looking for a cinematic quality in animation or VFX
to push the boundaries between genres
the question of Genre in the animated film
Special Visual Effects in Film
Imagination plays a big role from the beginning of the creative process. Before a work is created, it must be represented in the mind. This happens throughout the filmmaking process.Then comes the script to provide key frameworks for the film’s development. It is a revelation to register this with our eyes for the first time. Once production begins, all of this will become a reality.
In my first thesis, I analyzed the relationship between films and dreams. I relied on the experience of the filmmakers and combined it with extensive research.
The length of the thesis was limited to 1500 words, so although the topic attracted my attention, there were definitely parts that I could not discuss sufficiently due to the given length.
I would like to edit these parts in my current thesis.
I found the works of film director Balázs Simon fascinating, which my teacher introduced me to during the previous semester.
In the first week, we talked about the new task. We need to write a proposal. The title of the proposal must cover our interest. The scale is very wide. We discussed the structure of proposal and research plans.
After a long search, I found this model, which meets the task and is a challenge for me.
I chose this model because I can try doing many things such as fluid modeling.
At the teacher’s suggestion, I had to change my original idea that I wanted to model.
I exported the schematic to Houdini.
Houdini wants to know where the water is.
The homework is to bring a 3D object into the scene which is tracked in Equalize and then import it into the Maya.
I brought a boat and water to the scene. I modeled the water in Houdini.
It is easy to connect with Maya and Nuke software.
3D tracking in Equalizer
In this workshop we learned about 3D tracing. I found it very useful.
We need to work as a group on this project. Our group chose the “low-fi” genre. Since this style is close to me, I joined this group. The task is to create a 10-second video of an empty corridor, which must be transformed into a futuristic spaceship room. I chose the role of Look Dev Artist. I would like to improve my modeling skills. We decided on “Cassette Punk”. Old fashioned technology that was considered “futuristic” in the past. I made a mood board, I decided to make a kodak camera in retro style.
I decided that my personal project would be a scene from my last project. With this, I can deal more with both tasks, so I can present more exciting work.
The works of animator- director Simon Balázs inspired me.
Since I really like history, one of my favorite periods is the Renaissance, I created a museum that presents the works of Leonardo da Vinci.

Gate of Paradise on Baptistry (Battistero di San Giovanni) in Florence at Tuscany, Italy. This international landmark, as seen on the external public-facing door of the baptistery, was designed by Lorenzo Ghiberti (between 1425-1452) and is an icon of the renaissance. The reliefs represent stories from the Old Testament. The visible heads are those of prophets.

In my final project, I would like to incorporate this scene with a great narrative.
I am aware that you have to rebuild the entire museum from scratch in the Maja software, that seems like a huge challenge.

I watched “Moana” 2016 American computer-animated musical action-adventure fantasy.
I was impressed with the water simulation scenes.
I would like to create something like this in my personal project.
Frozen is a 2013 American computer-animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures.
This is the animation that had a strong impact on me too. Full of fantastic animation effects.
