DESCRIPTION
This was a commercial project for the promotion of the opening of "The Backlot" IMAX which opened in Blackpool at the start of this year. Its a video that depicts a virtual drone show, where the drones take shape of various cinema-related shapes.
ROLE
I was tasked with creating a Unity project, with code where a group of objects would fly and take the shape of a given mesh. When flying, they would mimic the behaviour of drones by flying in a natural pattern. I also had to do some basic video tracking and exporting the footage for use within Unity which was used as the backdrop to the scene.
CHALLENGES
The biggest challenge in this project was of course learning the basics of how track video footage. I had only done basic video editing before, and had no experience in tracking footage of any kind. Since there were only two of us on the project, I had to learn to track footage within a day and have it exported and the project within two.
TECHNICAL
This project was developed using Unity3D, with C# used to implement all of the code. I used Davinci Resolve to track the footage used for the backdrop.
