Week 4 / Class 7

While I wait for Nia to flush out the 2nd environment, I have been watching the lighting tutorials and playing around within Unreal. This is a very basic lighting setup while I figure out the different settings and things I can achieve with Unreal's lighting.

We were also able to import the trees that Ben made into the scene so I just placed a few to see what kinds of shadows I could get.

I have also been reading more into the "Pan and Scan" technique that Disney used when transferring their movies from widescreen to a 4:3 screen. Here's an interesting video I found on it about Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

I think it would be interesting in our piece either to bring down the aspect ratio as the camera moves and ending the shot with the 4:3 or have a hard cut that cuts to the aspect ratio being changed. From what I've looked at, it's possible to achieve this effect in programs like Adobe Premiere but I'm sure I could also do it in Nuke as well.
