Asset Preparation & Landscape Photography Session 4

Session Review 

After making excellent progress in the written investigations and now visual concepts. I decided it was tme to start heading out to do some landscape photography that would be excellent backgrounds for my cg zeppelins.

I originally planned to head down to the beach at either Weston-super-Mare  or Cornwall since I wanted to capture a shot of the wooden walkway and other beachfront structures.

However,the train fee was ridiculous and would have been a waste of money for a damn train ride alone. So thankfully I remembered when I visited the tron bridge in Telford when I was going to primary school, and the open victorian town museum would provide a nice aesthetic look for my airships.

Furthermore, after eventually finding how to get to the iron bridge from the train station, I managed to capture some good clear shots of the bridge which was fantastic although I learned I needed to arrive earlier in order to make it to the victorian town in time.

Overall, I still enjoyed going to Telford and the shots I managed to capture since I placed my airship renders on one of the iron bridge photographs and it looks impressive (figure b).

Dreamscape: Scene Shoot Session 1

Session Notes Early afternoon met with my subject and colleague Mantas and used him to pose while I shot him playing the key frames of the story. Despite some of the photographs looking well not all of my scenes were captured well due to his nervouness of the train leaving so I could not capture what was drawn and planned. Therefore, I have already prepared my other willing subjects to arrange a new shoot this time with a camera from the DAC and capture the scenes where the person is required to be on the train in a more relaxed and calm atmosphere.

Concept Amendments

Session Notes Contemplated over switching the key colour in the dream sequences from purple to yellow. The reason for this is despite purple representing the pyschye, yellow not only is an existing colour used for sign warnings , but yellow lenses or the yellow spectrum light allows people to see sharply either at night or in general. Furthermore,once observing how many predatory animals such as the eagle possessed yellow iris. It lead to my conclusion of the character in my story gaining yellow eyes thus indicating when he can see through the yellow spectrum he is more visually aware of his environment and can find his escape out of the dream. ...

Asset Preparation:CG Airship Session 1

Session Review After developing my investigation and concepts for some time, I decided to retunr to maya and continue developing my 3d skills by modelling a few test air ship bodies. A simple cylinder with ten sub divisions were used in order to match the foolds of the ballon in the reference image (figure a). Moreover, once I applied enough edge loops on the cylinder polygon it started to match the shape of the illustration. Figure A Furthermore, the balloon was surprisingly simple to create;however the small boat in the illustration was not the intended style of airship I wanted but I was going to replicate the drawing regardless. Instead I copied the balloon and created another passenger carriage that looked more like the carriage of a train (figure b).
