CGtalk_lighting challenge_ Theater

##The character and movie theater was modeled by Dan Konieczka.##
This challenge is very difficult for me to come out an idea to do it... In the end, I decide to duplicate chairs, fance, stair and make it become a fancy show theater.The following is my first draft(March30), but I feel the overall color is a little bit monotone, and he chair and curtain's shading is not right. I'll try to fix it in the later day.
april 1st update












I add "color cuvre" to some lights toenrich the light color, and add a Depth of field, as well as paint a character on the stage.



April10 upadte, I don't like my painting-character since it's not fit with set at all. Therefore, I decide to put a piano. Beside, I modify the lights a little bit to make people's eye focusing on piano.

EDW project ideas

In the Experimental Digital Workshop, I'm going to do an independent study on matte painting.
I'm going to create a new tag [EDW] for this serious of articles.

here are two brain-storm ideas for the project:
--------------------------first idea----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the first one is inspirit by the castle photo I took in Mt. St. Micheal

many films have shots like that: having a castle(and character) in the foreground and using a matte painting to create a far mountain background to add depth to the scene. Therefore, I think this photo maybe a good material for me to start my first matte painting project




my plan is:
background:
* add trees and mountain in the back ground
* add a sky
* add mountain&sky reflection on the water

midground:
*add top of castle
*remove people in the original photo

foreground:
* add a CG castle wall and a robot's hand
which need to be lighting & render match the atmosphere of photo

**slowing zoom in the camera
(need to animating background/midground/foreground moving in different speed)

-------------------second idea----------------------------
the second idea is from piecing four of my photos together and add a group of CG birds(particle insteadser) flying by in it
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, I like the first idea better, because that has better composition and overall mode.I'll go talk to the professor and my classmates/friends on Tuesday, then decide.
