Blog posts arranged newest to oldest. To-do: Refine new wind wisp simulations Refine ring animation and shot transitions Do a render test for shot 3 Mentor Feedback: Transitions!! Continue refining the transitions. Be careful of the scale change in the cloud shot, ring might look massive because macro clouds would just be foam - might not be an issue but it’s something to think about Maybe mood represented with abstraction of clouds rather than realistic clouds so audience do

Blog posts arranged newest to oldest. To-do: Create dark clouds Work on dark to light cloud transition Create wispy particle trail on ring Work on cloud material Mentor Feedback: Be careful for scale for all of the shot! Flower scene– keep the environment simple, don’t make it overly detail Maybe go macro in the flower scene as well since the other shots are also macro Macro photography with shallow DOF Find elegant ways to transition into each shot Figure out timing of the c

Blog posts arranged newest to oldest. 1/12/2026 As we've been working this week, the group and I have been assembling our pitch deck, with all of our previs, references, and ideas, to present to the mentors during our first conversation with them. After professor feedback and putting our pitch through Claud AI for feedback as well, the group and I were able to create and polish our project pitch for "Omni" (our made up name for Oura Rings). 1/11/2026 As the group begins refin
