Week 11 - Animatic

We had to create an animatic, we made a shot list for a single narrative and each member in the team drew up a storyboard, this would allow us to lift different ideas from each member's unique style.

This is the shot list we made, we wanted to evoke a documentary style, we did this with a continuous long take that takes the viewer through the lands.

Here is my storyboard











I feel like I captured the camera movement accurately, I made sure to only colour important objects within the scene such as the animals or the ink as they would be the dynamic objects. I used some ideas from my concepts like the forrest tunnel.

After making the storyboards, the group got together and we decided to do a group animatic. This would have each member create a portion of the animatic and another person would edit it together. We assigned Matthew Atkinson to editing and the rest of the group would create the animatic frames within Photoshop.

From the shot list I had to draw shots 7-9 and I also created the sound (sound creation in another blog post) . Once everyone had made their shots, Matthew compiled them together in Adobe Premiere, edited it with the sound and exported the final product.

Here is the animatic. My shots are between 00:24 and 00:41

Week 10 - The Khromatic Plains Work

I wanted to familiarise myself with The Khromatic Plains so I made various concepts to show my vision of the world and its bipolar nature. In this concept, I wanted to represent the utter beauty of the perfect world. I used extremely vibrant and contrasting colours. I wanted to make the painting feel as if it was completed on paper, I did this by using different textured brushes that helped create a water coloured feeling. I also represented the vastness of the world by showing the distant lake and mountains. The deer on the foreground is supposed to be made from paper, I tried to replicate the feeling of paper by adding a texture using a brush on photoshop. I also added a drop shadow to each body part as this makes the deer look as if it is sitting atop a painting. I was inspired by Bob Ross as he would created these vast landscape paintings. For this piece, I wanted to represent the unfinished world. It is a mirrored version of the previous piece to show how equal ...

Week 8 - Desolado Character Design + Khromatic Character Designs

For Week 8 we had to design characters that would populate our landscapes within our world. For Desolado, I wanted to create a sense of asymmetry with how the robots look, this was to mirror how humans are imperfect and how we are all different. I think asymmetrical designs are more interesting and help build a more lived in atmosphere. I first created silhouettes to help create a pose and stance that would reflect the character's personality. Before I created these, I practiced creating characters based on London police. I used different shapes to represent the character's personalities. Here are some practice silhouettes I created. I wanted to show personality without detail in these silhouettes.  I developed the silhouettes further by adding details with an outline and eventually colour. In these designs I wanted to show the extreme variations between robots. The robot on the left is a slave handler with a body made from electrical cables. One of these cab...

Week 11 - Sound

I was tasked with creating the sound that guides the viewer through the beginning of this documentary. I voice acted as the documentary presenter, I was inspired by David Attenborough from documentaries such as Blue Planet and Planet Earth but the writing was inspired by the opening cutscenes from the Little Big Planet games, these openings feature the voice of Stephen Fry along with writing that speaks of creativity and imagination. These opening monologues are usually accompanied by grand orchestral music pieces which really help set the atmosphere. Once I had obtained inspiration, I wrote a script that gave a run down of how the world operates whilst making it seem extraordinarily interesting. I wrote the script in Celtx and I had to make sure that it stayed in the time limit of 30-60 seconds. Here is the script. Once I had the script written, Matthew brought a blue snowball microphone in and we recorded the voice over in a quiet space. I recorded the sound to audacity wh...
