BIBLIOGRAPHY ................................................................................................................ 107 Victor Carrasco Montero Creation of a Trailer using VFX and Compositing When creating a film trailer from start to finish, many aspects of audiovisual creation must be considered. My TFG, although each one of these workflow processes have been carried out, has been specifically focused on the postproduction part. The trailer will be for a post-apocalyptic and fantastic genre film called Genesis with two main characters displayed as opposites. During the course of this project, the three main sections of the motion picture pipeline, pre-production, production and post-production will be worked on, as the main objective for me is to create my own audiovisual project with a professional level quality. However, the main issue is that most of the time these different phases require multiple artists and technicians working together and, in this work, it will be just one person. Therefore, numerous aspects of the project will have to take substantially less time than others, as time is very limited and it is very important to have a proper organization of the project and knowledge of what can and what cannot be done by the deadline. The post-production step will be the one with the most importance, as it is the part where this project revolves around. The main techniques used in this work are the simulation of visual effects and 3D modeling in Houdini, the creation of realistic matte paintings in Photoshop and the video compositing in Nuke. This last software will be the core of the project, as it is where everything will come together as one final clip because of a good integration of the different objects in the scene. Finally, the project has been a whole new experience for me. I have fulfilled my expectations for the project and have achieved the main objectives that I initially planned. More importantly, I have learnt to manage a big project and new techniques and procedures that will be especially useful for my professional career.
