Premise: Presentation Reflection

-

 Today I presented my premise unit to my tutor and fellow classmates in order to show the direction my project has taken. As this was the second presentation I continued where I left off last time, which was taking all of the research I had gathered and applying it to my own animation. This lead to the creation of the two characters. I was excited to present as I feel I have developed my project well in terms of what is required for the unit. 

My tutor said that I was at a good place and that the idea for my project is strong, which I was very proud of. Below are the things suggested by my tutor which can help me improve upon my project for submission:

Investigate the colour pallet -  at the moment the two worlds are very similar and my tutor suggested investigating the colours which distinguish the two worlds. For example traditional would be more pastel colours and the cyberpunk world would be purples and blues. This will he differentiate the two sides and make the animation look more aesthetic. 

Look into more stylized fights - A big part of my project was focused on looking at anime as reference in order to translate that style into 3d. When viewing my pre-viz, Simon explained that its lost its style slightly and needs cleaning up slightly. He suggested that I look at anime fight scenes, looking particularly at how they use the camera in order to display the fight. He suggested that after reviewing the fight scene, I buy a BIY figure, which will allow me to explore more poses without the limit of the 3D model. I can then use a real life camera in order to capture the best shot of the figure. This will also be a lot quicker than drawing each pose. 

The final suggestion was that the cyberpunk world seems as if it does not fit the world and needs to be more abstract. Simon suggested that instead of making the world myself I use the setting M.A.S.H in Maya, which will allow me to apply a sound and let the music build the world for me. 

Overall I am happy with the stage my project is currently at and will implement as many of the changes as I can to insure that my project is at its strongest in time for submission.

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
