Major Project: Interim Crit Presentation 04/03/2013

So yesterday we had our last crit day, the last day we could all get together and show progress of our work so far on our Major Projects. It was a bit of a sad realisation that our final hand in will be just a normal one. Anyway, I am looking forward to, hopefully, get back into warm presentations in the outside industry.

If you are wondering why this abstract piece is on my blog visit this blog post from the CGAA Group blog to find out more about our live comissioned project. 

This is the first time I ever attempted to draw an abstract painting. I was a bit nervous at first but I am looking forward to more now. :)

The painting was inspired by this musical piece.

Major project update

This is a summery post of what me and Dayle Sanders  have been up to since the Minor project submission on the 11th of January. So as mentioned, the Minor Project is extended throughout the Major. We started off by putting together a new proposal below:

One of our main concerns was getting the Pre-Vis together as it was hard to visualise the 3D environment through the 2D animatic. So initially we made a diagram with colour coding to figure out the layering of the props and space.

I also did some experimentation with gobos by linking images to spotlights. They will be used on the background of the forest to imitate depth and closure.  

These are a few more of the prop designs we've been working on.

Apart from the environment Hemmy's rig was enhanced and could finally get him to walk with a rough walkcycle.
