Powerhouse VFX - Week 2 - Concept Development & 3D Previsualization
Concept
After meeting with our "clients", our group decided to go with Appendage / Body Part Augmentation for our shot film. And we started to come up ideas. We want to tell story that we all exited for, and also make sense to the audience. We disscussed what we want to convey in the story and how the performents, effects, and techniques to support the story.
Story
A young woman finds a flower poking out of a crack in the cement near her house. It catches her eye with a strange glow. She reaches for the closed flower and as soon as she touches it, it bursts into a beautiful bloom. The blooming creates a chain reaction, and to her surprise, she begins to see visions of vines growing up her forearm with little flowers budding and blooming along them. Her eyes sparkle, matching the glow of the flowers, and soon, all fades as if it were all a dream.

To better present to our mentors, Emma drawn a storyboard of the shots containing effects in our film. Also a concept art for visualizing the story.
Reference
Our reference to how the vines are possibly wrapping character's physical arm.

3D Previsualization
I created the 3D previs to tell the camera movements. It's not the actual location we are going to film, but to further visualize and help pitch our story.
Actress & Location
Hannah found our actress, Isabella Ramsey, who is excited to be part of our project, and her lovely home will be our shooting location. The location gives us multiple opportunities to film, and it has indoor and outdoor lighting, along with a bunch of trees and bushes, which is perfect for our story.
