Design Practice 2: Animation: Inspiration and Brainstorming (Part 2)





 After researching I realise I want my theme to be a hybrid between zombie scare scenes and tribal props, with similar lighting to the old horror classics such as Dracula and Gotham city from batman. I can draw influence from the mine cart scene from Indiana Jones for my track layout. The below video is essentially the mix of culture and horror I want as my overall theme for the ride.
Resident Evil:



Below are some sketches for the cart, track layout and a scare scene:

Research Project: Artifact 4: SFX Vs VFX Gun Shot Scene

Image
Why am I doing it? To compare and contrast the working pipelines and creative processes of a VFX and SFX under controlled circumstances. Discovering the advantages and disadvantage of either form, through time, budget and levels of skill/automation. How am I doing it? Through the replication of effects in two identical scenes, specifically a gun shot scene concerning  digital wound/blood action vs a physical counterpart. Each process through pre-production to final product will be recorded with a corresponding time and resources taken to complete the task in question. Qualitative data will also be collected from myself personally along the way about how the philosophy and styles of the work differs, drawing upon concepts from my research document when relevant and applicable. Results:  It is to be noted that their was an abundance of 'fast tracks' options for both the SFX and VFX shoots (stock footage, air compressors) however to get as accurate and genuine experience of both ...

Design Practice 1: Animation: Brief

Image
My first design practice for the year is split up into three category's, interactive spaces, film and animation, each section lasts three weeks and then I advance to the next practice. I think the idea of this is to give me a taste of what each media form involves and ultimately help me decide what route I would like to take In my second year. The order in which I appear to be completing these practical assignments is: Animation  Film   Interactive Spaces Which is good because the area I'm least interested in is last, after I've completed the three areas I need to round my work up into a presentation, which will show clearly everything I've done in a ten minute talk. For my animation brief I got to play around with a piece of software called Auto Desk 3D Max, and was told that my project was to create a station ident for a channel based on my life, to keep audiences interest between shows. I viewed examples of station idents from BBC 2, ITV, CITV e.c.t, and I think I f...

Client Project: Internal: Work Submission

Image
Well I did in fact complete my 45 second advert in it's entirety inside After Effects, a risky, foolhardy task for me to take on indeed... Yet some how it payed off :) I received quite a lot of positive feedback from fellow students on the quality level of the piece, helping reassure me that it wasn't a complete amateur disaster lol. The advert has resulted in a mixture kinetic typography and sci-fi interface elements, assets derived from live-action green-screen, motion graphics, text, particles and camera flares. I believe it efficiently display ATRG's core framework and existing achievements, while simultaneously branding them as an exciting futuristic institution with impending innovation for investors. I'm glad that my After Effects project for the year is over and am looking forward to concentrating on my camera skills, ie. interviews, cinematography and documentary for the second half of the year. Bring on the end! Here is the extended addition for my personal us...
