One sentence: what the piece is, and what you were responsible for. Nothing else.

Lookdev, lighting, compositing

Final


The finished shot, at the top. Paste a Vimeo or YouTube link on its own line to embed it, or drop the final render here.

Brief & intent


The problem you set out to solve, and the constraints — deadline, brief, exercise, client note. Say what success was supposed to look like.

References


The moodboard and the photo reference you actually worked from. Credit anything that is not yours.

Breakdown


Plate against final comp, or clay against beauty. Drag the handle across to compare — two frames, or two clips playing in step.

Lookdev & texturing


Turntable, UV layout and texel density, map resolution, the shader graph. Show the material doing its job under more than one lighting condition.

Lighting


Light rig and intent — key, fill, rim, practicals. A light-by-light contact sheet reads better than one finished frame.

Rendering


Renderer and settings, sampling, AOVs, colour space, render time per frame, what the farm was. Numbers are the point of this section.

Compositing


Node graph, the passes you rebuilt from, grade and lens treatment. Raw beauty next to final grade makes the work visible.

Technical notes


One problem per entry, then what you did about it. This is the section studios read closest.
