The Creation Process
During the creation process of the project Balloon Festival, I used the model of the hot air balloon that I built in Maya for compositing material.
At the beginning of building the idea of the Balloon Festival project, I want to create a harmonious and beautiful picture between man and nature, and I also hope that the picture is more biased toward the fantasy world. The inspiration for the creation of this project mainly comes from fantasy film and television works such as Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.
Therefore, I want to create a fantasy world like a fairy tale. First of all, the saturation and vividness of the things in it will be high to create this fantasy visual effect. At the same time, some little things in nature should be used in a very natural way and composited into the screen. So, on this basis, I first replaced the sky through the Roto node and changed it to a brighter and clearer sky background. Then I added some birds in the sky to make it more natural.
After finishing the background, I composited the hot air balloon into the project and gave it a trajectory, and I also added an elk on the uphill. After that, I added a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit swooped down to the screen to add some thrill to the project and then synthesized a flying dragon flying over the screen to add some fantasy to the project element.
After the composition of the object is completed, I adjust its color parameters and color grade all the objects to make them blend into the picture. In the end, I added a soundtrack to the project, which seems to be the beginning of a magical journey, so as to match the fantasy elements in the picture and the overall picture style.
