abstract

This projects objective was to explore the technique of extending an existing building to create a new structure in 3D such that it could be used during a short ‘fly by’ in film or still photography. The report examines alternative techniques to the tried and tested 2D mattes, but without the expense and time associated with the production of a full 3D computer modelling and rendering of both the building and surrounds, as would be used for prolonged filming of sets. The photographs included in this report and the film extract show that the desired effect has been achieved with minimal equipment, a very low budget and a little patience. This study shows that it is possible to create such a building 3D which could be used as a set piece in film or television not just for distant viewing but medium to close in work and with the camera viewpoint rotating in 3D to a small degree.
