Throughout the path of dream fulfilling, they brainstorm the marketing campaign, re-decorating, and mapping the future for the shop together. Although they come across the rumors, and frustrations, they confront the difficulties with courage.
This 3D movie is a 20-minute live-action drama. Before studying in National Taiwan University of Arts (NTUA), one had the chance to collaborate with 3D animation companies; thus, one acquired further understanding on 3D producing theories. Additionally, under the training of Graduate School of Applied Media Arts of NTUA, one has explored in script writing and film producing. The year of 2010 was known as "The first year of a 3D film era" in industrial sector. Many movies and video products emphasize on the 3D effects. That was when one attempted to merge what one has learned from work and school into a 3D movie for graduation production. Most of the 3D movies available in the market are done by animation or special effect editing. Therefore, the script of “The Summer We Met” is specially written for a live-action shooting 3D movie, which can be considered as an experimental movie, with a hope to provide an example for this field, and put what one has learned into practice.
After one year of production procedure, one obtains both creating concepts as well as execution experiences over 3D live-action shooting, and would like to share them in this dissertation. A 3D film needs to construct the shooting scene with 3D logic. While shooting, one needs to adjust these 2 cameras with a net partition board. For editing, one should edit with the story line, before deal with 3D synthesize technique. Finally, to display the final 3D content, one needs to export the content with a corresponding 3D format. With one’s experience sharing, one feels like to offer useful reference for those filmmakers whom are also interested in 3D live-action shooting work.
