CHRIS NOIR
2016
Chris Noir was a collaboration between Matt Kinahan and I. It was supposed to be an exercise in set lightning. What we learnt during this project we applied to our second live action collaboration "The Late Assignment".
Chris Noir was a live action short film shot in the noir lighting style about a detective getting revenge for the death of his murdered partner. This was our first attempt at shooting a live action production but I'm proud of the result.
The acting is unfortunately wooden but I believe the lighting is great. We accomplished this with a single blonde light and a reflector.
ARTIST BIO
Christopher Jones
Animation has always been what I wanted to do but over my time in University that ambition hasn't diminished but changed course. I find my attention has turned more to both cinematography and character modeling as potential career options I'd like to pursue in the future.
My personal strength in a production is character modeling in Zbrush. Not only do I think I'm good at it, I find it's one of the aspects that I enjoy the most.
I find that my weakest point in a production cycle is the environmental modeling. I can't seem to construct a set that I'm happy with. I am determined to push my sets further than they've ever been in my productions to come.
