 DIGITAL PAINTING (DP)
DESCRIPTION:
Digital painting is an emerging art form in which traditional painting techniques such as watercolor, oils, impasto,
etc. are applied using digital tools by means of a computer and software, a graphics program offering a virtual
canvas and painting box with a large amount of brushes, colors and other supplies. Digital painting differs from
other forms of digital art, particularly computer-generated art, in that it does not involve the computer render-
ing from a model. The artist uses painting techniques to create the digital painting directly on the computer. All
digital painting programs try to mimic the use of physical media through various brushes and paint effects.

Digital painting thrives mostly in production art. Digital painting software such as Adobe Photoshop and many
others, gives an artist’s a similar environment to a physical painter: a canvas, painting tools, mixing palettes, and
a multitude of color options.

 MATTE PAINTING (MP)
DESCRIPTION:
A matte painting is a painted representation of a landscape, set or distant location that allows filmmakers to
create the illusion of an environment that is nonexistent in real life or would otherwise be too expensive or im-
possible to build or visit.

Historically, matte painters and film technicians have used various techniques to combine a matte-painted image
with live-action/3D animation film footage. At its best, depending on the skill levels of the artists and techni-
cians, the effect is “seamless” and creates environments that would otherwise be impossible to film.

A good matte painting reflects the following qualities of an artist:

• A good solid understanding of Light and Exposure
• Painting in a photographic style
• A good understanding of Perspective (strong focal point)
• A strong Composition
• Some Camera Knowledge
• Color (for matching plate)

THEME: OPEN

 ENVIRONMENT - MODELLING & TEXTURING
(ENVMD&TX)
DESCRIPTION:
Imagination though can never have a boundary, its physical depiction in a live action / 3D film may result in a
lot of limitations. Modeling & Texturing play a very important role in creation of an imaginary ‘set’ using cinema
graphics for depicting the imagination on any given canvas mostly digital.

 PHOTOGRAPHY (PHTGR)
DESCRIPTION:
Photographs are amazing. Photographs evoke the essence of places we have not been, we perhaps will not
return to, and should never forget. Photographs “become” through making choices, and great photographs be-
come through making right choices. Right choices are the direct result of the knowledge of the photographer.
Great photographs are NOT, however, strictly the result of owning fancy equipment. Anyone using most any
camera can take an incredible photograph.

 CHARACTER ANIMATION (CHA ANM)
DESCRIPTION:
In computer animation, character animation is the creation of an animated person or animal. The animator will
make a unique character-generated individual and decide how the character will look, move, and interact with
its environment.

Character animation is a specialized area of the animation process, which involves bringing animated characters
to life. The role of a Character Animator is analogous to that of a film or stage actor, and character animators are
often said to be “actors with a pencil” (or a mouse).

Character animators breathe life in their characters, creating the illusion of thought, emotion and personality.

FORMAT:
• Participant must submit final clip in (.mp4) format.
• There must be basic 3 point light set up.
• As per the given dialogue the participant may download and use rigged characters; best suiting the provided
audio reference.

 CG LIGHTING (CG LIG)
DESCRIPTION:
CG Lighting shows us how to illuminate the scenes with the required mood as per the story. Adding a light to a
scene causes many variations in shading and creates more interesting images. This is why such close attention is
paid to lighting; it plays a big part in telling a compelling story.

FORMAT:
• The Lighting reel should essentially have One Exterior Scene and One Interior Scene.
• The interior and Exterior scene should have day and Night lighting setups of the same background. Please
refer to the image given below which is just a reference and should not be copy.
• Light setup of the Exterior and Interior background should have multiple lights and render passes.
• The students can add any prop or character in the shot to enhance the look of the scene.
• The submission should demonstrate the compilation of various render passes to achieve the overall look and
feel.

 MOTION GRAPHICS (MOT GRA)
DESCRIPTION:
Motion graphics is animation, but with text as a major component. Essentially, it’s animated graphic design.
This kind of design is a subset of graphic design in that it uses graphic design principles in a filmmaking or
video production context through the use of animation or filmic techniques. These motion graphics are pieces
of digital footage or animation which create the illusion of motion or rotation, and are usually combined with
upbeat music for use in multimedia projects. Together with music and effective copy, they can give us a message.
We use them to create ads, title sequences for channels.
