Concept Evolution

Session Notes

Returning to meet Paul Hazel once more, I understood that during our conversation and slight debate my original actions of having each image serve as a visual representation of a psychological or dream state lacked any narrative, creating weak images.

So some of the keywords I absorbed from Pauls words were to...

  • Make a visual narrative (comic book) of individual character on the airship.
  • Each person will represent different aspects of lucid nightmares, isolations.
  • The airship is the visual key that links each scene together.
  • Escapism is a form of stimulation and vitiation mentally and physically.

Further, as I returned home I contemplated on the narrative for these images since telling a story is an effective and simpler method of getting my points of self-awareness for your environment across.

Moreover, I decided to use the pigeon character I used in my consensus reality mock-up the image and from my rough sketches of pigeon heads have a family of pigeons similar to that family preparing to board the steam train in that advertisement from the Metro newspaper.

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

Image
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).
