Powerhouse VFX - Week 10 - Final Delivery
Short Film: Overgrown
Hindsight
There is always no completed happy with our work, and the polish will never be satisfied. If I had two more weeks to improve and a chance to keep working on our project, I really wanted to bring shot four into our final cut to help us better tell the story. I would love to address the environment particles I created as a stretch goal for shot 4. I hope to have those beautiful particle movements around our actress and help contribute story and development-wise in our little film.
What would I do differently next time? If we started this project over now with the same story and concept, I wish we could weigh more on the filming part. We are all unfamiliar with the camera and shooting techniques. We could take more time to plan the shots to have more excellent footage, take care of the lighting issue, and apply more advanced tracking methods. I also want to see what will happen if we switch roles in the team. I would be interested in doing some FX works at that point and would love to get my hands on a compositing job. This will be fun and excite me again because I am curious about what image we will present with the same team members under the same story!

Thank You!
Our team is pleased to present this short film after many obstacles we conquered and is very glad to deliver this project on time in a short amount of time. I feel thankful for the many people along the journey.
Many thanks to our most fantastic mentors from Powerhouse VFX, Ed Mendez, Monica Manalo-Hosenball, and Nick Dauphinais, for taking the time to be part of us! It was a great experience to work and learn from the industry. All the feedback and workflow from them are enlightening and precious.
Big shout out to Professor Bridget Gaynor, the producer of this project. She has the power to manage everything on track and a well-planned schedule among all the teams. The most important thing is that the class vibe she created was fun and progressed, which really helped us communicate and grow together. I appreciate the guidance received from her that helped me feel more comfortable collaborating with others.
Needless to say how I feel proud of our team members. You guys rock! My pleasure to work with each of you!
