What If Metropolis? Final Render And Reflection

-

 This is the final render of my scene. I have managed to go from what was a concept piece, to a fully realized 3D render. I am happy with how it turned out. At the beginning of the project I was able to come up with a strong backstory to Diomira which I documented in a travelogue. This really helped to paint a picture of my version of Diomira in my head. I was then able to refer back to the first project and pick out the parts I would want to improve upon. This gave me the opportunity to focus on just one of my ideas which would eventually be turned into the final 3D render.  The most helpful thing I did to prepare for the project, was to complete the 3D tutorial farm scene. This took me through the whole process of creating a digital scene and is how I was able to come to the final product. It gave me the confidence to turn my idea into a final product I am proud of. However I felt like more could have been done if I had left more time to do the texturing. I greatly underestimated how much time it would take to texture the assets in the scene, not taking into account the size of orientation of the UV. I know now that I could have made my life a lot easier if I had made some of the UV smaller and for the walls for instance, made the UV the same orientation. This would have helped me to line up certain textures. I feel like my confidence in both Photoshop and UV mapping has greatly increased from when I first started the course. I'm especially happy with the progress I made UV mapping as I was unsure about it before the project. 

Overall I was able to gain a lot from this project as it brought me through the entire process of coming up with an idea from a piece of text and transitioning it into something much greater. I have learnt a lot about what I'm able to do, as well as things I might not be as confident at yet. Next time I get a 3D project I will be able to spread the time across more effectively because of this. For example I feel I am quite quick at modelling but very slow at texturing. I will have this on my mind for next time and hope to create more complex models.

Major Project Submission Post: Reflective Statement + Art Of

  Reflective Statement For Major Project Overall I am really pleased with the outcome of the animation. This is mainly due to me feeling that I was able to include everything I set out to do, all the way from the beginning of Premise. It has been a very long process, with different routes taken in order to bring me to the final product. At times I felt I had set myself a far too large goal to achieve and was unsure that I was able to complete the project within the timeframe. However I kept going and I am proud to say I completed everything to the best of my ability. I believe the key to succeeding in the completion of this project was good time management. Had I not completed certain section in time for the next then I would have run out of time nearer the end of the project.  At the end of the Minor project, I had completed the redesign of my animation story and characters and applied my ideas to create a Pre-viz which depicted the events of the second iteration of the animatic. I th

From Script To Screen: Investigating How Shutter Island Tricks The Audience

-

 In order to understand how to portray my character in a more believable way, I decided to look at similar stories in which the character is an unreliable narrator. A prime example of this is the film Shutter Island.  Shutter Island Plot Summary The film is centred around detective Teddy Daniels as he investigates the mysterious Shutter Island in order to locate a missing patient, Rachel Solando. Teddy is trying to deal with the murder of his wife and has reason to believe Andrew Ladus is on the island as well, the man who murdered her. As the film progresses so does the mystery of not only the missing patient but also the island itself. As Teddy continues his investigation he becomes more and more suspicious of those around him, to the point in which he turns out of control in an attempt to escape their capture. The film ends with the realization that Teddy and Andrew are one in the same and Teddy was submitted to the institute after murdering his wife. The guilt from his time served

Character Bible: Elliot Goh

  Main Characters Man from future  Names for character: Elliot Goh (E.GO)      Man is vain and has a lot of money. For this reason, I feel like he would spend a large amount of his money on himself. This could be by purchasing expensive accessories and clothing as well as spending it on his physical appearance (tattoos, Botox and hair transplant). His deepest desire is to be looked upon as a god, which is how he views the superhero who is protecting his city. He is very envious of the hero as he knows no matter how much money he has he will never be able to compete with the supernatural. His jealousy has corrupted his thoughts and he begins obsessing over the origin of the hero. He throws all of his money into researching superheroes and time travel and dedicates his life researching about every single sighting of the hero.  I want him to look as physically muscular as humanly possible, in order to get across the idea that this is a man who has everything and will try everything in ord
