I finally got to work on my first feature film. It's not as glamorous as it sounds, but it was a cool experience none the less. My task to color and light about six different VFX shots for an upcoming film, which will go un-named for now. For the first part of the job, I had to apply textures to models with some additional UVW work and texture painting. However, the most time consuming part was lighitng. Each shot had to be carefully light so the render output matched the specific lighting direction of the scene. It was pretty hectic work and took about three weeks of 10+ hour days and just getting two off.
The irony is, I always wanted to do this type of work when I was a kid. I wanted to do the old school stuff, like the stop motion and pupets in star wars and when CGI came along it crushed my dreams of getting into that line of work. But, after many years of walking down this strange path, it actually happend.
