Minor Project: Renders Of Final Characters

-

 Today I rendered out images of my characters in order to show off the final models. I'm really pleased with how they turned out and feel I did a good job of transferring my ideas from 2D to 3D for both models. At the beginning of the project, I did not feel confident in modelling a full character on my own, let alone doing two. However I learnt a lot through trial and error while I made the first version of the Samurai as well as through tutorials and watching video's online. I gained a lot of confidence with modelling the Samurai through the research I did surrounding the construction of the armour. This helped me a lot to visualize how to put the model together and as soon as I had a basic block-out of the character I was easily able to build it up from there. I was then able to take what I learnt from the modelling of the Samurai and apply it to the cyberpunk character. 

Out of the two the Samurai is my favourite as I really like the attention to detail on his outfit. On my second revision of the the character I made sure to include things which actually served a purpose rather than just looking cool. This allowed me to stay close to the drawings. In terms of the Cyberpunk character I am really looking forward to the texturing process in Major as this is when I feel the character will shine the most. At the moment I feel I have laid a solid foundation to allow myself to add details such as LED's and wear and tear to the metal. I think the head is the best part of the model and I am proud that I was able to bring it into 3D.

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
