just a little bit of editing.. so let's get on to that! But.. it didn't work. And then it didn't work again! Eventually, this turned into a 5 month project.

Crafting Notes
The idea behind this project, originally captured February 2020 and published in October, took a while to get to the end stage.
The shots we captured in studio were amazing! They had the potential to become pretty awesome after just a little bit of editing.. so let's get on to that! But.. it didn't work. And then it didn't work again! I just kept tinkering with the background.. we had iterations ranging from dark and moody to clinical white. Eventually, we ended up with this one!
So, about those iterations: I ended up making a short movie showing all of the versions I did between February and October - see below. I'm still learning all of this.. lots of flaws in this one that still bug me, but hey, overall learning this 3D thing is an extremely fun ride and I value the trust models put in me when I come up with a new crazy background image suggestion.. that then takes a mere 5 months to build. ;)
Can't wait to continue on my next projects!
Want to see more versions and more pictures of this series? Check below!
Version 1: a big boring room with a cage
This was the original room, have a big factory like room with a cage in the middle. After creating it it... just wasn't. Progress stalled after that for a month or so.
Version 2: a white room
Away with the factory! In with the white room! Much more clinical, and much more suitable! This version started to work, but felt artificial at the same time.
Version 3: a darkened white room
To combat artificiality I removed the light and added more atmospherics (a typical thing I do, apparently ;) ) -- and that worked, but it also started lacking that clinical feel. We also removed the cage, as it detracted instead of added.
Version 4: back to white!
.. but with atmosphere! This works better, but the floor.. isn't. And the walls aren't either.
Version 5: changing the walls and floors
There's actually a version 6..9 too, but I won't bother you with those details.
