Realization of a 3D rendering accompanied by animations and visual effects of the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever poster.
Overview 🔎
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is a superhero and science fiction (SF) movie released in 2022 and produced by Marvel Studios.
This project was characterized by the culmination of an audiovisual production from the movie poster. The objective was to elaborate a looped composition, in a vertical format, integrating visual effects, animations, and a 3D effect.
Process 🛣
In order to realize this project, I went through several well-defined stages.
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.
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.
Creation and configuration of the composition within After Effects: dimensions of the production (1080x1920 px), choice of the number of frames per second (60 FPS), duration (30 sec.), addition of the plans previously cut and insertion in 3D space, and configuration of the camera.
Creation of the various animations.
Creation of the visual effects (VFX) using plugins.
Editing of the production: camera path, Intro & Outro.
Assembly of the production on Premiere Pro: Insertion of the composition, research, addition and editing of the soundtrack.
Production export (H.264): 1 video file (.Mp4); 2 vertical cover pictures (JPG & PNG), 2 horizontal cover pictures (JPG & PNG).
