this is my entry for the 'FOUNDATION' challenge,
It's my first time participating there and the reason why I liked this challenge so much is that I saw it a bit like a real production task.
Trying to hit the technical aspects such as the chromatic aberration, undistorted plate, paint out the lens flare and removing the grain, keeping the same format
not adding enhancements.
on the creative side, I tried to make a story about this world that has rings and based on the trailer I took the idea of holograms and spaceships and decided to
make a contact between allies. the hologram is proof of being on the same team.
also, I decided to go a bit clean in the sky to have a better read of the moment.
it was super fun and I really enjoyed it thanks for making challenges like this!.
