向補習說再見

This lecture will cover the principals of good composition

with a high emphasis on effective cinematic lighting. Jeremy

begins by discussing the fundamental concepts behind how light

operates in the physical world, providing an overview of

topics like reflection, absorption, refraction, color

temperature and atmospheric dispersion.



He then moves into camera based composition, discussing topics

like camera angles, distance, lens choices, and depth of field

along with how, along with the right lighting, helps to set

up the mood of a shot. With a basic understanding of how

cinematic composition and light works in the physical world,

he then transitions into more of the artistic elements of

lighting and composition as it relates to computer graphics

such as basic 3-point lighting, framing, tonal gradients,

implied lighting and atmosphere.



He also discusses various lighting setups used to set mood

and assist in the story telling process. These principals

are then applied using Maya as the primary 3D tool. Jeremy

initially discusses basic Maya lighting but quickly moves on

to setting up various lighting conditions for a scene using

V-Ray for Maya to achieve beautiful global illumination

effects while still paying close attention to the principals

outlined in the early part of the lecture.
