How to get what I want?


#1

Hey guys, relatively new to this community here. I’m a third-year college student studying chemistry and looking to get into some serious CGI production, VFX, and multi-media freelancing. I’m going to be blunt, I’ve been wanting to create this moment or you could perhaps say, a series of these moments. I don’t want to have you guys spend a whole lot of time reading whole pages worth about me and the ideas I have as much as I would LOVE to get into that. For now, I want to focus on what I’m trying to produce here, so please bare with my description.

Essentially, I’m trying to create this cinematic experience, with some key essential 3rd person POV shots.

Take a look at this film style (I don’t know what style it’s called I would love to be educated on it just so I don’t have to say “3rd Person POV film style”):

Excuse the fact that it’s the movie Enter The Void (LOL interesting movie not sure if I recommend) but I’ve never encountered this filming style anywhere else and I have to use it for the purpose of explaining the “style” I want in what I’m trying to make. Now instead of the guy in the black shirt, I want him to be a sky-diver.

So basically a humanoid figure, with a suit. Keep in mind, I’ll be cutting and editing the video composition to how I want it. Now the scene is always in motion, the figure is “skydiving” after all. Essentially that’s what I want to make but I’ve got LOADS of imagination to help fill in all the flashy effects that I want to implement because I want him skydiving through a storm (unrealistic I know but bare with me for this artistic vision). I’m trying to manipulate a skydiver within this type of scene.

Start video at 0:51.

So take out the owls, I want slow motion lightning shots, rain (up-close camera shots, falling fluid), with storm-like clouds in the background. How or what is the best way I would I go about to create a sky scene like this? I’m well aware that this scene, this movie took a lot of people to make, hence why I just want to focus on the simple key objects that make up this specific scene. I’m willing to spend SOOOO MUCH TIME just learning how to make this type of CGI, and video effects, because it’s basically everything artistically I’m trying to chase. Both slow paced, and fast paced portions of my artistic vision entirely. ANYTHING, just ANYTHING that can help me learn about producing this specific type of cinematic experience I will look deeply into.

bumping because I’m desperate for information, have yet to receive any replies from the production company.

There is a whole bunch of stuff you should know in order to produce sth like that, like a ton of softwares
such as 3D modeling, color correcting, simulation, FX, and other made up ones, lighting techniques, storyboarding, etc. You will need robust softwares like Houdini and Flame and a pc that can handle 'em. If you want sth a lot less than that (but never-the-less decent) I would suggest you to use live-action stuff as much as you can.
Personally, if your ideas are that great I would try to send’em to some studio or sth like that, or to meet people from the area.

Is there a way I could completely send a complete idea through email with them all copyrighted, like if I didn’t want an idea stolen?

If you publish’em in some site you will already have a prove that you created them. But if you like, there is how to register them legally. In this case, you should look for your country 's copyright association.
