The Preparation and Production of a Student’s Short Film
The way I plan and create films has changed significantly over time. With general refinements to my workflow and the addition of proper pre-production, I can create films that are increasingly better and with greater efficiency than I could have before. I applied this workflow to my most recent film ‘Mysterious Beef.’ Going into thisContinue reading “The Preparation and Production of a Student’s Short Film”
Step-by-Step Guide: Using a Caliper for Precise Measurements
Modeling to Scale In order to model something to scale, you first need the right tools to do so. For larger objects, things like tape measures and rulers work fine. But when trying to measure something smaller and more precise, a tool called a caliper works best. In this tutorial, I will show you howContinue reading “Step-by-Step Guide: Using a Caliper for Precise Measurements”
