Interim Project Healthcheck

Session Notes

The meeting with Paul Hazel went well considering he was pleased where my progress was with the project.

Furthermore, he stated I should re-structure the theoretically pierce so I discuss the theory behind my creative decions rather then a purely scientific academical study on "escapism".

In addition, returning home I caught a topic on BBC radio four concerning the "Uncommon Senses" which fueled my research and presented to me scientific explanations for my symbolism of the character eating an apple and gaining self awareness since eating food is a practice that engages all of our senses.



Key Notes

Interoception

"eating food engages all of our senses"

"Chill does not require sense of smell hence eating it in dry air or blocked noses"

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).
