| Resumen: | In this thesis, I discuss and explore my creative process of recreating the Apollo 11 landing as a computer-generated imagery (CGI), revisiting the parallels and challenges of the original NASA mission, and relating it to my experience as an international student in animation at the University of Texas at Dallas. Although history’s lens serves the purpose of informing and educating generations through examination, perspectives on how to view and interpret history gave me a better understanding of how the space race came to exist and the challenges it presented due to its ballistic tied nature and heavy conflict context related to the Cold War. While doing this examination, many human traits start to poke through the clouds of conflict to birth a new path, bringing humanity together unwittingly and unknowingly across disagreements with the unified goal to reach the stars. Utilizing 3D modeling, surfacing, shading, and compositing, my creative project thesis was a short film titled A Lunar Project, where I transformed 3D assets into a CGI original recreation of the Apollo 11 landing mission while maintaining a sense of planetary scale, perspective and adventure through a combination of shots, sequences, and animations. My hope for this project is to provide perspective on how humanity has changed and has been influenced by the moon landing in 1969, while carrying the torch of progress further. |
