Nineth Post
January 30, 2009
Right, been doing a bit over the past couple of days and forgot to write about it. I’m having a dilemma as to how the building will grow, whether it folds together like the first cardboard box test, whether it rises out of the ground like the previous post’s test or whether it squishes and grows like so:
I’m liking the rising and folding but I’m not sure on the squish test, I’m worried that how the building grows will either make use of the furniture or make it redundant and thus turning the animation into just an architectural spin around which I really do not want. At the moment I’m building the building it’s self to give my tutors and myself some idea of what the final thing will look like, and possibly incorperate some furniture into the scene later before I render to show how it would sit.
Without the furniture I did achieve a squash test with the entire building (Building not yet totally complete by the way).
I do however need to get to doing some furniture designs for the animation in my sketchbook and get some more work down on paper rather than electronically, I really need the sketchbook to be excellent quality for this project.
To Do List Update:
- Redesign of current buildings
- Eco Housing
- Images of Royal Mail Advert.
- E4 Esting images.
- Beauty and the Beast Images.
- Animation tests with chairs
- Rough idea of animation layout including possibly 3D models of furniture or building in it’s early stages or a sketch/painting of the environment and objects.
- Redesign of furniture and objects
- Films/current animations featuring this topic
- Sketches and photographs of furniture and objects
- Storyboard and possible animatic with timings and music
- Practice with Partical Flow to create disturbed soil like floor for the furniture to grow out of
- Animation tests with furniture climbing out of the ground
