| Realization of a 3D rendering accompanied by animations and visual effects of a Dune part two poster.

🎬 Audiovisual production: https://www.carlierjulien.com/en/gallery/duneparttwo

Overview 🔎

Dune is a science fiction motion picture directed by Denis Villeneuve and released in 2021. This is an adaptation of the novel Dune, part two of which is planned for 2024.

​

The idea behind this production was to create an animation of the movie poster.

Process 🛣

In order to realize this project, I went through several well-defined stages.

 1. Realization of the scenarios (3D, VFX, Animations, Editing) in order to clarify the direction of the project and to know all the elements to be produced.

 2. Creation and configuration of the composition within After Effects: dimensions of the production (1920x1080 px), choice of the number of frames per second (60 FPS), approximate duration (30 sec.).

 3. Cutout of all the elements of the poster through After Effects in order to constitute the plans of the 3D part. Deletion of elements, additional adjustments and retouching were necessary to perfect the plans, using Photoshop..

 4. Insertion of the plans previously cut in the 3D space, and configuration of the camera and its path.

 5. Creation of the various animations.

 6. Design of the visual effects (VFX) using plugins.

 7. Editing of the production: General color correction and details enhancement.

 8. Assembly of the production on Premiere Pro: Insertion of the composition, research, addition and editing of the soundtrack.

 9. Production export (H.264): 1 video file (.Mp4); 2 vertical cover pictures (JPG & PNG), 2 horizontal cover pictures (JPG & PNG).
