I've edited all my scenes together and I have been fiddling with the pacing. I have one more scene to make and render in Maya and I want it to stand out from the rest of my animation. The 5 or 6 shots before the finale all use one colour pallette and the greeny/blue haze lighting, so I want the inside of the egg chamber to be in contrast to them.
I've decided to mimic the interior scenes from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, using rocky outbursts and red/orangey glow lighting everywhere. I think this will give the ending a really dramatic feel and highlight the egg. I've been researching into it as I haven't watched the film in a while.
Im hoping that by introducing this red-based environment into my animation that it will help vary it, replicating adventure films that tend to feature in every type of environment.
ah yes - perhaps the only course in the known world where watching Indiana Jones 2 is known as 'research'... :-)
It was hard work and very stressful but I managed to make it all 90 minutes through. Unlike most of the native extras.
