 CGWorkshops - Hard Surface Character Modelling

Robots, mechs and sci-fi suits of armour. These each provide their own unique challenges and are quite different, but they all share something in common. They are characters.

A little "clutter" is not always a bad thing. When you are talking film clutter, it usually includes the stuff that ends up on the cutting room floor -- film that's scratched, stained, contains countdowns, head and tail burns, dust, light flashes or leader marks. But here's the thing -- that kind of clutter is sometimes just what you need to add life and drama to less-than-gripping static images, footage or type treatments in your productions. This kind of clutter adds spice and character with an indie-movie bite. The problem is, this character is not the kind of thing you can plan. It has to just happen... unless you are lucky enough to have the Digital Juice Drag & Drop Series at your disposal.

Send a surge of energy through your edits and move your message forward at the speed of light , A glitch is usually defined as a transient fault or error in a system that quickly corrects itself. Visually, it manifests as a jolt or pulse of electrical energy onscreen. This random and unpredictable error has the ability to symbolize a host of concepts that would otherwise be impossible to illustrate, from futuristic communication, natural disaster and complete chaos to suspense, fear and space age technology. While you cant program a glitch to hit your camera equipment at just the right moment in your shoot, if you are lucky enough to have the Digital Juice Drag & Drop Series at your disposal, you can still convey these concepts with the judicious use of some glitch effects.

Drag & Drop: Light Leaks | 4.78 GB
format: djanimations | 45+ Clips & Overlays | 1920x1080 FULL HD | Works with ANY Editing System

Like the morning sun peaking through the curtains, gently wake your footage with a subtle bath of light , In video parlance, a light leak is a film anomaly seen when there is a gap in the body of your camera which exposes your film or sensor to extra light. This light is usually diffuse but it can be reflected or shadowed once inside the camera, creating more unpredictable effects. Usually, this would be a problem when you are trying to capture pristine footage. However, there is no denying it lends a certain character to your film which makes it more interesting to view. With the Digital Juice Drag & Drop Series at your disposal, you no longer have to sacrifice a clean shoot to get the occasional unpredictable light leak effect you may want.
