Week 2

For my virtual world, I’m oscillating between two pieces. 

The first takes place in a botanical garden.

The second is in a rural home.

I’ve always been interested in perspectives of wildlife. For this piece, the viewer will take the perspective of a bumble-bee flying around pollinating in a magnificent garden. Ideally, I would like to color the entire world in an ultraviolet pallet to emphasize the bee’s perspective further.

The second piece, titled “Runners High,” takes place in a rural home on a stormy day. The athlete is training for a marathon on their treadmill. As they dig in, everything slowly shifts into a magical, surreal world. The piece ends with the treadmill timer beeping snapping them out. 

I’ve started playing with some world-building tools and importing assets into my scene as I decide which path to take. 



 

 

Mixed Reality Filmmaking Intro

Hi! I’m Alan, and I’m a second-year ITP student. Before coming to ITP, I worked as a freelance photographer and multimedia artist for 14 years. I specialize in portraiture and can check out my work here.

Capture One, Photoshop; Lightroom have been my go-to programs throughout my career; however, with the industry shifting and clients’ need for short videos, I started learning filmmaking. I was hesitant at first but quickly started to enjoy working on a film set deeply and have had the opportunity to direct a couple of commercials and DP a few smaller projects. This drove me to learn Premiere and DaVinci Resolve. I absolutely love camera-based work, from conceptualization to set lighting and editing. 

My experience with 3d and Unreal is limited to what I have taught myself over the summer and an introduction from a couple of classes last year. I am taking Todd Bryants Virtual Production this semester in conjunction with this class to jump-start my Virtual Production skill set. 

I’m beyond excited to explore a new way of storytelling and push my creativity.
