"Vertigo" Film Study in VR

#Mastercopymonday

This project is a part of my #MastercopyMondays series — copying and recreating famous pieces is a way to learn from the great masters. It's a method of taking apart, dissecting, and reconstructing the thinking and processes.

VR film study of Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo", starring Kim Novak and James Stewart. Super eerie and memorable scene. I combined a few of Hitchcock's still shots to recreate this in 3D space.

(No vertigo was induced in the painting of this scene :)

Objective

Similar to Photoshop-film studies, I wanted to study composition and color from one of Hitchcock's movies
Utilizing several camera shots to create one scene in VR

Challenges

Painting with light for the illuminated background curtains
This was my first time blending and gradating color for a figure. It is very challenging to blend values+colors while also considering depth and thickness of my strokes + anatomy
