Nadia Persaud Assignment #4

Fantasy world link Scene: For my project, I chose to create a fantasy forest-like world. Initially, I had tried creating an outer space scene with aliens and spaceships but I couldn’t get it to have the same “wonder” aspect as I could with the fantasy world. The aliens and spaceships just looked unanimated and the scene was dull and boring. So instead, I decided to create this mystical realm where dragons, fairies and other magical creatures can roam. To start off, I chose a skybox that has bright blue skies,...

Assignment 4 -star explosion- Baiyu Gao

Story I want to create a fictional scene and set up a story about a space adventure. Two robots had found a mysterious meteorite which may contain the remains of aliens. When astronomers are trying to analyze it and take samples, a star which seems to be exploding is approaching at an unexpected speed and may destroy the planet where astronomers are. The astronomers sent a drone to detect the speed of the star but it didn’t work because it seems that they can’t control it. Facing with this situation,...

Assignment 4 – Shiyi Liu

Video Post I am so excited about making a video by Unity 3D to create a new and original world on my own. What I tried to present is a creepy alien world, with lots of mountains and aliens and a single church in it. I attempted to add some sound effect to mimic the alien sound in the world in order to build a scary and weird environment. However, I am confused about how the terrain and scene looked like in a low angle view. This project may be...

Assignment 4: Create a Scene in Unity

Larissa Urbiks I wanted to have a realistic environment for my assignment and designed an island. I put some objects on the island and tried to tell a story with them. The story is about “Treasure Island” – a long forgotten island in the middle of the ocean. The army found a document that was marked as very important. Unfortunately, it was in such a poor condition that they were only able to read some coordinates. They looked for them, but all sources said that there is nothing than water,...

Assignment 4 – Sanchez

I think it's safe to say unity is not my forté. It took a while to somewhat understand the platform and how it works and I'm still not sure how to handle the light properly as well as adding the sound.   The volume of the horse sound is very low and I'm not sure why. I'd have liked to improve the lightning of the objects in the scene but after moving the light bulb around and no being much of a difference I decided to just go back to...

Assignment3-Nan Sun:360 Wedding

Oringal blog of Shuran Huang: http://www.vrstorytelling.org/assignment-3-shuran-huang/ Video link: https://youtu.be/xMn21GbOdBs For our 360 video teamwork, we experienced a really good time. We first went to Landmark Theater but we were not allowed to shoot due to the Disney Production. Then we came up with a new topic for 360 wedding ceremony. Since the ceremony was held by Shuran’s friend, it was not convenient for Julian and I to shoot with Shuran together. Thus we were responsible for the editing work. It was my first time to use this software so I...

Assignment 3 Horror Story Team Project: LET ME OUT- Kanda Fang

Repost from Alina: Team members: Alina Li, Baiyu Gao, Kanda Fang, Lillion Hunt, Shiyi Liu We filmed in a restroom without mirror in Newhouse. We discussed a lots of details before filming, for example, the position of camera, the walking path of the ghost, and how to knock the doors. The plot of  the girl washing hands was not in our original idea, but we wanted to draw people's attention and let audience turn around. We found a lot  problems when we were shooting: persons behind each door could not...

Assignment 3: Team project – Animal Shelter

Summary Our project is inviting audience to a local animal shelter. This is the summary of producer's post: "My idea is to create a 360 video experience of a local animal shelter. The main idea behind this video is to create empathy and make the users feel like they are interacting with these different animals. Before I went to an animal shelter, I had a somewhat negative outlook towards them. I had thought they were locations to house stray animals or vicious pets (kind of like a jail for bad...

Assignment 03: Creepy Dinner – Tony Yao

Video Link: https://youtu.be/m0fLvTi9V-I My job: Director   Early preparation: We had several meetings on what kind of video do we really want to film. At first, we are trying to make a creepy family dinner movie. However, when it comes to finding actors and actresses, things got really difficult. We might not able to find perfect actors and actresses for the story. Instead, we changed this to a roommate finding movie. Also, the most parts we thought of includes camera angles and lighting. We agree that it might be a...
