One of the appeals of the film is its dark, stylistic approach. How did you decide on this method?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Lane:<\/span><\/strong> \u00a0Being that it&#8217;s a short and very fast-paced commercial, we needed something to grab the viewer\u2019s attention right from the start. Through the lighting, we were able to get the characters to stand apart from the darker tones and pull the eye around the frame to see the various shapes of the figures and details of what each shot is conveying. \u00a0We also used a lot of rim lighting to accentuate the surface and contours of the characters. We wanted to show in such a short amount of time that they were soldiers with super cool tech gear.<\/p>\n<p>We wanted the characters to fall into shadow firstly, to convey the sense of camoflauge and the way they blend into their environment, but secondly to make the climax point of the action in frame much more dynamic when the lights and machine guns go off. \u00a0It being so brief and fast, we decided to just make it action-packed as there just not enough time for subtlety.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><strong>Q.\u00a0<\/strong>Were you given much freedom by Ubisoft, or was it a case of sticking to a very specific brief?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">David:<\/span><\/strong> We were given an unusual amount of freedom with this spot. \u00a0We had existing assets to work from, as well as am established visual framework from their previous campaigns, which enabled us to concentrate on the details; the textures, the environment design, character animation, the cameras and the edit. \u00a0It was really fun for us to have so much trust and such a clear vision from our clients.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"text-align: -webkit-auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-large wp-image-3015 aligncenter\" title=\"Ghost Recon - Future Solider - Cinematic\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/02-620x348.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"348\" \/><\/div>\n<p><strong><strong>Q.\u00a0<\/strong>Were there any key moments when carrying out your research?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>David:<\/strong><\/span> There wasn&#8217;t a lot of research involved. \u00a0We were provided with the assets from the game, to which we added some more detail. \u00a0The visual style, the concept, and the technical approach was really straightforward so we just went for it. \u00a0Most the of the time was spent designing and laying out the environments, as well as fine-tuning the lighting and effects to really polish the look.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><strong>Q.\u00a0<\/strong>What software packages were used? Are there any specific software you\u2019d advise aspiring VFX workers to concentrate on?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>David:<\/strong><\/span> The whole spot was done in Maya, rendered in Mental Ray, and composited in Nuke, with a little After Effects for the end tag.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Lane:<\/span><\/strong> \u00a0From a compositing standpoint, Nuke&#8217;s 3D aspects were used for quite a few things in this commercial. A lot of the smoke, little fires and steam elements were all tracked in via a 3D camera on a card in Nuke. It works great, and anybody looking to get into the field should become comfortable with the ins and outs of that process.<\/p>\n<p>Also, working with 3D passes is excellent knowledge to have. Not only on how they go together, but what they actually are, how they&#8217;re made, what they can be used for and what can be pulled out of them. Even though every pass has its niche in the overall build of a scene, we used a lot of passes for things that they really weren&#8217;t meant to be used for and it&#8217;s good knowing that going in, as you can plan on that being the case down the line when you&#8217;re in full production.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><strong>Q.\u00a0<\/strong>Concept art can often be overlooked by students rushing to meet deadlines. How important do you feel it is to invest this time during pre-production?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Laurent:<\/span><\/strong> It&#8217;s really important \u2014 a necessary step, actually. Finding a concept first and then figuring out how to illustrate what&#8217;s in your mind isn&#8217;t as easy as one might think, and so having a designer who is able to synthesize the concept and the look is key!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-large wp-image-3016 aligncenter\" title=\"Ghost Recon - Future Solider - Cinematic\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/03-620x348.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"348\" \/>\n<p><strong><strong>Q.\u00a0<\/strong>How much time is allocated for the different stages of production? \u00a0Can you break that down for us?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Luisa:<\/span><\/strong> \u00a0The schedule was very tight. \u00a0Once awarded we spent a week on concept design, followed by two weeks of previz. \u00a0Because of the short schedule we were doing modeling, rigging, texturing and layout simultaneous to animation previz. \u00a0Three weeks in, we began animation, which went on for roughly a month. \u00a0The last two weeks of animation were overlapped with CG FX &amp; Lighting &#8211; as we fed elements to our Nuke compositors. \u00a0 \u00a0We spent roughly two weeks in composite, refining and color correcting to get to the finished spot. \u00a0From award to finish the project was eight weeks. Very fast!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><strong>Q.\u00a0<\/strong>How long does it take from the initial concept to the film going live?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Luisa:<\/strong><\/span> Production on the spot took eight weeks. \u00a0I believe it went live in Europe shortly following delivery!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><strong>Q.\u00a0<\/strong>Can you offer any advice to anyone hoping to get involved in the VFX business?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Lane:<\/span><\/strong> \u00a0If you&#8217;re wanting to get into the VFX business, learn the basics and plan on doing that for a year or two. \u00a0If you want to do 3D animation, start off as a tracker or matchmover. A lighter? Start off with UV mapping and texturing. \u00a0 If you want to be a compositor, start off with rotoscoping and paint. \u00a0All companies need these things, and they&#8217;ll hire you right off, if you&#8217;re cool with putting in some hours. At the same time, knowing these basics and being as good as you can be at them only helps the process from there on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (Cinematic) &#8211; full
