To coincide with the Altered States project I 3D modelled Agent Smith's Glasses as seen in the Matrix Trilogy. From my contextual research I tried to make these as screen accurate as possible by using reference images of the glasses worn my Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith. I made a total of four final renders with two of them having matrix coded lenses. As an additional feature I modelled the blue and red pill, seen in The Matrix, and placed them in front of the glasses.
So that I could produce a version of the glasses with animated falling code I did this render with green screen lenses to make the masking process easier in Photoshop.
After masking out the lenses and saving the image as a PNG in Photoshop; I imported it into Premiere Pro. By using a video file of the matrix code and adding sound effects I was able to produce this effect.
