I wanted to do something that involved compositing but I hadn’t quite figured out the specifics. For my first presentation, I spoke about what software I wanted to use and a few things about the project but nothing was set in stone.
Over the next few weeks, I started to look out for different compositing artists on Instagram and YouTube trying to get some inspiration that I could base my idea on. After a couple of days, I came across shutterauthority on Instagram and he had made a video which was really eye catching and it had a lot of comping limits.
Looking at this video I was inspired to do something with the UI of Maya and wanted to play around with it.
Now I had an idea of what I needed to work with. So I wanted to 3D model the UI of Maya and then make it interact with a real-life person but I didn’t want to use green screen for the whole act.
The storyline goes something like this: a person is walking into the scene and looking around and they will start walking towards the move tool. After they press the move tool, the move tool will appear on them and the mouse will click on the person and move them. Then the software will crash and drop them. Then it will zoom out and go to a room where the person using the software is.
