PRISHA
Prisha is a scene where I wanted to focus on improving my skills of storytelling through lighting. I wanted to evoke happiness, love, and a sense of pride with this piece.
I was inspired by the richness of colors that are present in Indian culture. I created a color palette for reference and the look of the volumetrics from the film COCO by Pixar.
By analyzing the references and the composition of the scene, I established a couple of tasks for the project.
One directional light.
Strong volumentrics.
Saturated, bold, colorful assets.
Busy surroundings
Have the character stand out in the busy environment.
Emphasize character’s face and the flowers on her hand.
Stay true to the details on the character’s outfit.
Scene is available in the Academy of Animated Art's marketplace.
Modeled by Sara Tarr
I was responsible for look dev, shading, lighting, and compositing.
Software used: Maya, Arnold Renderer and NUKE.
