Sadness

Emotions – Sadness

This project was a set of three images, created to give a cherry three different emotions. In this third image, a young and small cherry accidentally rips away from the stem and falls off the table. The other two older and riper cherries that symbolize the parents are trying to catch it with their stem. This image shows sadness, since the parents are unable to help their only child as it is falling to the ground.

The background is kept black, to focus on the bright red cherry and create a dark atmosphere around the scene. The lighting is also cut to a minimum, one spot light, to focus on the cherry that is falling and its parents.

All the 3d models in this project were modeled and textured separately in Cinema4d. The models were then brought into one scene and composed thoughtfully together, to create a sense of realism in the composition. The lighting was done by adding a spotlight directly behind the smaller cherry to create the shadow on the table and show that it is free falling. The background has a black to maroon gradient, to keep the atmosphere dark. The final render was done in Cinema4d using Global Illumination and highest rendering quality.

Post-processing and color correction was done in Adobe Photoshop.
