Worked with the client to create a cinematic opening for the 2018 SDIFF. The idea was to inspire thoughts of the classic days of cinema while maintaining excitement and anticipation for what's to come. Texured a 3D model of an old 35mm cinema camera, designed the lighting, created the environment, animated the scenes, and composited the rendered content.  

This video was used throughout the 2018 SDIFF.

These sequences are presented in the order they were created. The original idea was to suggest a final movie scene was about to wrap, and the festival info would be on the clapper. After that, the decision was made to show more of the tools of a filmmaker, instead of people, so the scenes evolve from there. The lighting and movement in the microphone shots ended up being the main visual template for the final version. The final version, which is the video on the top of this page, uses only a retro cinema camera, but follows the look and feel of those earlier microphone shots in these previs clips. 

These sequences were used during the creative process to keep the ideas flowing for the client.
