Michael Jackson ''Scream''

I am going to talk about the techniques that could have been used to make this video because I could try and apply it in my future projects and videos. Especially experimenting with opening sequences.


This could have been done using any 3D software and using the text function in it. Software like Autodesk Maya or Cinemax 4D could do text like in the image shown above. I like the metal like look of the text and the way it splits open to start the video. It  is a simple way to open a scene but it works and helps grab the attention of the viewer.




Here, in the two images I wondered whether it was 3D generated set or a built set, I was informed that it is both. The reason it is more likely to mostly be a built set is how the set is lit and a considering when this video came out, 3D software was not very advanced. There is definitely some compositing (layering) effect done to combine the video shot in the tv in the image.
In certain scenes from the video, they probably had a rotating room while the camera stood still which could make the characters in the video look like they're upside down.


This is definitely a 3D generated space ship, either way with the time it was done, this spaceship is alright. It does not have much detail but it didn't need to, it is just to help set the environment or scene of the video.
